    Should you buy Horizon Forbidden West in 2023?
    Let me know if you’ve played Horizon Forbidden West yet and if so, what do you think of it? If you've not played it yet though, I definitely recommend it. For me Zero Dawn still stands a few inches taller than Forbidden West overall but a more than worthy sequel non the less.

    The gameplay is just top notch, i keep coming back to it even after 200 hours and two playthrough just to take down a few machines, nothing comes even close to it when it comes to the feel of battle once you fully master it.
    The story was the only dissapointing part for me as well as the fact that we got the ability to fly basically for endgame on first playthrough, the game felt amazing on new game plus with being able to take to the skies right away, but even then, i just literally walked through the world so much because its just that well designed and interesting to explore.

      That was my only gripe - having to wait til the story is almost over to get the Sunwing override. But agree the game is a wonderful place to just go around and explore and hunt and do every side mission even after the story is done.

    @HD_Simplicityy Před rokem +47

    Zero Dawn's gameplay was simple, yet really thrilling. Besides it being being a gorgeous game to play. The story and the lore took time to grow on you. But, when it really opened, up... it was great. So fascinating. As for Forbidden West, the combat is still super fun. Overcomplicated at times, but really enjoyable. The story wasn't nearly as good. The second half it does get more fascinating. But it relies on the cliches of "remake the world in their own image", "esacpe from another rogue AI that destroyed their land", and "killing off a character that had not nearly enough time to develop" far too easily. And the secondary antagonists are pretty one note. While they do add to the background of the game. Literally you can take the backstory of the first game - the old world and the AIs - copy and paste their stories and flip them around. It relies on that so much that it weakens the story. Not to mention the game juggles three antagonists. That was unecessary. As a writer, I would have rewritten parts of it. Not a "bad' story; it has some good moments. Overall a fractured story with pacing issues, and uses cliches easily.

    Ok so I JUST started playing this game about a month ago and I’m hooked. I just beat the main story yesterday and I don’t think I’ve done half of what’s out there, this game this world is massive and beautiful. I just downloaded Burning Shores dlc and will start that shortly. But my fav thing to now is just get a Sunwing and fly around the map, and sometimes hop off glide down and kill a ravager for no reason lol flying made this game infinitely better. Looking forward to Horizon 3.

    the gameplay, art, visuals and open world is amazing. I just hated the fact that it took me forever to upgrade purple and legendary armor/weapons. And the main quests happened so fast that i was like “bruh this cant be the ending already?” And i hated the fact that we got the sunwing near the ending. I got to enjoy it for so little and seeing the world flying was so differently better. I give it a 8/10

    To people considering to try the game and see so many comments about the story being "okay", you have to keep in mind that ZD had the advantage of being a unique and original concept combining the feel of past and future in a surprising way. This time around, it didn't have that advantage of surprise, we already knew why the world is this way, we were familiar with the setting. Even so, there were so many moments in FW's story where I was mind blown. It's a perfectly executed story that finds other ways to keep players interested, and introduce twists and reveals, don't you worry. And if you do end up playing it, which I think you should, don't sleep on the side missions! They have a lot of depth and overarching plots that feel like main ones both in length and in quality. For those that HAVE played the game, what were your favorite moments? [Slight spoilers] Personally I loved the first long chat with Beta, about how she was treated, Tilda and the paintings, and the fact that we're not talking about descendants. And also the whole Faro/Gemini questline was amazing.🤠

      It’s also because with Zero Dawn, Guerilla made it on a whole new engine: the Decima engine.
      Zero Dawn was the first game to use it, & Forbidden West was going to be an improvement over it after Guerilla fully understood how the engine worked, especially since Kojima also used it for Death Stranding.

    I've finished Horizon forbidden west recently, and wow, was I blew away.
    It was one of my most anticipated games for 2022, and the fact that I finished it very quickly is a testament to how good it is.
    However, it's not without its issues. Let's start with the positives. The combat system is very improved, and the additions of the spears are very welcomed for me. The new mechanics literally improved everything that I thought about the series. I couldn't go without them anymore. The world is pretty huge and beautiful, even on PS4.
    However, where I have critiques is with the story because I don't know what happened at the end. I thought it was very rushed for some reason, and I do think that if they had more time, the game would have been a 9.5 out of 10.
    Still, it's an outstanding game, and I enjoyed every bit of it.

    I have about 250 hours in the game and have never once used a vertical trap.
    Also to the point about audio, they still haven't fixed the bug where you lose parts of it and either characters, the music or even weapon effects go silent. It was a bug in the original, it's present in the other game with the Decima engine - Death Stranding, and it's even more pronounced in Forbidden West.

    My huge issue with this game is the inventory. It's ridiculous. The amount of stuff you need to continually complie and craft into ammo. It just felt way less streamlined from Zero Dawn to the point it just felt clutterd now. I loved Zero Dawn but once the Zenniths showed up the story lost me 😂.

  • @mravg79
    @mravg79 Před rokem +8

    I got it for 20eur 6 months after release (ps4 version), played a bit and it landed on a shelf.
    I thought Zero Dawn was very good. I simply liked the game play loop in which we developed the character into killing machine.
    But here again we have a very slow start, when the game opens up a bit it gets a bit better but again there is this push towards the main missions (at least at the beginning). What put me off is that Aloy articulates each and every thought out loud.
    So we have at the beginning a tower to climb, instead of let player do this in their own pace Aloy after 15 seconds tells player what to do. What is a point of this? Sure if some players do not want to spent time on figuring it out give a hint system, but for others let them play and figure out things on their own. Or at least give the option to turn of this annoying hints.
    So back to the tower to climb instead of being a fun traversal puzzle like element it was more like QTE where instead of button prompts player is informed what do next. This one took a lot of enjoyment from the game for me. It is one thing if character mention something like “should I do (main mission name) or maybe (side mission name)” to remind the player about what are some goals of the game. But character constantly talking about what to do now is just annoying and takes some of the control from player.
    I have a few games I want to finish first but I will play Forbidden West this year, that is the plan at least.

    Forbidden West is absolutely amazing but I’m struggling with the combat - it feels over-tuned. I don’t remember getting one-shotted this much in HZD. Knocking off parts takes far longer and enemies take forever to put down. I’m playing Wo Long now, too, and that game’s a cakewalk compared to this.

    • @SmilingScythe
      @SmilingScythe Před rokem

      Personally I found HFW way more forgiving than HZD. I found it was a necessaty to have the Weaver Armor (Blocks any one Hit and recovery after a certain time) in HZD in Ultrahard difficulty as everything was just a one shot, while in HFW (also on Ultrahard) you would still be able to tank multiple hits as the game lets you top off your health bar over the max HP amount with potions and maschines felt like they dealt less damage in general. Furthermore health berries are more abundant and you can have 3 times the amount than in HZD.
      Though I must say that the hitboxes in HZD felt more natural. In HFW the machines were constantly sliding (no movement animations Just sliding) towards your position when you already dodged twice over out of their visually indicated Attack range.

    Idk I like the first one better so far… level 20 atm. It’s not flowing right or something. And I appreciate the fact that they threw every possible idea into this game, it’s over tedious for no reason. Traps and trips are a lot of work for no real reward. During a fight it’s either triple notch arrows or heavy spear attacks for the win. Plants are stuck under things and you can’t get them. There’s a trillion freakin rocks everywhere, just annoying. The first one you could do things out of order with no real problem but now it jacks things up. I’m slowly falling out of love with it. Contracts? No thanks.. wildlife is less fun to hunt imo. Battles now entail everything in a 50 mile radius to gang bang you.

    • @theodomon2774
      @theodomon2774 Před rokem +2

      That's very untrue. Everything you state is either already there in ZD or was changed for a reason. Plants under the ground and glitches were very present in ZD, wildlife hunting was never really fun and is actually slightly better in FW, the battles entail surrounding enemies depending on the difficulty level just like in ZD.
      All weapons (including traps, tripcasters, etc.) were nerfed and are harder to use but this balances the gameplay by pushing the players into using most of their arsenal, while in ZD you could quickly settle on one weapon by stocking it with ammo or placing 50 tripwires to kill any machine instantly. It feels frustrating at first, but when you start to understand how everything can work together it feels great. The melee system is also very much improved.
      I understand that you don't like the game or that you like ZD better and that's fine, but it's probably because the love you felt for the first game was not very rational and you're seeing it better as it really was (and I loved the hell out of that game aswell lol). I felt the same at first but if you take some time to think about everything, you'll see that FW is pretty impressive.

    Enjoyed your video. I am totally blow away by these games. Forbidden west on PlayStation 5 is so beautiful. Aloy is a beautiful character and the graphics and cut scenes are very impressive. But for me it's the movement of the main character, she is so easy to control and the bow is so beautiful to lock on and hit the target. Yes Forbidden west is a wonderful game experience. Steve 👍

    It depends what type of gamer you are. This game is not for the casual gamer in the slightest but the hardcore.
    This game will require you to invest thoroughly in its story and lore to appreciate it. The conbat is fun but the story for me was incredibly lack luster to the point i had to for myself through the last third of the game. This game would've been a hubdred times better if it just trimmed the fat but for some thats just more of a reason to dive in.

    The DLC was an absolute chore to get through, the writing was the worst this franchise has ever seen. They went so woke that even Aloy is intolerable now. In the first installment she was great, but don't even get me started on her new side kick, I just wanted to throw her off a cliff. I just ended up fast forwarding every cut scene and was stuck in bushes spamming explosives in every battle. I never had the room to use the best weapon, the Jai-Lai sling. Every robot would cover the distance before my projectile returned to me. In the end, after hitting them with a freeze or fire arrow you just pull out your grenade sling-shot and spam away, followed by an immersion breaking search for blast paste.

Loved it so much. It's on sale on PS store right now. Might have to grab it…

The sequel did atleast let me use a spear this time, i still think its stupid to fire arrows crafted from wooden sticks, string and metal shards is what we use to fight machines.

    Just my opinion.. but I derive absolutely no satisfaction fighting machines/droids/robots etc. The very same way I got turned off in gears of war when we went from fighting these hellish, creepy underground creatures to fighting... well.. Baird's microwaves that were given guns.. and in Halo where we went from fighting an entire collective of aliens with their own agenda, hatred for humans, personal ambitions, history and honor.. to fighting... teleporting robot things with no personality.. like the difference between fighting another warrior vs a swarm of bees or something. Idk. It just feels cliche and lazy

    I loved HZD, but this one, I dropped. All guys are simps, all women are constipated strong, Aloy is an insufferable chosen one who can't be helped to save the world, but risks her life to fetch any random ring (oh, and everybody is in love with her) , formulaic tribes (mother tree, great sky, ooga ooga spirits), and the grinding to upgrade a simple bow... the bone of a specific rat, the wing of a specific bird... looks like an mmo. The spandex suit cliche villains were particularly awful... no story, no engagement. Sad, really.

    • @exschweizer
      @exschweizer Před rokem

      Yeah same. This game is packed with just everything and thats the problem: you can craft, get skillpoints, get new moves, climb and glide, BUT pretty much everyone of these new mechanics isnt really thought through:
      the crafting is just plainly useless. by the time you have the ressources you already have better armor/weapons
      The Skillpoints are meh, I didnt really had a moment where i was like "i really need that skill!" you can easily go through the game without once opening the skilltree
      the new moves (mainly close combat) are again pretty useless. Yes its an improvement but its also not hard to improve close combat of Zero Dawn.
      the climbing he mentioned a little bit in the video: Yeah, you can climb pretty much everything with the exeption of storyrelevant places. there you still gotta wait for that one ladder or find that one hookable spot or whatnot. If you decide to go "everything climbable" then do it right like Zelda Breath of the Wild did. Either all or nothing, but dont pretend to do it just for the critics.
