Stunningly beautiful game
Enormous open-world with masses to see and do
Great ranged and melee combat
Involving and complex plot
Aloy is one of the best gaming characters around
Some side missions and tasks can be repetitive
So too can machine hunting for resources

Horizon Forbidden West reviewed by Twinfinite
A riveting narrative with twists, turns and memorable characters
Improved combat mechanics, every machine is its own unique puzzle waiting to be cracked
An immersive world with something of interest around every corner
Improved visuals and facial animations make for more engaging cutscenes and conversations with NPCs
It’s Zero Dawn, but bigger and better in every conceivable way.
Bugs and glitches can break the immersion when they do crop-up, though the day-one update does appear to have resolved many of the issues.

Strong cast of new and returning characters, brought to life by excellent writing and voice acting
A gorgeous, lovingly crafted open world that keeps offering up memorable new vistas
Incredible side quests and open world activities maintain an impressive level of variety and quality throughout the entirety of the experience

A fearsome and varied roster of machines
Melee combat has seen some improvements
Hunting machines to upgrade your weapons and armour never gets boring.

Stunning visuals and vastly improved animation
fantastic writing and endearing characters

great side quests
lots of cool new machines
melee combat is overhauled
skills and crafting are greatly expanded
inventory management is less of a chore.
Antagonists could use a little more screen time
occasional asset loading issues and various other bugs
managing items during combat can be frustrating
easy to get overleveled
fighting human enemies is still not as fun as taking on machines.

Another great performance from Ashly Burch
Visually arresting art direction
Plenty to see and do
The script is lacklustre
Very similar to the previous game

Horizon Forbidden West reviewed by AusGamers
Visually stunning on PS5
Expanded story and a world that feels more alive
Combat builds on the core of the first outing
Fighting dino-bots is as tense and thrilling as ever
Exploration and hunting
Feels too much like the first game, just bigger
No refinement or changes to items, gear, and crafting
Climbing is stiff and mostly limited to ?only this way?
Swimming looks pretty but is clunky
PS5 60fps performance mode looks muddy and noticeably lowers image quality settings
Open world activities, exploration/hunting, and questing all feel like separate games
Outside of combat and setting there?s very little that?s exciting

Looks and runs great on PS5
Score is splendid
Machines intricately designed
‘Machine strike’ is fun
New navigational tools
Valor Surge is helpful
Eases you into the game
World feels artificial and manufactured
Poorly-designed padding
Pushes you to grind
Story undercut thematically
Thorny cultural appropriation with clothing
Not all stealth hits are one-hit KO
Deceitful PS5 pricing, given free upgrade
