I'm having a lot of fun with this game. You can tell they really put a lot of work into the facial animations, in Zero Dawn the faces seem stilted and rough but I'm Forbidden West I am blown away with the expressive realism the faces have.

It’s worth mentioning that the game menu has a Notebook section with character bios that become available when they become relevant. Each bio does a great job of explaining the history of Zero Dawn to help you understand exactly what has happened up to this point. It was great for me as a refresher. By the time you get to Meridian the first time there’s enough unlocked to get a good idea of what happened.

@@DJGuRu0071 - Yes there’s a lot more things to do and discover. Where in the first game you purchased like ALL your armor and weapons through merchants, this time there are a decent amount u get through quest lines. Or, by stumbling across a group of people that need help, they might gift you smoke bombs (new ability) for your help. The detail is also more dense, and their are more cool worldly things to discover - like a tiny random cave, and such. ALSO, there are these cool puzzles where you have to figure out how to get into a building, etc. I haven’t gotten super far but I can tell there is a lot to offer.

There were a lot pf relatable moments even as early on in the game and I can’t wait to spend 120 more hours in the world of Horizon (which was roughly the time I spent in Zero Dawn).

I love what they've been doing with Horizon Forbidden West. Considering this is only the second open world that Guerrilla has made, yet despite this it is up there with one of the best ones made, I can't imagine what 3 is going to be like for the Horizon trilogy (or more, if they decide to continue Aloy's story). It's like the devs took what they learned in Zero Dawn and their only notes were: "more gameplay, better graphics, more stuff". I can't believe how little I've progressed the story in over 10 hours of gameplay just because I'm so busy exploring the portion of the map I've opened up. It won't be for everybody, but I think It's worth everybody's time to at least try Horizon out, especially if you have at least demoed Zero Dawn.

Brom that game made by Filipino developer. In the Horizon Forbidden West credits, it was revealed that Filipino game studio, Pixel Mafia, helped create Sony’s latest PlayStation exclusive. Pixel Mafia is one of the many support studios that developer Guerilla has tapped to create this massive new open world game. Here’s a list of all the Pixel Mafia developers who helped bring Horizon Forbidden West to life (from the game’s credits): there's many Filipino name developers in photo but you can't post KZfaq because in images. But You can search thier name in website pixel Mafia In case you’re unfamiliar, Pixel Mafia is a Philippine-based art development studio that is known for creating art assets for triple-A titles. The studio has worked on a wide range of games, including Halo Infinite, Diablo 2: Resurrected, Cyberpunk 2077, and more. While Pixel Mafia has not yet revealed what exactly they worked on in Horizon Forbidden West, we can surmise that the Filipino studio helped create art assets (possibly for weapons and environmental objects). This is based on their previous works for other triple-A games. For instance, the studio worked on various graphic design elements for Cyberpunk 2077. Search them. Pixel mafia on Facebook.

The side quests have meaning, the different merchant types is really cool. The system for character upgrades improved dramatically, the story evolved into something that allowed the game to be massive and still make perfect sense. Companions are pretty cool. They opened up sooo much with. Camos. Special abilities once you get the valor surge is pretty awesome. The relics take some critical thinking which is pretty great to. So much greatness in 80 gigs.

Totally agree with you. One of my top games. The only complaint i would say is that the points and skill tree run out. Why not be able to go above level 50 and max out on all skills? Best point is the arena you are forced to use weapons that you have to build up in the perk tree to use more effectively. That makes you use skill points you might not want to use especially playing on a harder level. All in all up there right next to The Last Of Us.

I was surprised by how much story there still is to tell about the Old World. My worry was that the first game already wowed us with the big reveal of why the world is the way it is, but boy does this second game still have some awesome tricks up it's sleeve. Haven't finished it yet, so it might not hit at the end the same way the first game did, but so far I'm just super engrossed in everything this game is trying to do.

For me, the first game's story execution was poor. The story and lore itself is interesting, but the way they present it was boring. Way too much exposition dump by NPCs instead of you experiencing or discovering that exposition. In FHW, you as Aloy participate more in the story. One best example for me is the Las Vegas main quest. The awe of that area, and understanding why and how it came to be, and that mission's ending. What a spectacle. You even care about those 3 NPCs you meet for the quest. In HZD, I couldn't care less about any NPC (except Rost and Sylens) and any of the different tribes.

But what Impressed me the most are the facial animations, voice acting and details on the characters, no one feels out of place. This game is a banger, GOTY material and one to be remembered.

I absolutely loved the first game, put around 120 hours into it, and the best aspects were definitely the story and gameplay. The world was also perfect size too - not too big or small, enough stuff to do without feeling overwhelmed, and good mix of biomes. The only slight criticisms would be the poor climbing system and some underwhelming side quests. From this video, those seem to be fixed so I'm excited to play. Looks great! Idk if the story will hold up against the first tho, i did not expect such an interesting concept and narrative.

I don't really have to mention the graphics becsuse everything has already been said. The story builds quite nicely from the first title, the characters really make me care about what happens to them, and like Jake said, I have found myself spending more time exploring and getting lost more than I have with a game in quite a long time.

I loved this game, it's just so beautiful and the storyline is really good as well, it's quite tragic what happened to the Old Ones. I played Zero Dawn 3 or 4 times on New Game+ , the last time just before purchasing Forbidden West, so it was hard for me going back no weapons or skills at the start of Forbidden West. It's good this also has a New Game + Option. I'm a pretty crappy player (according to my adult gamer sons, but they are probably right) I always have to play on the easiest setting, which in Forbidden West still provides a decent enough challenge in combat. I finished the main quest at level 30, and am very happy going round exploring the world and doing side quests, finding all the collectibles, (the newly added ones are great) and completing tall necks and caldrons. I like the ruins quests, those puzzles in them are fun.

However, I feel like the voice acting from the majority of the NPC residents and quest givers lack cultural distinctions aside from regional dialect euphemisms.

My main issue with the game is the entire climbing system feels... off. It just feels janky, Aloy doesn't always go where you point her. It's not just the weird selective climbing points on the walls/cliffs, it's also the platform hopping and the nimble quick climbing/jumping. It's almost like the invisible 'zone' where you need to put Aloy to have her latch on or jump up to the next climbing point is way too small. You can be sitting on the side of the cliff, you're holding onto a bright yellow climb point, staring at another one right above you, and instead of a smooth push of the joystick upwards, you have to sort of roll the joystick back and forth as you push up on it until you get the right spot for her to make the next climb. It's not terrible, it's only on some areas too, but it adds up and with the amount of climbing/platforming in this game, it's much more noticeably janky than many of the other games in similar genres.

14 hour in today, the climbing and constantly getting hung up on terrain is annoying, but I can forgive those for now, as those are the only major things that annoy me. They'll probably patched out over time. Game is great! Beginning part bored the hell out of me but once it opens up, it gets way better.

Combing sucks. Particularly the puzzles that take this expansive game and turn it into this hyper linear and often nonsensically specific experience. At one point I got stuck in a house basement because the game scripted a hold point to fall. And there was no way to get up the wall that was indicated I needed to climb. Windows everywhere. Non climbable (but a kid could climb) locations everywhere. I had to glitch up the wall to get out. So stupid. It's just very immersion breaking and forced.

It would be better if they imported the assasins creed type of climbing which is better but still very happy with what we got

I love the facial movements/animations… that was one of the problems from the first game but Now I’m actually more eager to select all dialogue options.

I'm loving It so much I'm around 13hrs in and the story is blowing me away! I'm also playing on base ps4 and haven't had any bugs aside from delayed texture pop in(although in saying that still not as bad as cyberpunk)

I really enjoyed doing side quests in this game feels more like a main story quests... i think because of how the devs creates those side characters more expressive and intresting
