Fired this up today and it is rough on PS5. Only has one graphics mode. Low res, low quality textures and shadows, pop in, jaggies and aliasing, and the worst offender is it’s uncapped framerate which bounces all over the place from 20’s and 30’s seemingly all the way up to near 60. It’s not a great first impression. Hopefully they’ll get some patches in but I’m surprised no review sites really mentioned this. I get they were probably playing the PC version but this one is in rough shape.

Double-A games are the best games. The budgets aren't so high that devs aren't willing to take a chance on more niche ideas. And at the same time it still has enuff of a budget to look like a polished product.

It's in dire need of a patch, every fixing the car I'm told to get the first aid kits out of the locker, oops, I already took it, and now they're gone and apparently no one to get them back. Too make things worse, got this far figuring it's been auto-saving, nope. Also no save option so far. So yay, have to restart from the beginning. Oh also, getting into the car can be buggy. I get the enter car option, use it, it opens the door and thats it. The label now changes to "open door" but I if take the option it lets me sit in the car... Has the reviewer actually tried playing? These are some game killing bugs there.....

Blows my mind how a game like Horizon Forbidden West, a detailed open world game mind you, can run a solid 60fps yet this can’t SMH. I’ll wait for when the performance is 60fps or at least offers a stable frame rate experience.

This game was made by a small newer studio of 20 people. Not by the juggernaut that is Sony Studios. A couple hundred people with a blown out budget made Horizon. With that said, I do think it could have been polished a bit more.

With the price of most new games being $60-$70.00. I think if you can get a game for $30.00, and a lot of reviews are positive. You should put it on your wishlist. I expect some things to feel repetitive at a $30.00 price. I like open world games, but it's nice to have some games that keep you on mission.

so just got it on ps5 and here's my thoughts on 2hrs so far. runs 30fps witch looks like 1080p at start but now looks wors once u get out in the open if you've ever played the forest graphics are like that the trees and grass part not the best looking game also had to do the start 2 times because of a bug in the game were it told me to gather materials and just stayed on the screen then needed to load my last save witch was at the start of game I was so pissed then after that I needed to craft something but had to do it twice because it never gave me the item it got me frustrated because I needed to find the components again witch took me ages another big were you open car door to get in and it doesn't let u in still having issues with that and something randomly drops items that I've slotted on my d pad I big gripe I've got is no 3rd person view of car and its a mofo to reverse especially with all the stuff u need in the back of car u can't really see there's no graphical settings that I can find so it is a bit rough if u can look past everything I've just said game is still ok and if you guys want more updates let me know going to put in another hour today then off to bed it's currently 5:30am here in Australia but will play more and let ya know

I've been disappointed to find out that some PS5 games are missing content that is standard for the PC version. For instance, I have Stranded Deep on both platforms. But the console version has a much smaller map. There are about 50 searchable islands on PC, whereas the console only has 21.
