Another Playstation 1st Party Win
If graphics and fidelity are your jam, this game probably tops the list of best looking games out there right now. I can't get over just how good this looks on a 4k TV! I thought the Horizon Zero Dawn was ok, but not the best. This game on the other hand is STRIDES ahead of its predecessor. It improves upon every element the first game may have been lacking. I wouldn't this is a perfect game by any means, but you can bet it's damn near close! Can't wait to see more of what Guerrilla Games has to offer! 9/10

Brilliant brilliant. Loving it !
I loved Horizon Zero Dawn, one of the best games I've ever played. Horizon Forbidden West improves on almost everything: graphically stunning on PS5, great monsters to fight, great character control with moving and fighting, well-designed user interface in general.

Horizon Forbidden West (for PlayStation 5) Review
Horizon Forbidden West takes everything that made Horizon Zero Dawn an excellent action-adventure title, and adds more environmental variety and quest verticality to create an even better game. Guerrilla Games’ Horizon Zero Dawn was one of the PlayStation 4's best-received games, which made a sequel inevitable. Five years and a console generation later, we have the $69.99 Horizon Forbidden West. It builds upon everything that made the first game great, with a new and bigger world that features more verticality thanks to superior climbing (and falling) mechanics. Horizon Forbidden West keeps the same open-world, spear-and-bow-wielding, machine-hunting formula, but its greater variety keeps the game interesting even after you sink a few dozen hours into it. The action-adventure game (available for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5) is a few steps better than Horizon Zero Dawn, and for that it easily earns our Editors’ Choice award. Horizon Forbidden West's Gameplay The game takes place a few months after Horizon Zero Dawn, and once again stars the lone huntress, Aloy. After the previous game's events, HADES is no longer a world-destroying threat, but there are still numer...
Pros:
- Huge, dense world
- Many entertaining missions
- Improved climbing, and new tools that let you easily scale the many vertical environments
- Looks fantastic, even if it isn't a revolutionary leap from the first game
Cons:
- Some stability issues even after day-one patch
- The Cauldrons sidequests are a chore
