Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition is an incredibly polished PC port with all the bells and whistles you could possibly ask for. It looks and runs incredibly, with the ability to tweak visuals and performance to suit your device. Nixxes continues their perfect streak of ports, and this is a fantastic way to experience Aloy’s second adventure.
Horizon Forbidden West is the complete package across all aspects any player will care about. Stunningly beautiful, audibly beatific, challenging yet accessible, and frequently cinematic, I adored my time with Forbidden West the way I rarely do in any other game. Often, a game will excel in one area in particular and falter in others—and that’s okay. Here, I struggled to find criticisms to make, and the ones I did, while real, did not meaningfully impact the whole. If more AAA titles conducted themselves as such, I could see myself one day converting.

La verdad la gente que dice que es un mal juego les diria que lo jueguen de vuelta. Me parecio un juego fantastico tanto por graficos como historia (tienen que leer todos los textos para entender la historia) en conclusion un juego fantastica sin nada de envidiar a otros juegos.

It's a MUST-play game. It has it all. The graphics are beautiful, the combat is challenging and allows players to use different combinations and weapons, and the player defines if he wants a playthrough with easy or hard combat. The story is amazing, giving us an aspect of the possibility of future life on Earth. Last but not least, the DLC is awesome because it improves all the 3 topics I just mentioned (graphics, combat and story).
The only downside is the low framerate during cutscenes.
Great job on this one Gorilla!

Not many games in recent years have come up with something as thrilling as taking on massive robot monsters like you find here, and it’s a mark of how well it’s done in Forbidden West that every time you see one of those familiar flashes, you’ll feel your adrenaline start pumping as you draw your bow and arrow and take aim. Obviously, it’ll be even more fun if you have a PC that runs the game without any compromises. But even if you just want something for your Steam Deck, Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition delivers.
Guerrilla and Nixxes surprise us with a port that is not only very solid, but also offers options to give and give away. Undoubtedly, this is the best way to enjoy Horizon Forbidden West if you have a high-performance PC.
Horizon Forbidden West comes to PC with one of the best conversions in recent years: an extremely polished and careful work, which does not miss anything on the front of adjustments and support for the various upscaling technologies. All these elements combine to offer an extraordinary visual experience, substantially superior to its PS5 counterpart in terms of resolution at the same frame rate: a show of strength that cannot go unnoticed and will make you fall in love with PC gaming all over again.
Nixxes has come up with a quality, smooth flowing port that will make you forget the stumbles of Rift Apart.
Technically impressive but just not as fun or innovative as its predecessor.
Pros:
Combat is fairly good
Tons of activities
Not an inventory management game
Board mini-game - I'll give the developer credit, it's not easy coming up with a new concept board game. Not as good as gwent but still fun.
Flying Mount
Cons:
Tons of word vomit
Too much unnecessary wasted time (quests designed to waste time, opening doors, dumb combat animation)
Every quest and path are extremely linear
Weapons and weapon system could be much better
The game feels like a chore at a certain point
The optimization around the hunter pack items are poor and you don't end up using items most of the time.
The direction/compass system is trash
The tree house maze cities that are found mid to late game are terribly designed
No one wants to be crafting arrows 3+ times every hard fight, The limited ammo capacity, even when maxed out, is terrible
Melee combos
Variety of flying mounts

Graphically breathtaking, truly a sight to behold. I rarely take so many screenshots, this game is filled with beautiful vistas everywhere you go. Having played Zero Dawn though, this feels like a 1.5, with not much innovation over the previous entry. The grapple is useful to avoid wasting time.I don’t dislike the story, I like Aloy and Sylens. My main problem with it is that it feels childish, superficial. The story of the brave hero and a couple allies who save the world of impending danger where most of the population is childish and lives in the stone age. I feel like I’m treated like a child many times, and it gets boring and very repetitive. Aloy, just let me think about the puzzles, don’t make obvious unnecessary comments at every step of the way (this should be an accessibility option if needed). Ratchet & Clank may have similar vibes, but that is targeted at younger audiences so I’m fine with it. I’m sorry, but it is full of forgettable quests and characters. The main villains have barely any development if at all. You know you are going to fight them and that’s mostly it. I haven’t grown attached to any character, even Aloy feels more of the same.Gameplay/Combat feels like the first game, which is fine as I really liked it. I like identifying machines and countering them appropriately, using my bow to tear down components. My problem is that everything has grown bigger. One thing I don’t like is that some machines feel like sponges. Even if you destroy all of a Clawstrider’s components, it doesn’t die. Hell, it might even have half of its HP remaining. This goes against the game’s design intention imho and feels frustrating. We got many more elementals and weapon types, an enormous skill tree, weapon type specific special abilities that use stamina, special abilities… I have an issue with this (and many others) open world RPG progression. I’m happy buying a couple bows early, with different elementals that help me against the different machines I face. Then I like spending some time improving them on the go, until I go to the next trader and see that my weapons are already obsolete, even when upgraded. This is a slap in the face, it is so frustrating and disheartening. Am I wasting my time? Should I just go with whatever I find until late game weapons and then improve them? Why do I need 5 different bows? To cover the elementals? I haven’t found almost any purgewater bow, hell I don’t remember having even seen one. It's a horrible design, and the industry is plagued by it. I’d rather have Aloy’s bow, and be able to improve/modify it on the go. Here, I added a shock module. Here, I improved the string and now I can draw it faster…I hate it when a game tries to stretch itself, less but higher quality time is better! Nothing really stands out, it’s just good enough.

Changed main character to unsufferable, annoying person, that is non-stop commenting on every action you do (or might do) which makes every environmental puzzle pointless. There is no real story just "save the day for me... again"
