I can't believe there are reviewers who has e this game the same score, or a lower score than zero dawn, as awesome as zero dawn was this game is a massive improvement, and I saw one review that gave it a 65. That reviewer should be committed to a mental institution for an evaluation. I know people's reviews are kind of their subjective opinion but if you give this game a score of 65 you are factually wrong. This game is at least a 92 or 93 and I can't wait to get a copy for my PS5.

I’m playing this right now on the PS5. The first game is still a gorgeous looking game, but this game takes up a notch. There are times I catch myself just looking around, taking in the scenery. It’s just a visual feast. As far as the gameplay, it’s been improved as well. Not perfect, but improved from the original. The story just keeps you wanting to dive deeper. This may end up being one of my all time favorites, with the likes of The Witcher 3. It’s a must play, if you like open world, action rpg’s.

For a first attempt at an open world title, Guerilla did a great job; I can only imagine they have learnt from the experience of what worked and didn't and have a more refined experience for us this time.

I really enjoyed the story in the first game. I came in with totally the wrong idea about the setting; let's just say I had no idea where I was but once I found out about the where and the when, and what Zero Dawn is, it kinda blew me away. My whole perspective of the game changed and the story became quite a bit more impactful and meaningful from that point on.

Thanks for not showing spoilers and keeping it simple. Seen many reviews only a handful of them were very careful. One of them posted even re-uploading after complaints he got. I just started to watch and saw that community message and immediately stopped watching. It is great Sony is confident of their product by lifting the review embargo 4 days ahead of release but is has its downsides like this.

@DrRESHES 2 жыл бұрын

The only thing that matters for me is: How good is the DualSense ? How much the Haptic feedback emitting sounds and vibrate ? and how intensively ? How many levels does the Adaptive Triggers are being used ? and how many noticeable sounds did the Mic in the Controller ? Is this game's Dualsense is as good as Astro's Playroom ? Or spread throughout like in Ghost of Tsushima ?

My save data messed up. I platinum the game. Moved to Ps5 and I bought dlc, I loaded up complete edition because I’m sure it was free. Well I was level 50 but at start of game. Was very annoyed. I personally think I messed up transferring data to Ps5. I may just give in and play it again. Especially since I bought dlc and not played it. 1 thing I’m absolutely dreading is the challenges to get those best weapons in game. I did it before but man it was so frustrating and I think I just got lucky before.
