Horizon Forbidden West Review - Open World Masterclass

- Horizon Forbidden West is special. I've spoken at length about so much of what makes this such a memorable and unique experience, but there's still so much more than sets it apart from the crowd- so much that is best experienced first hand, and as such, is best left unspoiled.
The gist, of course, remains the same- Horizon Forbidden West is an impressive achievement that improves upon its predecessor in almost all the ways that it should have, and brings together all of its strengths in a sweeping, memorable adventure. - Hry
Elden Ring, Forbidden West, Grand Turismo 7.
Great times. The years of engineering, efforts, trials, we've reached a new milestone. Wow.
All originally thought to be made for the next gen consoles but because of the shortages are now downgraded to run on the last gen
Don't forget sifu
God of war
You’re forgetting FORSAKEN. Even though you purposely left it out, that game looks absolutely fucking stunning.
@@crimsonstargaze8432 for a ps4 game
I had about 50% completion on HZD for months. I just wasn't that into it, but all the reviews of HFW said you need to play the first one to really get the second. I just finished it abt an hour ago. My God I think its my favorite story ever in a game. Finding out what Project Zero Dawn really was blew my brain into little pieces. Such an intelligent story. So hyped for FW now
I did the same thing the first time I played it as well. Then I saw that HFW was coming out and so I decided to go back to it and I found out how truly amazing the game was
Same for me! When i first got it i okayed abouf half and then just left the game. Buf i replayed in a few months ago and zero dawn aged like fine wine
Same for me, I've never been so shocked by a story before and it's my favourite ever
I bought it on PC and didnt play for few months but when i finished it i immediately started the game again on higher difficulty because of amazing story moments.
Ive only played about half of the first game. Just cant get engaged at all. The main character is so boring and one dimensional.
Holy…..
Hell…..
This game looks INSANE. That Decima engine is a force to be reckoned with, paired with the incredible talent at Guerrilla. The next 4 days are gonna be torture
and that's cross platform...
@@abrahamhamdan6578 My god... imagine it wad built from the ground up for the ps5...... I don't think reality would really look as good aftet that lmfao...
you think 4 days is going to be torture??? imagine waiting for the PC drop watching PS4/PS5 assholes get to play it for probably a whole year or 2 before we do. even tho the PC port was leaked and was almost assuredly going to happen eventually since thats what happened with HZD, this wait is going to be EXCRUCIATING
@@Ben-rz9cf yeah. I agree, that’s far worse.
@@Ben-rz9cf Yeah calling console players asshole because they experience a game before you is childish af.
the Decima engine is absolutely insane...
We got halo.
@@Invincible-Under-the-Sun Ha
@@Invincible-Under-the-Sun ok? go play it then.
@@Invincible-Under-the-Sun should have said "We have Crossfire X", at least the campaign is much superior to Halo campaign.
@@Invincible-Under-the-Sun spider man dlc is longer than halos campaign 😂
10/10! Finally a score this game deserves.
@Ten O So far having watched several reviews and having played the first and loved it. I would say 9-10/10 is the consensus for the sequel. I think it's fair at this point to have high expectations, and if you enjoyed the first you probably will enjoy the sequel. Almost every review I have watched has touched on the same complaints and issues graphically. So 10/10 reviews doesn't mean perfect but excellent in its delivery.
How do you know it deserves 10/10 if you haven't played it?
@Ten O If you didn't enjoy the first, I am not sure that you will enjoy this. It's okay to have your own game style that you enjoy.
It's still going to be open world and if you don't like those mechanics it's not going to change them, just make improvements on variety and certain design aspects from what I have read/watched.
For me I loved almost everything from the first and am pretty sure I am going to love almost all of the second. (When and if it hits PC) I learned with GTA4 not to trust reviews that say 10/10 and play games and stories I actually wanted to play. Not saying that game isn't a 10/10 just that I didn't like it.
@Ten O The quality of the sidequests was indeed an issue that held the first game back. From what I've seen in reviews, I'm looking forward to the improvements Forbidden West has made in that area.
can't wait for this horizon game to come out been waiting for this time for a long time and it's finally almost here the game really looks amazing can't wait to play it on ps5 it looks like im gonna be putting a lot of hours in this game it's fire i went with the digital edition.
I have never been so excited about a sequel then I am for forbidden west, I just played and beat zero dawn for the first time about a month ago and it is a masterpiece! These other companies need to take notice on this game and what makes a video game great! Which is beautiful scenery, great weapons with great combat, and a great story to sandwich in and all of the sudden you can’t put your controller down! Two things that were in zero dawn that I was hoping they approved on was the traversing up mountains and melee combat which looks like they improved on both so this game should be another classic and great game to play!
Did you finished Frozen Wilds too?
If not I recommend it for the next 4 days!
I remember being extremely excited for Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty when I was a kid. It was palpable.
@@skywalkies77 yes I beat frozen wilds also which was a great addition to HZD!
@@anthony4553 Niiiice! Was so cool
This was awesome to read. It was Vice City for me, but just hearing people's stories remind me of that exciting feeling.
This is one of the best games I’ve ever played. Honestly, I don’t know how you improve on this game. Without a doubt is the prettiest game in video game history. 10/10
This game looks gorgeous. I know this game has lots of quality and amazing gameplay with rich story. With that being said for me personally I never got into the first one. I don’t know what it is. Maybe I’m not into gameplay that focuses on ranger attacks. I was also a in your face melee/sword type of player when it came to action adventure rpg games. Maybe it’s also the machine aspect of the game. Idk. I wish I was more eager to play this because the game just looks beautiful. I guess you just can’t force yourself at times.
I can hardly wait for this game it’s going to be really awesome and tons of fun
This game is a beast! I have 27hrs in & only 11.5% completion!!! You get stuck doing so much stuff just trying to complete 1 mission!! …it’s crazy…if your an explorer…this game will have you stuck for months…maybe even a year or 2. I’m just starting to really enjoy it…it’s massive & can feel overwhelming at times. But just keep playing…the light bulb will click on 😄😄😄
I cannot belive this game is finally arriving. I don't remember the last time where I was so exicted for game. 😃
Same
Me too!!
My only preorder games this year are Forbidden west and Elden ring and maybe GOW if it coming 2022.
Same and it completely surpassed my expectations… literally everything I could’ve asked for out of the sequel and then some
Finally finished HZD few days back and was mindblown. Super excited to get my hands on this next!
This Friday it come out & I can't wait. My favorites are the striders & the tall necks.
I ❤️ the way this man breaths through his nose in between sentences. So satisfying.
At least some are giving it the praise it deserves. A lot of the time I see a sequel come out that is bigger and better in every way that the first, but gets around the same score, or worse. I think some of it is unreasonable expectations from reviewers. It seems a sequel needs to not only improve on the first game, but be damn near perfect in every way to get the respect it deserves.
Great Review Bro, Really looking forward to this game. Knew it would be Game Of The Year Quality 😎👍
I actually used melee a lot I Hzd, and so happy they worked to improve melee in HFW. Hope those talents are interesting
This is one of the best reviews. Indeed the game deserves a 10 out of 10.
Really fun game man, improved upon Horizon Zero Dawn, the graphics are stunning , the open world is gigantic and a joy to explore, it’s my personal showcase game for the PS5’s graphics and my pick for game of the year 👏👏👏👏 Still enjoy exploring the open world after getting the platinum, it’s the type of game you can explore the world for hours 🙌
Glad Jon Kline did the voice work for this review, great work!
I'm even more ecstatic to play this now! A perfect 10!
According to this reviewer... The overall consensus from all of the main review sites is that this game doesn't improve on any aspects of the original enough to deserve a higher score. 89 vs. 89.
When even more review scores are posted the number will drop even lower... In the future when we look back at how this series has progressed, it will likely be remembered as a good game - not a great game.
Shame.
@@3mileisland516 ahh shutup it looks way better than the first which was amazing
@@TzsNatureWithJameelFar I agree it looks way better. I just don't understand why the reviews don't reflect that. I was expecting an improvement across the board!
@@3mileisland516 they do go watch ign review
@@TzsNatureWithJameelFar I will do. But you've got to admit it's a bit sad that a couple of troll reviews for this game have dragged the game's review average down to a disappointingly low level. It would have been nice to see a metacritic score that reflected the games improvements, rather than making the game look like nothing has changed since Zero Dawn.
Great Review man couldn't agree more
I so can't wait to play this game. I am replaying the first game.
PLEASE TELL ME! That there os a ton of new machines that we haven't seen yet (but u have) I hope there is a lot more!!!!!!!
I am so hyped!!!!
Ok I have been a fan and supporter of IGN since I was a kid in the 90's however this review blows any of theirs out of the water, you did amazing, super detailed, gave us a ton of information without spoiling the game.
Agreed 🔥. As well I don’t feel like there is any criticism on games on IGN. They always are like: 9 out of 10! Even with the worst games. Gaming bolt however actually does talk about the weak parts of a game. And I really appreciate that.
What a great review. 👍
I tried watching ACG's review., but he's like watching an 80's micro machines commercial while trying to make cutesy pop-culture analogies......ugh....gives me a headache.
Thank you for keeping it simple. 👍
I don’t really know any other games out right now that look this good.
Demons souls. Nothing else comes close
Preordered this and Sifu.
Super excited to play the sequel now, despite the few technical issues. I just wonder is it possible to unlock every skill from all 6 skill trees, like it was possible I Zero Dawn??
Probably. I agreed with the reviewer about a lot of upgrades not being necessary. I maxed out everything in HZD, but didn't really need them (or use them).
Totally agree, Quality over quantity, GamePass being the ultimate example of this
Gamepass is also the ultimate value in gaming. Yeah there's a lot of misses that you don't need to play, but let's not shrug off how great the service is because fanboyism.
Lmao seethe snoyboy fanboy
A festival of amazing graphics and cinematic experience 😎👍
Reviews are seeming to be really positive. Makes me even more excited!!!!
Really want to play this. But find it hard to stick with big open world games these days.
Great review...very indepth! This was like reading the manual but more fun :) Do people even read manuals anymore though...lol. Great job on your video :)
Okay.....having old school Assassin's Creed inspired climbing jank sounds......kind of fantastic? Am I crazy?
The masterpiece ❤️

not really
@@pessiescobar4707 Oh ok, we won’t get it then. Thanks
@@pessiescobar4707 keep staying salty. Even sifu is amazing. You just have shit taste 👍
Preordered this and Sifu.
I disagree about the melee tree, even though when I first started I didn't think I'd really use it. But it improves things like critical strikes on downed/stunned enemies. And the resonator blasts can be a life saver, especially against tough yet very mobile human enemies
The Critical Boost and Melee Might valor surges are very impactful.
does anyone know where i can find videos of aloy flying
Elden Ring was my first pick in February but after all this reviews its not even close. I am hyped af for maybe this Masterpiece.
If that's the case you aren't an actual souls fan. No pretty game can take away Elden rings spot at the top. Guerilla games has a history of making meh games. From has never
@@tywins3669 sorry i hurt ur feelings and i never said iam a soulsfan..
@@tywins3669 dark souls 2 was a meh at best game.
@@tywins3669 probably the weirdest comment i have ever read
1) They can play any game they want, the fact that they wanted ER doesnt mean they arent allowed to play anything else
2)From has absolutely made a lot of bad games, you just never knew coz they werent popular but if you search froms history pre demon souls you will discover a lot of meh games
@@tywins3669 Armoured core?😆
great review guys!
I'm nervous as hell, excited as hell
*Let's fucking gooo!!!*
Can someone tell me if they mention about the dualsense haptic feedback please?? I don’t want to get spoiled about the game just want to know about the haptic feedback
From what I've seen in reviews, it's great.
Look forward to pc release. First game was impressive
It's so good. If more people had a PS5 I bet it would be more well received. It took me a month to work up to buying it on a PS4 Pro.
I want this so bad but am stuck having to wait as I have to send the 5 in for repairs finally.. soon as I get another one this is the first game I’m buying!! Hopefully by then they iron out any bugs and add a lot of QOL changes.
Can you tell us the name or anything about that Bat- like creature -7:14, I had seen few materials and it is first time I see it.
Dreadwing if I remember correctly
@@kalamies. Thanks you a lot.
7:20 how sick does that Fire Hunter Bow look!??!!
Can't wait to play this on my future gaming PC years from now. 😄
Can't wait when it comes out on pc absolutely loving zero dawn
Swimming looks absolutely stunning 😍
I enjoyed HZD, but something about it just didn't pull me in like other PS exclusives do. But this game looks fucking incredible. I already know I will spend countless hours just exploring those beautiful environments. Definitely taking my sweet time with this one.
Goddammit! Seen a few new machines in this review I wished I hadn't until I play it. My god, a BAT!
Now that its release is days away, I'm surprised by how hyped I am lol. HZD was a very solid game and one of my favorites of the past few years. I can't wait to dive into the Forbidden West.
My God just look at this, it's absolutely beautiful! Sony playstation just put out quality!
This, dying light 2, elden ring
What a great start
Perfect 10. Thanks GamingBolt.
What is max lvl, I hope its more than 50?
Did they say what this footage was captured on? PS4 maybe. I have this on ps5 and it looks wayyyyy better than what they are showing. I have it set to 4K on CZcams. Just looks blurry.
I heard this game has a story mode easy so that what I'm going to start with I didn't finish the first game
Looks like a great time
Well I think the day one patch should pretty much will fix all this kinks out considering the day one patch is 8 GB in size!
I knew this game would be incredible. It was second most anticipated game behind ragnarok. I gotta finish dying light 2 so I can devote all my attention to this
Same but hey take your time...enjoy each master piece...we've got a quiet summer ahead before the winter releases pour in
@@mr.mentesh8130 After HFW I'm really only interested in Ghostwire Tokyo, Stray, and maybe Ragnarok (The Helheim boss beat me in GOW, so may not get Ragnarok!)
Gamepass gamepass gamepass. After I finish sony exclusives, it's back to gamepass.
@@Ice9kills78 might want to ask mummy to buy you these games then kiddo. Ps wins 8 yrs straight 😎👌
Same here I’m still in the first area on Dying light 2 still haven’t figured out who killed the leader of the PK so I’ll be catching up till summer lol
So excited but wanna wait to get PS5 and this be my first game for it.
Might be a good choice to wait actually, because if they release dlc for it then there may be a Director's Cut version they'll release soon that'll bundle the dlc. That's just my two cents though, it could happen since Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima both had those releases.
Finally sees a 10 score review.
New machine at 7:10. Hadn't seen that before in any of the trailers except this one
Looks like a Giant Bat
It Was In Story Trailer
I Have Seen This Everywhere
@@nextbigthingthebeastincarn7216 looks like I missed it. Looks cool nonetheless
It's back! The narrator that sound have no desire to do his job!! Good game! 15:23.
Many reviewers have said I went hard on the arrow upgrades! Well yeah, that's the only real way to do combat in this game, seems like LOTS of people will default to that skill tree
Thts the first thing I will do.. arrows then side quest..I love them
I actually ended up making melee and ranged the main 2 trees that I upgraded first. Melee is busted with alot of the smaller-mid sized machines. Heavy attack will usually knock them down first hit, then the critical strike finishes them off. It was my go too when I got surrounded. Melee is useless against the bigger things of course but for some reason humans were like a middle ground. Ranged and melee didn't both were slow against them.
@LWKGD I'll keep this in mind when I start my campaign. Thanks!
I really need to beat this first one im about halfway thru.
Have the increased inventory capacity? That defeated me on my first attempt.
There’s a stash feature now that helps solve that. Instead of filling up your inventory, extra items go to your stash now. Basically an item box, from what I understand.
All my time gonna be heavily invested in this game
It's as long as the first game? Will it have dlc?
longer than the first by some 4-6 hours in the main story, but way longer in quest and such
Considering HZD did in the Frozen Wilds I'd imagine so yes of course tha tlargely may well depend on how well it's recieved. Zero Dawn was recieved well on both PS and PC if Forbidden West continues tha ttrend then it likely will get DLC
Please anyone who has played it on ps4 should help me, is it stable enough to be wort the purchase.
Never used MELEE? lol sounds like you should vary your play style some. In the first game I HEAVILY relied on melee especially in stealth killing, as well as the traps and bow skills. Gotta upgrade it all!
7:14 Nice shot 🤗
I wonder what dlc will get
MP
I just started playing the first day today and I love it so it's going to be a while before I play the second game. I actually prefer this over dying light 2.
I literally pre ordered the game before release day lmao! I'm that excited for this game and idgaf paying full price, it's my first time pre ordering a game, never liked the idea pre ordering but I'm just really that excited for this game!
Hope this comes to pc
Thank God there's no multiplayer component. Hopefully, most of the bugs are ironed out. I still expect a day 1 patch of some sort.
Absolutely totally Very Impressive Game The Open World Looks Spectacular Horizon Forbidden West is Going To Be a Winner Game Review Was Wonderful Keep Up The Good Work
Wow
@@gamemannoob Yes 👍 WoW Thanks
Music in this game is fuego
I don't know who you are, narrator man, but you are a generational upgrade for Gaming Bolt.
It’s the best open world game I’ve ever played. The story and characters are so well crafted ❤️
Ashly Burch is amazing.
Decima does it again... Game of the year material
They better have a dynamic HUD like GOW.
I didn't buy Ghosts of Thusima because they forced yellow dots on the hud when it was on "off" SMH. Beauty deserves the spotlight, not a cluttered hud.
Now now, let’s be reasonable Dan with a hole in his sock.
I think the first one had dynamic hud
That’s gotta be the dumbest reason for not getting Ghost of Tsushima. Your missed out on an incredible game.The HUD has zero interference with the game. As a matter of fact, the HUD is practically non existent. The only way to get a sense of direction is to follow the spirit wind. What “yellow dots” are you talking about?
It looks awesome with the PC Pre-Rendered cut scene... When the game gives you back control for your character it looks crap.
Wow! I hope i get to play it on PC in few years!
Am I the only one that remembers the create job function in the first game, this is the second video I’ve watched that acts like it’s new
Yeah I remember it, it was a really useful system. But some people just miss it 😪
Yeah, it was in the first game. It's been improved in this game though to include many other jobs you can create, and when you actually create that 'job' it highlights where to find the materials and highlights what you're looking for in a different colour. If you're looking for a rabbit, that rabbit will be purple for instance.
Its in hfw
help me understand this. You say that the melee is a little better but still not great. Then you say that you didn't level the skill tree because you weren't interested in the melee part of the game.
How would you know how good the melee is or isn't if you didn't level the ability?
Good review.
This the issue with reviews you have to spend time with game to give a good review.
@@John-996 That or explain that you didn't level the ability so there for you can't give a proper opinion on that skill.
Good catch
I really like this game, but I have a major issue with the restrictions on traps. In Zero Dawn, you were allowed to set as many traps as you wanted, as long as you had them in your inventory. Forbidden West unnecessarily restricts the amount of traps you can set at one time, despite there being a whole tree dedicated to the trapper playstyle. Sure, you can unlock skills to increase the amount of traps you can set, but only up to 4. I think this is a terrible decision, especially if you are going to allow people to choose that playstyle. Why restrict traps? It doesn't even make sense why Aloy wouldn't be able to set as many traps as she can carry. I loved setting up an entire perimeter of traps in Zero Dawn and just watching all the machines just get blown away. I also don't like that you set off your own traps too, and that they automatically detonate after a certain amount of time. You also can't take them down without deconstructing them entirely. All the changes to traps are for the worse in my opinion, as someone who enjoys that playstyle. Any other trappers feel my pain?
7:16 new machines WAOW
10/10 oh yes, can't wait for Friday to come ❤️
enjoying the game so far but jumping onto elden ring once it comes out in a few days.
Lux sik mon!
GamingBolt. Are you in the game industry
I guess were going to have to wait for the PC version to get a real graphics upgrade
Yeah because those graphics aren't good enough huh! 🤣 have fun with crossfire x
@@jjovi796 looks basically the same as the pc version of hzd 1, sucks its a cross gen game. Could have been so much better if they didnt have to hold back to support PS4
Imagine how will part 3 look like Ps5 only game
This game was what I bought my Ps5 for. 😁😁
Me too 😁
hope it's worth it.
