Horizon Zero Dawn Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Horizon is a game that you can get truly immersed in. The story is roughly 25-30 hours long and to be honest that’s nothing in comparison to how much more gameplay there is. If you incorporate Bandit camps, side quests and other character building events from the game, there is probably well over 100 hours of gameplay there. That is without all of the time you will spend fighting machines for fun, because the combat system is just that good. I never felt like I couldn’t take on an enemy, but I always needed to have my wits about me for every combat situation. All of the machines attack in diff...
For thirteen years, Guerrilla Games have been tied to the Killzone IP. I'll never hide the fact that I'm not a fan of Killzone. It also left me with a perception of Guerrilla that was all wrong. I'd come to believe they couldn't make anything other than a generic FPS. They were stuck repeating themselves in one single franchise. As with every studio, I wanted them to branch out and make something, anything fresh. Something new. Welcome to Horizon Zero Dawn, the game that makes it all worth it.
Horizon Zero Dawn is a technical masterpiece that fully realises the amazing premise of primal tribesmen clashing with robot dinosaurs in a post post-apocalyptic world.
Horizon Zero Dawn is great game design wrapped up in one of the best AAA packages put out to date.
There is no doubt that the hype for Horizon Zero Dawn was real and that this is the must-have game right now for the PS4! This female-driven, third-person action-adventure game provides a brand new experience that is simply unmatched by others sharing the genre!
Even though it’s not without its issues, Horizon is an excellent title and a must have for all PS4 owners. It offers a refreshing open world environment, a compelling and mysterious story, a fantastic main character, and innovative gameplay. Not only is it one of the best action RPGs I’ve played in a while, it’s also one of the best games I’ve played in a while. Even now, after the credits have rolled, I’m still having a great time trying to fully complete the game. Horizon is a truly special experience, and it’s one that even non-RPG lovers need to have.
Go on a memorable sci-fi safari as you hunt down robotic big game.
Destroying large robot beasts while frantically switching between weapons is intoxicating, but the strength of Horizon Zero Dawn is in Aloy's engaging quest to find out who she really is.
Horizon Zero Dawn is gorgeous and innately playable, even if the open-world gameplay it presents will feel overly familiar to most. The port has some issues that will almost certainly get stamped out in short order and the gameplay has its fair share of frustrations, but anyone looking to stalk some robots will find plenty to like.
Horizon Zero Dawn is an action role-playing game where you, as main protagonist Aloy, a skilled hunter, explore a vibrant and lush world inhabited by mysterious mechanized creatures.
Despite suffering from a fair number of issues, Horizon Zero Dawn is a great open world game that largely delivers on its fantasy.
