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.

Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition has finally made its way to PC, and let me tell you: this game was worth the wait. Building on everything that made Horizon Zero Dawn special, Forbidden West feels like a massive leap forward in every way — from the story to the gameplay and especially the visuals. This Complete Edition also comes loaded with the Burning Shores expansion, adding even more depth and content to an already expansive game.Starting with the visuals: this is easily one of the best-looking games I’ve seen on PC. The world is simply stunning, with environments that range from lush jungles to arid deserts to shimmering coastlines, each packed with intricate details. The game makes fantastic use of lighting, particle effects, and high-res textures, creating a world that feels alive and dynamic. On a high-end rig, Forbidden West is breathtaking, but even on a more modest setup, the optimization is solid, and you’ll still get to enjoy the game’s beauty without too many ****, onto gameplay. Forbidden West improves on Zero Dawn’s already polished mechanics with more fluid combat, additional tools, and better AI. The variety of new machines Aloy encounters — each with unique behaviors, weaknesses, and attack patterns — keeps combat exciting and challenging. The new abilities, such as the Shieldwing glider and the Pullcaster grapple, open up exploration and combat in fresh, strategic ways. Whether you’re sneaking through tall grass or going head-to-head with a towering Thunderjaw, every encounter feels tense and **** story in Forbidden West is where the game truly shines. Aloy’s journey continues, delving deeper into the mysteries of the old world while introducing complex new characters and factions. This time, the stakes feel even higher, with narrative twists that kept me hooked. The side quests, too, are more fleshed out than in Zero Dawn, with characters and stories that feel meaningful rather than simple filler content. The Burning Shores expansion, included in the Complete Edition, is the perfect cherry on top, adding new areas to explore, tougher enemies, and a compelling story that ties seamlessly into Aloy’s **** with most big open-world games, there are occasional bugs and frame drops, especially in heavily populated areas, but overall, Forbidden West is impressively stable on PC. The controls feel responsive, and I was pleased to see plenty of customization options to tailor the experience to my **** summary, Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition on PC is a masterclass in how to do a sequel right. It takes the best elements of Zero Dawn and amplifies them, adding a richer story, more complex gameplay, and a world that feels even more alive. Whether you’re a veteran of Aloy’s first journey or a newcomer to the series, this edition is a must-play.

Eins der besten Spielee ever und das derzeit Schönste auf dem **** Lichteffekte und was so alles in der Luft rumfliegt, der Boden, vor allem alles an Gras, Moos und Pflanzen sieht besser, als in Reallife aus, so viel Farbkraft hat das echte Leben in der Natur nicht :DIch fand die Story mega gut, Aufbau, Umsetzung und Wendungen sind wirklich spitze!Zudem eine absolut perfekte Audio und dass Aloy generell öfters mit sich spricht, was sich dann so anfühlt, als würde sie mit dir sprechen, fühlt sich an, als wäre man ein Team, anstatt sie nur zu **** gibt auch Kommentare ab, wie "Hier kann ich gerade nichts machen, ich sollte später nochmal wiederkommen" wenn man zB auf eine Reliktruine zuläuft und einem noch ein Werkzeug fehlt **** Gameplay ist trotz der unzählig vielen Kombos verständlich und sorgt dafür, dass die Kämpfe nie langweilig werden. Normalerweise gehe ich Kämpfen irgendwann aus dem Weg oder laufe einfach weiter, aber hier hast du echt viele Spezial, Nahkampf- und Fernkampfangriffe, die man auch noch kombinieren **** DLC war kurz, von der Qualität aber sehr gut, grafisch etwas mehr als storytechnisch, dafür gab´s Gameplay-technisch nochmal eine Schippe drauf. Das einzig Negative waren für mich wieder die Brutstätten, das Springen ist dort dauernd eine Qual. Manchmal reicht es, einfach A oder D gedrückt zu halten, dann springt sie von alleine. Manchmal, springt sie erst, wenn man genau mittig auf das Sprungziel guckt. Manchmal muss man noch Leertaste drücken, damit sie abspringt. Manchmal trifft man die falsche Entscheidung und sie springt total bescheuert vom Objekt, dann darfst du nochmal bis dahin klettern UND manchmal klappt es mit keiner Sprungart, schaust ein Video, du willst es nachmachen und es klappt dann willkürlich immer so nach 1-3 Versuchen.Daher bitte auf eine Sprungart beschränken, sonst ertrage ich nur alle paar Tage eine Brutstätte.Ansonsten, hatte ich keine Bugs, das Spiel läuft ruckelfrei auf vollen Grafikeinstellungen, lediglich im DLC sind meine Frames nach der Cutscene mit der man ins Dorf kommt ca halb eingebrochen, das legte sich aber nach ein paar Metern.11/10

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.

Es un buen juego, no inventa mucho, pero lo disfrute bastante, la forma nueva de deslizarse por el mapa me parece una copia de Zelda Breath of the wild, pudieron inventar otra forma de desplazarse sin que se sintiera que estuviera jugando una copia de Zelda, el combate es el mismo que la primera entrega, pero de es disfrutable

One of most boring game I've ever played. Dropped it after a few hours because I wasn't having any fun. Graphics is gorgeous, but that's it. Everything else pales compared to any other of Sony's exclusive action adventure games. It baffles me why Sony seems to care so much about this franchise while neglecting games like Days Gone of Infamous which are miles better.

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"
