Its narrative is one of its strengths, with unforgettable characters and twists and turns that maintain a solid pace throughout, and it's combat has been expanded on, adding in new weapon and ammo types to make eliminating machines and humans an immensely satisfying experience. All of this is wrapped up in a world that feels more alive and meticulously crafted than its predecessor with visuals and animations that bring that special blockbuster feel Sony's exclusives are now renowned for to the PS5. Bugs and glitches can occasionally take the shine off it, but with many addressed by the day one update, these are likely to have less of an impact on your experience.

It’s a shame that outside of the core cast there is a depth lacking for most of the characters, and leaving color blind options out of a game that uses color in its mechanics is a miss on otherwise great accessibility options. What I can’t let go of, though, is just how good Horizon Forbidden West is everywhere else. I need to find all the weapons. I must unlock all the skills. I’ve got to know what’s in those Relic Ruins or solve the puzzle and defeat the boss in the Cauldron.

With that title, they jumped into a brave new narrative-focused world and found momentous success. Following it up was going to be no easy task, but the studio has managed to mostly succeed with Horizon Forbidden West. The story is better told by splitting intrigue and suspense across both the modern day and Old Ones story. There are more interesting and better-developed characters, both friend and foe. The world of the Forbidden West is vast and filled with more entertaining activities than Zero Dawn's world, and it's bolstered by the same excellent gameplay fans have come to know and love. It's disappointing that platforming is a major step back from the original title, creating frustration when trying to figure out what's automated and what's climbable. With a campaign that lasts twenty hours and plenty of side quests, it's great that the presentation is as gorgeous as it is, though it could have used additional polish to iron out the technical bugs and glitches. Horizon Forbidden West is a great sequel that builds upon and expands what made the original so beloved, and though it takes some steps back in terms of certain mechanics and polish, it's still a thrilling ride from start to finish.","2025-01-15T07:52:45.688284-05:00",{"id":756,"logo":768,"name":769,"slug":770,"tags":180,"bluesky":19,"twitter":771,"youtube":772,"facebook":773,"mastodon":19,"muckrack":19,"claimed_at":19,"description":774,"website_url":775,"score_format":46,"average_score":76,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":776,"stats_updated_at":777,"headquarters_city":19,"news_editor_email":19,"platforms_covered":19,"claimed_by_user_id":19,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":778,"headquarters_country":19,"reviews_editor_email":19,"editor_in_chief_email":19,"published_authors_count":779,"published_reviews_count":780},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FHardcore-Gamer-Logo.jpg","Hardcore Gamer ","hardcore-gamer","HardcoreGamer","HardcoreGamerVideo","Hardcore-Gamer","Follow us for the latest and greatest in video game news, previews, reviews and more.

In Forbidden West, she takes no shit — but she also learns valuable lessons about accepting help, and about acknowledging the grief that comes from growing up as an outcast. She goes to bat for the people she cares about. Forbidden West homes in on the contrast between her convictions and those of Dr. Elisabet Sobeck, the creator of the Zero Dawn project that set the whole series in motion, and the character from whom Aloy was cloned. Where Sobeck took the destruction of humanity as an assumption, and worked to repopulate the Earth, Aloy fights for the survival of those who are alive today. Even as the story throws in twists and additional characters that alter the scope of the threat she’s up against, her steadfast resolve remains.
