Best hidden gem that needs to be played by everyone who owns a PS4 or PS5. Highly recommend this game before playing the sequel

This game is amazing and brilliant. The graphics are incredible on the PS4 and especially the on the Pro. If you’re a fan of adventure games then I definitely recommend this title. I’m very excited for the sequel. Also, the fact that I got in on sale makes the purchase even sweeter. Also, I forgot to mention this is the complete edition which includes all the dlc

This is by far the best game i have ever played by far. My favorite was assasins creed odyssey,Batman arkham knight,Spider-man but this beats them all in my opinion graphics gameplay storyline attention to detail a large gaming experience so u get your $$$$ worth. WOW!!! Just WOW!!!

High reviews game with good price. Lower price makes me picking it.

This game is perhaps the best PlayStation exclusive to date. I’d recommend this game to anyone that owns a PS4 or PS5

PS4 Horizon Zero Dawn! Unique and Beautiful! Started playing it and it was such a masterpiece! You play as a female character who you start to love from the beginning who grows with every heartbeat in the game! I really like it!

After 80 hrs on the main campaign and DLC on Normal and then, another 60 hrs on NG+ Ultra Hard mode, this is definitely the best open-world game for me so far. What I love about HZD is that it has a very good balance all around. Besides robot dinasaurs, tribe, and archery, I came into this game blind; I didn't even watch any of the trailers and boy I'm so glad I did! The story completely caught me completely by surprise (once you reach the "The Grave-Hoard" quest, everything will begin to tie together so be patient). Each side quest is different: each either gives you a different view of the main story line or complements it (rather than mindless random tasks for an NPC that has nothing to do with the main story). I like that the story doesn't have a clearcut right/wrong: each side has their own perspective. The collectibles (metal flowers, datapoints, ancient vessels, and vantage points) also give you more insights about the past. All the NPCs are have great personalities with decent back stories that I like them all. Your conversations with some NPCs vary depending on your dialogue with them and/or other NPCs at a certain order. The combat is smooth and fast-pace; I love the thrill of taking down different machines with various methods depending on their strengths and weaknesses (those hunting grounds are good boot-camp for beginners). I heard some complaints about melee combat but this is NOT the focus of the game: you are doing it wrong if you try to hack-and-slash a Thunderjaw, Stormbird, or Fireclaw/Iceclaw to death! You do need to level up and gather materials but as long as you do all the side quests and tutorials in the game, you'll never have to worry about these things (at least I never had to purposely go out of my way to farm for lv/materials at Normal difficulty, though you will definitely need to on Ultra Hard because items cost a ridiculous amount of shards). You can override machines and/or use them as your mounts or fight buddies. Last but not least, Aloy's sass is priceless! HZD is definitely one of the most visually-stunning game that I've seen on PS4, just look at the screenshots! I'm forever thankful to have photomode. The characters' mouth movements are not the best in the beginning, but you can see a vast improvements in the Frozen Wilds DLC so I'm not too concern about it if they were to make a second installment. I must admit sometimes I override these machines and spend a lot of time in photomode just to appreciate the effort that Guerrilla Games put into this game. p/s: Shards and Mods farming tip: go to the spot right above the Sun Ring that has 2 behemoths and 2 longlegs, then use your corruption arrows (if you can't override them yet) to have them kill each other and enjoy the loot.

Hands down one of the best games of all time! Horizon was one of the reasons that I ended up buying a PS4 and it was well worth it. The graphics are pretty amazing, the story hits in all the right places, characters are fun, interesting, and a joy to get to know as you progress further and further in to the world of Horizon Zero Dawn. The combat and it’s mechanics is very satisfying, the open world entices you to explore every nook and cranny, so much so that at times I couldn’t get myself to put the controller down when it was time to take a break, get something to eat, or ya know, sleep - but hey, who needs those things when you’re busy being lost in such an imaginative world saturated with a fantastic in depth post apocalyptic sci-fi storyline filled with interesting friends and foes alike. Do yourself a favor and do not sleep on this game!

This game is an open-world action game that has some RPG elements. Very reminiscent of games like Assassin's Creed. However, most open world games typically tend to only do certain game mechanics "okay" but nothing exceptional. This game does alot of things quite well. The traversal is fantastic, with climbing and horse riding. It has stealth mechanics that are somewhat simplistic, but executed well. The combat mechanics have the ability to be quite fun, if you use them. What happens is that the stealth mechanics, if you become dependent on them, eliminates the need to approach and play the game in a different manner. Which is a shame, because you shoot with arrows, and launch multiple types of grenades, you set up booby traps like a tripwire and some landmines. And what the game does is that it has robotic enemies that would require some bit of strategy and planning in order to defeat them the way the game would want you to defeat them. They have weak points and specific moves. And you need to have the right weapons so that you can disarm the enemy's weapons, and then expose its weak points to kill it faster. So this is where the story and the RPG mechanics come into play. You don't know how these enemies are weak without some research into them, which you can get by doing missions and scanning them to find out more. And you also need to upgrade your weapons and your abilities because you will encounter higher level enemies as you progress through the game. The story is legitimately interesting, its a good premise. At first it feels like a rip-off of dystopic futuristic sci-fi movies like Mad Max, Planet of the Apes, The Matrix, etc. The core missions that tell the backstory are great. The only problem is that this game didn't have alot of side missions that help flesh out more of the world. So, there's not much incentive for you to explore the entire map, because there's almost never a mission there to discover. Its a minor complaint, because there's already alot of content in this game. By the way this version comes with an expansion storyline, so there isn't a lack of content for what you are buying. And lastly, this game looks drop-dead gorgeous. You want a game that shows off some pretty graphics, this one delivers it in spades. It looks great, in terms of realism, but it also has a unique design that makes it trippy and hyper-realistic. Some fantastic looking environments. The only minor quibble is that near the beginning of the game, there is this forested area that looks a little too cluttered with small foliage, trees, and little neon lights during the night-time, and sometimes its tough to make out what you are seeing up ahead. Other than that, there are fantastic area of dilapted ruins, dystopic desert lands with mountains, and snowy mountainous regions. And then there's amazing lighting and fog and shadows, and you will be playing and realize you are looking at something stunning, and just stop and take notice. Alot of "wow" moments when it comes to its visual qualities. What's exciting about this game is that the developer who made this has never made a game of this type before. So for their first attempt, they get a LOT of things right. And it makes the potential for a sequel to be a great game, because you know exactly where they can improve. I wouldn't type this much if I wasn't impressed by this game. Its a must-play.

This game is amazing. The graphics, story, and combat are all on point. I watched my brother play it for a while when I would be in town visiting and I was blown away. When I found the game on sale, I jumped at the opportunity and was pleasantly surprised to see that it came with the Frozen Wilds DLC. (I hadn't really examined the box more than to confirm it had the main game as I was buying it even if it didn't have the DLC) You can get to the DLC fairly early, but I recommend playing the main story and completing that first before diving into the DLC as it can be a little confusing when they reference certain things that happened late in the main story. There are only a couple of times that kind of thing happened so the writers did a great job avoiding major spoilers.

Horizon Zero Dawn I Cant Praise this Game Enough, The Story is Amazing, The Gameplay is Very Fun especially the Combat , the Ooen World is Huge with Added Frozen Wild DLC HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME!!

Boy, did I underestimate this game. I'm fairly new to the PS4 world and I only have a couple games so far, including Horizon: Zero Dawn. I did my research about H:ZD beforehand and usually the 'open world' concepts turn me off, but my love for strong female protagonists in storylines won me over this time. The game is brilliant, to say the least. It's beautiful to look at. The combat is simple to understand, but challenging when it calls for it. The open world isn't too overwhelming, because your quests usually don't reach more than 5 or 6 at a time and when you 'activate' one, it shows you where to go. The story is interesting so far. Some of the writing is a little cheesy, but that's a minor con. Did I mention how beautiful this game is?

On a PS4 Pro and on a large screen, UHD display that supports HDR, this game has no equal. This game is a poster child for justifying upgrading a PS4 or TV or both. It is that good. The early parts of the game where your character and protagonist, Aloy, is a child gave me chills simply on the merits of its graphics alone. This makes the world feel very alive and helps to make up for very good but not great gameplay. The setting changes as you get into the game, so it is not all out in the wild also. There are “dungeons” (I use term loosely to avoid spoiling anything) (10/10 for graphics, atmosphere and setting) It has been described as an Action RPG, but it is really just an action game where you level-up and can spend skill points to improve abilities. With about 15 hours into the game and level 20, those abilities don’t really make for unique experience, and the game will play the same for just about everyone. In terms of gameplay though, it is derivative of a number of previous titles, but does carve out a niche with a few mechanics. At times it feels very much like Assassin’s Creed. Others like Far Cry 4. Then it feels like the Tomb Raider reboots and Witcher 3, and finally Metal Gear Solid V. There are creatures to climb to the top of to unlock locations on your map. You can hide in brush and whistle for enemies to come close and stealth kill. You can tag enemies from a distance to help with taking out a bandit camp and turning it over to your people. Story driven quest lines and choices that rarely have any impact though to how the game progresses, and often the conversations are monotone and bland. (8/10 for gameplay) Quest lines can be selected and unselected at will from main story-line quests to errands or side quests. The side quests so far are ok, but a lot of travel involved, and feels unnecessary. In the early game, travel by foot is preferred and most players will use as opportunity to get better at playing game, etc. However at mid game when it shows I have to go from one end of map to another, you still have to run or ride the first time to unlock fast travel. The story lines of the quests are very good, but not Witcher 3 good if that is the standard. (7/10 for Story so far) Equipment upgrades can be crafted, and the game allows you to create customized quest for regents needed to craft these updates. For example, an ammo pouch upgrade from 4 to 8 slots may name some metal shards and some skins or bones from a particular animal. Apparently, most rabbits in this game are invertebrates, as you may kill several before getting one with a bone needed for crafting. There are close to a dozen different pouches that can be upgraded 4 times each I believe, and I am still taking time to hunt for parts to upgrade. There is probably a merchant I can get them from, but overall just annoying. Perhaps there is later game equipment, but a lot of higher end rare equipment can be purchased early game and none feels unique so far. Unfortunate that these upgrades are available to the player from the start and a grind. Upgrades work like skill trees where you have to upgrade to each level one at a time. Why not just upgrade to level 4 pouch if the game tells me what I need, but you have to go through each one. Inventory cannot be sorted, and weapons/armor cannot be compared side by side. Hoping for patch. (5/10 for crafting and upgrades and equipment) This is not a fast paced game, but I suppose one could focus on the main story and get through faster. There are collectables and locations and other places to explore off the main story. I enjoy that, and one of the aspects that reminds me of the Tomb Raider games. There are items to find that give back story to the post-post-post apocalyptic world you are in, and I have had fun tracking down. Overall, very good game and hard to put down, but I do realize some may get bored with side quests, slow pacing, and grinding aspects. Amazing visuals that cannot be beat. (8.9/10)

While Horizon Zero Dawn doesn't necessarily do anything completely "new" in the genre (other than its robot creature-filled setting), this game serves as a sort of "greatest hits" of the open-world genre. The world is lively and exciting, the RPG mechanics are deep and open, the combat is fun and inventive, the graphics are outstanding, and the story is interesting and well-acted and thought out. While it may not be "the best" at any one of these things individually, it does them all very competently and ultimately serves as an awesome, must-play exclusive on the PS4 and a great new direction for Guerrilla Games.

Alongside Persona 5, The Last of Us, and Bloodborne, Horizon Zero Dawn is essential for any PS4 owner. Horizon has the perfect blend of story, gameplay, music, and graphics. More than any other game, everything in this game is incredibly accessible to newcomers to games in general. The controls are easy to grasp; the light RPG-esque elements never overwhelm the player, and the gameplay mechanics are all worthwhile to master and not overwhelming to learn. And it's so cheap. There's so much content, including extra DLC like the excellent Frozen Wilds expansion. Please get this game.

Well, you've seen the reviews from others and there is a reason why. I really don't have to say anything more than what others have already said. If you want a game that demonstrates HDR and all of the goodies of your 4k TV, this game is it. If you want a well-thought out and planned storyline, this game is it. If you want to see opportunities to continue on AFTER you have beat the normal mode, this game is it. It's an open world, which is incredible in itself. There are only a few places in the story where you are constrained, but even then you can abandon that quest and go off and do something else, though you'll depart from the story line - which is necessary for continuation. The character animation is incredible as well as the world. If you take the time to enjoy the storyline and not just blow through it like some can, you'll find an incredible background to this game. Once you beat the game on normal mode, never fear - more new options become available when you do hard modes - specifically, customization of your main character. So, they give you a reason to keep playing. I am still playing the game, although I have long since beaten it and the expansion, Frozen Wilds. I enjoy just going out and farming for items and fighting machines. I don't even ride mounts because they can move really fast and I want to enjoy the scenery by moving on foot. A game that will keep you entertained for many hours (days, months?), you will not regret this purchase. Now that it is $20 WITH Frozen Wilds, it's hard not to buy this game. If you don't own a PS4 Pro, this would be a great reason to invest in one now. I find the greatest fun is playing on the hardest mode - enemy health bars are removed, machines and wildlife are more susceptible to your presence (unless you have a stealth outfit), you take more damage, and you just can't be careless. There are some machines that will one-shot you if you take the brunt of their attack. A great feature of this game is the Photo mode, where you can take a picture of your character and enhance your photo shot with the many of the tools they give you (overexposure, aperture, time of day, etc.). This is just a gorgeous game to behold and a fantastic game to play.

The cover on this is much better executed than the original cover and it’s worth the slightly higher cost because of the DLC and everything else it includes. The game itself is one of the better open world action titles out there and is a very good PlayStation exclusive. The music is a standout, the story is intriguing and the gameplay is fun and interesting. I don’t know why this game is so cheap now so if you’re thinking about getting this game I say give it a shot

HZD is an open world action adventure game with mild RPG elements that really nails it in many ways. The game has an engaging story though at times it can feel generic, I enjoyed it. The tactical combat is interesting and the graphics of the world are simply beautiful. I have yet to dive into the DLC, but as far as I hear, this is a decently sized content package that adds an entirely new area to the game. I would recommend HZD to anyone who is a fan of open world games.

I'm going to say something that would qualify as blasphemy to most fans of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (BOTW)—I like Horizon Zero Dawn just as much. I’ve been a long-time fan of Zelda games (and basically bought the switch to play BOTW), so I don’t think I could bring myself to say that I like it more than BOTW but… You get the idea. Honestly, I almost didn’t give it a chance because I didn’t think I’d like the story (post-apocalyptic setting, rampaging machines, etc.), but a friend said the story was amazing so I had to give it a shot. I’m glad I did. I LOVE the storyline. I haven’t finished the game yet, but I get a sense that there will be some good twists. Also, the voice-acting is top notch, the world interesting, and the graphics great. The fighting mechanics are fun and feel natural. And I actually enjoy the fighting—which is saying something—because if there is one thing that will bore me in gameplay it is the fighting. I also love the side quests, of which it has plenty. If you hate side quests, it doesn’t hurt the overall gameplay if you skip them, but they do help you to level up quickly, get stocked back up on resources/shards, and some of them have engaging little storylines. Overall, it has kept me very entertained for hours on end.

Normally open world games I don't do well with. I just wind up playing all the sidequests & ignore the story till I get bored with the title. This game really caught me with the story & the world they've built is really something else. There's plenty of side quests to do for sure, but IDK if it's the scifi nature of this one or what but it's just a great game. The visuals are some of the best on the platform & it runs really well even on my slim model. IDK if the Pro runs it any better, but on the slim it seemed to manage 30fps most of the time. This is in my opinion the best exclusive on the console, which is now on PC and worth playing there (it's had many patches if you heard it's not a good port, it's very good now!). This comes with the DLC which is also worth having. More missions, more skills to master. The gameplay is unlike other open world games for the most part. Your character is set and it's your skills and bows that you can customize to change things up. There is melee, but it's almost akin to a melee in a FPS, you're better off with your ranged weapons unless you do a sneak attack or the enemy is stunned. The world is really fun to explore, the story is crazy. Grab, this, it's, worth, it. If ya got a PS4, grab this.
