A great sequel but also kind of disappointing. It plays it too safe and the bad guys seem very uninspired and bland. The world is beautiful and the graphics are on another level especially on PS5, but Aloy really should get some emotions and less symbols on the map would help with exploration not feeling like a checklist.

Good gameplay. Taking down machines is fun so it's worth playing for that if you can get it cheap or play it on Extra as I did. Dialogue and characters are dreadful though. Really terrible. Every single white male is either hopeless or evil. They're not even trying to hide the agenda in this game. Surprised there weren't rainbow flags hanging from the various faction encampments. Every data recording you find about when the war was just starting has a female pilot trying to lead her squad. All the faction and camp leaders are non white men aside from one camp early on but naturally he's a total sc**bag and the mission for it ends with him being run out of town. The factions themselves are almost all devoid of any uniqueness. All as you'd expect with the ongoing nonsense polluting current media. The Osaram do at least have some personality about them but the rest could be from any faction as they're all the same. There's no mystery to the story since everything was explained in ZD and the new story isn't very interesting. As I said its worth playing for the gameplay which saves it from being a 4 out of 10 game.

This is a prime example of a misandrist game, it does so much right with theworld building but everything else is just a shtty mess. A lot of the lowlifes are white guys, the better male leaders are POC, normally that would be not a problem but this is such a big thing in this game that it just bothers the 10th time it happens. All big sane scientists are female, all those who were responsible for the death of billions were male, all female KIs are good, all male KIs are bad and try to kill everyone... the good male characters are either lowkey or POC, and even the chief with arms thick as a treestump gets his ass beaten by regalla who is like 2/3rd his size and weights probably 50% less than him. Ok i understand that this is a scifi setting, where all the warriors are female (so prehistoric humans had only female warriors? I think they took strong women a step too far,) and robots roam the world.The moment i start to enjoy the game i encounter another idiot, narcissist, psychopath, egoist male figure who does just stirr sht up.I wrote a similar post a few days ago on the subreddit, which had a much lighter criticism,but i still got bashed and insulted by every degenerate there, people who slightly agreed with me got downvoted, at the end mypost got deleted and i got banned and the moderators told me that i should kill myself. However, that did not make this game better or worse but it showed me what kind of degeneracy one has to have to enjoy this game without having a second thought about how antiwhite male this game is.

El juego merece un 9 sobre 10, pero la imposibilidad de completar los fosos de lucha por los bugs en los combos en PS5 ( en PS4 sí puede completarlos ) hace que al dividir la nota del resto del juego 9÷2 merece un 4,5 de valoración, no entiendo que habiendo transcurrido más de 2 años desde su lanzamiento no se hayan subsanado. Recomiendo bajar la versión para PS4 ya que te da menos bugs y puedes completar el recado de la perseverante y jugarlo en una PS4 no en una PS5, pero si decides jugar la versión para PS5 recomiendo ignorar dicho recado y lo fosos de lucha para evitar una experiencia frustrate. Sin los fosos de lucha el juego es magnífico...pero te deja mal sabor no poder completar una misión por unos combo de lucha inútiles e imposibles de conseguir con el mando duslsense de PS5. Es una pena , me encanta el juego pero si horizon 3 mantiene los fosos de lucha no lo compraré, no me gusta las frustraciones cuando juego, juego para disfrutar no para frustrarme.

Horizon Forbidden West™ Complete Edition

Forbidden West focuses a lot more on element damage I noticed until get end game with over powered high damage weapons. It's defo not the same, you could pretty much spam roll in ZD and be invincible, you have to dodge correctly in this one especially on the harder difficulties.

On average, it takes just over 28 hours to beat Forbidden West while solely focusing on the campaign and little else. If you want to tackle side quests, which I highly recommend, you're looking at about 60 hours. For completionists, it's possible to hit almost 100 hours of gameplay.
