    Love Horizon Forbidden West? Watch my Horizon Zero Dawn review here: • Horizon Zero Dawn Rev...
    Join Aloy as she braves the Forbidden West - a majestic but dangerous frontier that conceals mysterious new threats. Explore distant lands, fight bigger and more awe-inspiring machines, and encounter astonishing new tribes as you return to the far-future, post-apocalyptic world of Horizon.
    The land is dying. Vicious storms and an unstoppable blight ravage the scattered remnants of humanity, while fearsome new machines prowl their borders. Life on Earth is hurtling towards another extinction, and no one knows why. It's up to Aloy to uncover the secrets behind these threats and restore order and balance to the world. Along the way, she must reunite with old friends, forge alliances with warring new factions and unravel the legacy of the ancient past - all the while trying to stay one step ahead of a seemingly undefeatable new enemy.

    This is how you do a proper sequel. You take all the stuff that's good about the previous installment and you amplify it's strengths while also taking the story into a bold new direction that challenges the status quo but also not losing the passion and emotion that made the first installment so special. Some of the greatest sequels of all time have done this. I'm deep into the game's campaign and I can safely say Forbidden West follows in their footsteps. It's honestly becoming one of the greatest games I've ever played and one of the best sequels ever made.

    • @cirescythe

      Exactly. I know a lot of people were worried that Forbidden West might not be as good or even flop. But I can confidently say with all the hours I put in that Forbidden West definitely surpasses the original in every way. It's the next game but also it's _own_ game.

      It’s not talking to herself that’s frustrated, per se. It’s the fact that she repeats stuff, like, “that goes to my stash” over and over again, AND, she basically solves puzzles for you if you take longer than two minutes looking. Lol. A lot of us enjoy solving the puzzle, not going to a YT video to solve it for us. So, having our character solve it for us is frustrating.

      I hear they nerfed the stash and I don't know what you think you're insinuating but I just solve the puzzles in the first game. So I have no reference for this claim that she solves for you. But if that's the case. I kinda don't feel bad. The most taxing puzzle in the first game was from the Frozen Wilds and those never got hints.

    I am obsessed with Forbidden West. Been playing every day, several hours, and it still hasn't gotten old. Due to the ever expanding map, gear, and traversal options keeps it fresh. I killed a snapmaw last night that was floating in the ocean. After killing it, it sunk to the bottom. The visuals I got on the PS5 from it sinking, its armor busted off, and the ocean waves and currents moving around was immersive and spectacular.

    I did the exact same thing early on, where I did as much as I could of the first area. Honestly, it's a bit of a disservice to go that route - make sure you get into the real meat of the game, come back to a lot of that side stuff in the first area later. It's worth it! Otherwise, pretty much on every level I agree here (the water stuff was bomb though, I loved it) - I'm glad I went for just the Platinum and covered all the sidequests I could fine, but didn't scour every single last percentage point before my own review. I would've pulled my hair out, and I don't have much of that left to begin with. The Plat is honestly perfectly designed to me as a sampler, to encourage everybody to do everything once, do the important stuff in full, and then take your time doing whatever else you want without stressing about it for a trophy.
    That Jirard struggled after a full month to get that 100% makes me feel a bit better after giving up on doing 100% for my own takes on the game - I mean hell I had like three days lol, and for two of them the melee pits and arena just didn't load in!

    Re Aloy talking to herself:
    When I was a kid I went to a private school 20 miles away from where I lived. There were no kids my age on my street so I had no friends outside of school. I spent so much time alone (not unlike Aloy) I took to talking to myself probably just to break the constant silence. Luckily when I was 8 we moved and I went to a public school not far from home.
    I made lifelong friends and had a pretty good childhood from that point forward. That said the odd habit of talking to myself when performing a task at work or doing chores around my house hasn't left me. I find it helps me to stay focused on what I'm doing.

    I'm playing on PS4 Pro, and the game runs very smoothly. I prefer 60 fps in every single game that it's available, but the 30 is so solid, I honestly can't tell a difference. Nothing like the framerate in The Last of Us Remastered, where I felt a dramatic difference between the 60fps and 30fps options. And the game is absolutely gorgeous, and I bet base PS4 players will say similar things. Popin is an inevitability on all versions of the game, and it hasn't hurt my experience (and I've been extremely bothered by it in games before, probably due to the ADHD). I really liked the first game, but so far, I love this one.
    Edit: for reference, it's like the difference between Tomb Raider 1 and Tomb Raider 2.

If every 2022 release comes out as planned, then we’re gonna get God of War, Breath of the Wild 2, Kirby, LEGO Star Wars, that Harry Potter game, the Cuphead dlc, Silksong, the new FE warriors, Mario+Rabbids 2, Xenoblade 3, and probably like 10 more major releases that I can’t remember because this year is way too stacked. I’m just a filthy casual and even I’m daunted at the prospect of that many games. I do not envy your task this year Jirard. Godspeed and good luck

    Completed it today, liked it a lot. The errands were a bit bothersome but the main and sidequests were great. I REALY enjoyed the narrative in general and the performances of the cast. I did not expect to feel so involved at one specific moment!
    I also enjoyed the mix up off the cauldrons and the tallnecks, not just copy pasting them but making each somewhat individual.
    Edit: I also liked machine strike and the melee truly feels more engaged. I really enjoyed the combat a lot. Especially at the end game with stamina potions I just felt godlike which makes the grind worth something.

    This felt like the game Guerrilla wanted to make with HZD. One of the best sequels to a game I’ve ever played, the most beautiful, fleshed out, lively/immersive, and unique syfy stories ever. Horizon to me is such a breath of fresh air that reminds me why I love gaming. Even with HZD it came out at the perfect time during an era a soulless corporate shovel-ware that this genuinely original piece of art that’s also a AAA game really brought me hope and completely lived up to and exceeded my hopes for a sequel. Can’t wait for its concluding 3rd trilogy entry

    Nit: This is not the 3rd game to use the Decima engine. This is the 7th. Killzone: Shadowfall, Until Dawn, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, RIGS: Mechanized combat, Death Stranding, and both Horizon games.
    The fact that Kojima selected the Decima engine after meeting with almost all the 1st party Sony studios for use in Death Stranding should speak volumes to the quality of the engine.

    This is one of the greatest sequels in games I have ever seen come. And I am Atari/Nintendo gen beginner.
    I got Horizon a couple years ago, missing it (and BOTW) until this decade. And I loved it. This story was amazing. The gameplay was different from my norm. And it was a blast.
    So getting this one......it was on a completely different level. I played on the PS4, since finding a PS5 at a reasonable price is as difficult as finding meaning in a Paulie Shore movie.
    And despite the blackout screen.......it was fantastic. Absolutely amazing. I do not think I have ever seen a sequel truly improve on what was in such a massive way as Forbidden West did.
    As I finish my second playthrough, and head off for God of War/Eldin Ring......I say do not lose this game within the hype of the others. This one is worth every moment of time.

    I haven't ran into very many bugs. game crashed and had some slow down 2 times but restarting the game fixed it. Had two quests bug out in weird ways but they had done it to a bunch of other players as well and solutions had already been found to complete the quest. So far have 30 I think of 59 achievements in the game without to much of an effort. I don't normally get a lot of the achievements and these have been pretty straight forward and have gotten them just from playing the game and doing the side quests. A lot of the side quests bring you to the relics, or the drones etc along the way.

    Man, I can’t wait for the DLC and third instalment in this series. I originally bought Zero Dawn, sight unseen, knowing absolutely nothing about the game, for $20 back in 2019. Needless to say I’m happy with that decision. These games are some of the most fun I’ve ever had playing a video game. If anyone is on the fence about playing them, I’d say you should definitely try them out, I doubt you’ll be disappointed.

    I loved this game, just finished it a couple of hours ago and now I can finally watch your review!
    And as someone who is from Utah (I love that Zions, Moab, Bryce, Lake Powell are in these games) as well who spent a couple of years in Netherlands and learned Dutch and grew to love the Dutch culture and people, I feel a weird sense of pride of how Guerrilla has made such an amazing IP starting with ZD, and now FW.
    That being said, Jirard, in case you were wondering how to pronounce Mattiijs De Jong, it’s closer to Muh-ty-ss De Yong. I’m not sure if that will make sense, or if someone can add better input into how to pronounce it, feel free to add your expertise.
    You’re amazing Jirard, keep up the great work!
