Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition Hits - PlayStation 4

Man... I recently purchased this for my PS 5 after playing it some years ago on the PS 4. They re-engineered the game FOR PS 5 without adding to the exclusive capabilities, but honestly SOOO few games are using those capabilities yet you don't really miss it when you compare it to most of the other new PS 5 RPG type games. In fact, especially vis a vis story and visuals, it compares QUITE favorably with most of the "new" games developed for PS 5.The story line is engaging, the visuals are really good though the discerning eye will notice the (albeit slight) degradation from the textures and dead-on accuracy that some of the newer releases have. The game mechanics are very good, it has an excellent balance between the open-world content and the story-line specific stuff such that one doesn't distract much from the other, it's just a REALLY well thought out game that's put together well and plays well. I only rented it back then, it's available for such a great discount, and it's NOT one you're going to finish in a few hours. It does keep you coming back to it.One fascinating reality is that the AI in this game causes the mechanoid characters to "evolve" over time, depending on how you play against them. Very smart, and it causes an interesting challenge. They might become tougher if you just beat them down at first, but they won't evolve better detection capability, or the other way around IF you used a lot of stealth to avoid them in the early play of the game. Very smart indeed!I really hope they either re-do it expanded to accommodate all the extra possibilities of the newer platforms, or perhaps do a prequel version engineered to take advantage of all of them, with the excellent storytelling to go with it.

The product arrived in perfect condtion. Horizon Zero Dawn is one the best games that i have played in the passed few years and is definitely one of the best games to have come out for the PS4. You play as a brave explorer and survivor named Aloy as you traverse through a world where technology is as advanced as a fire and spear, but you share this world with robot dinosaurs. As Aloy explores the world she also discovers the secrets of what happend to civilization, why she is treated as an outcast, and what impending threat awaits her perople. She must unite tribes all across the land to work together to stop an army that can do the unthinkable, comminucate with the robots. The characters and enviornments are beautifully deisigned and vastly different. One part of the map can be a dense forest filled with lush greenery and towering trees and another can be a large open desert covered with red and brown sand that makes you fear braving the dust filled sea and its many inhabitants. It is a large open world with something to be seen around every corner. The gameplay missions will vary. One mission will have you fighting an entire bandit camp who are trying to protect their receantly scavenged loot and another may be you quietly trying to stalk a predator who preyed upon an innocent farmer from a remote and defenseless village. You can hunt the robot wildlife and recieve crafiting and upgrade materials from them. I highly recommend hunting, crafting, and upgrading Aloy as much as you can as early as you can so there isnt a disconnect from the game if you need to pause the story progression in order for you to level up. The game also has extra content DLC that comes with the complete edition (which is the copy i am reviewing) or can be purhcased separately through the Playstation store. If you purchase the complete edition all the dlc packs and levels are on the disc but the digital artbook and PS4 theme come on a DLC code. This is an amazing game that is a must play for any PS4 owner and might even be a system seller. At the time of this review (6/28/2020) Sony has revealed the PS5 with the sequel Horizon Forbidden West. the mailing process was great and the game is alot of fun the play.

Absolutely one of the greatest games of the generation. Without a doubt it is the best and most original story written for this generation.I am one of those rare gamers that value above all a solid story. It is then easy to understand that I have been missing games like this because apparently a story driven game is not among the highest things in the wishes of most gamers.Horizon Zero Dawn is right there in the top of the generation for me, with The Witcher III.I am really hoping that I love THE last of Us part II even a little as much as I liked the first, because again, there are quite a few enjoyable games in this generation but just a Few with a decent story. Three or four with a very good or better one.Horizon Zero Dawn is for me, the best story and the greatest narrative in a game in a very long time. I didn’t play the game in my PS4 Pro, but even in the regular PS4 the graphics are also amazing. Mechanics are good and fighting is challenging but having recently finished Nioh (the greatest fighting game I have ever played), and being currently playing Sekiro, I should say fighting is decent in the game, even good, but it is not the most remarkableThing in the game. Play this one for a great, deep, Engaging, original story.It develops in a lush, vivid, open world where you will find incredible adventures along the way.I started The Frozen Wilds Expansion and couldn’t go past the first 30Minutes because life got in the middle. I will try to post here about it when I finish it.My top single player campaigns of the current gen;1.- Horizon Zero Dawn and The Witcher III.2. Nioh.3. Spiderman4. Metal Gear Solid V : The Phantom Pain.5. God of War.I am not a huge fan of RPGs, but the great story of this game and the incredible open world and great, natural progression of The Witcher III make themThe two greatest games of this gen so far., in my Humble opinion.This games sells so cheap these days that I can tell you that if you like story driven games, these could be the best 12uSD ever spent in a video game. I got mine for 10 and those were by far the most enjoyable 10 I have ever spent in a video game and probably the best 10 period.Just get it, play it and be delighted.
