do not expect for something new, even though it utilize UE5 for graphics, it is still the same oblivion under it

and that is why its perfectly flawed and fun game

underrated game, good combat

a relaxing game after a long and tiring day

One of the best level design in a video games....

you know its a great game, just buy it!

+GOTY 2018

+very good port

+mouse and keyboard controls

This game is wonderful (if it works for you)

Running at 1440p, ultimate settings, average of 80 to 90 fps

Horizon Zero Dawn is one of the best PS exclusive game,
the story is great, its flintstone with machines, it is weird at first
but exploring the lore and the story, everything does make sense

The gameplay is pure awesomeness and action pack, I am playing using
keyboard and mouse for better archery controls

Each enemies have weaknesses and strength, there is always a better
way of dealing each machine type but it would also depends on your play style

There is a grind in the game, but the rewards for grinding are worth it

facial animation of the base contents are bland, but in the frozen wilds its amazing


play it at ultra hard for better experience, you will feel the danger of the wild machines

(edit)
After 90hrs I had 100% the game, I had experienced only three crashes, first two crashes happened when im exiting the game so its a win-win situation, and the last crash I encountered is when I am playing for 4hrs straight in new game+, the location is at Maker's End....

+Very Relaxing Game
+High clarity graphics
+Nostalgic for players of the original
+inspiring and cute for new players
+change of pace from the over saturated genre and concepts of AAA games
+very good pc port (typing names using keyboard, 11hrs as of writing without issue encountered in game)
+ds4 controller supported

-launch configuration tool is on japanese by default (i had to use an augmented translator to navigate the langauge and change to english)


*15 yrs ago I had played the Back to Nature in Ps1 and Friends of Mineral Town in GBA
everything seems so simple back then...
playing this game brought back the child in me, I am so happy and thankful for the developers

feels like blood money but with beautiful graphics
+high replay value
+serious game with funny elements
+flexible difficulties from easy to very difficult
+amazing stealth mechanics for stealthy players
+++homing throw-able weapons

-story: "meh"
-standard edition feels like a dlc of the Hitman 2016

*never played the 2016 version so the Gold Edition is really worth it

+looks good at first
+plenty of equipment choice plus transmogrification of their looks
+different choices and outcomes
+sea battle
+fun exploration at first

story: cant comment, i didnt finish the main story

-very very grindy
-enemy level scaling is always on, there is a light scaling option but i want totally off (like ac origins)
-character level progression feels like a tedious chore
-feels so repetitive
-spongy enemies
-no shield equipment
-micro transactions (maybe this is the reason of the grindy gameplay?)
-it gets boring

summary: i got bored of the game :( i dont recommend it because of the direction it is going

i love rpg games, especially skyrim witcher 3, but this game doesnt give the engaging factor i need
