I was eagerly waiting for the forbidden west to be released after having played the zero dawn and was in love with the game. Absolutely amazing story, gameplay and characters.
Just finished the Burning Shores yesterday and couldn’t be more satisfied. Can’t wait for another sequel to come out soon.
As usual, it was a breeze to go to the Best Buy store and just buy the game. Couldn’t wait to have it delivered and waste any more day.

Awesome sequel! The game play is soooo good and it was difficult to put the controller down. Has great haptic feedback, graphics are amazing! Story is good to but I was to focused on how fun the game is to get wrapped into a story. I preordered this game and was totally worth it, especially getting those bestbuy points!

A massive world with companions that bring the story close to home. The game looks, plays, and sounds gorgeous and the companions you make as Aloy keep you engrossed as you try to save the world.

This game is truly the best game ever created for an enormous amount of reasons, possibly too much to state in a regular review, but the game is truly amazing.
Its story, gameplay, graphics, and how the whole game plays out is a literal masterpiece of work. Yea better than Zero Dawn, improves upon everything. I had received the platinum trophy for this game, and I just want to say: you have truly outdone yourselves, Guerilla Games, and keep up the good work!

This game is beautiful; a great showcase for the PS5! The graphics are amazing, and I think it sets a new bar for how NPCs should be animated. The dialogue looks more natural than I've ever seen it before. Combat is challenging, but not frustratingly so. I've been playing for dozens of hours, and I'm just a little over halfway through the game, so you're getting a lot of bang for your buck here.

Great follow up to HZD! Looks even more amazing on the PS5. Interesting how the story pucks up right where the last game ended. Aloy starts from scratch in this game, so it doesn't matter if you haven't played the first game.

Hands down the best graphics on consoles. The facial animation is on far with CGI movies and details are far beyond what video games were capable of.
Gameplay is improved from first and I enjoyed more than the Zero Dawn.
