Horizon Forbidden West

Description

Continue Aloy’s epic journey in Horizon Forbidden West, a next-level action role‑playing game from Guerrilla Games and Sony Interactive Entertainment that launched on February 18, 2022 for PS4 & PS5, with a PC release (Complete Edition) on March 21, 2024

xplores the mysterious “Horizon Forbidden West” — a majestic frontier ravaged by toxic blight and colossal machine fauna. Equipped with upgraded weapons like the Spike Thrower and tools including the Pullcaster grappling hook, Diving Mask, and Gliderwing, players enjoy fluid vertical traversal and creative stealth and combat options

Featuring a richly detailed open world, the game balances narrative momentum with exploration: the first hours ground the player, then release you into dynamic, carefully crafted biomes from underwater ruins to towering mountains

Key gameplay includes intense machine-based combat using elemental ammo, strategic traps, override hacking, and customizable skills across Brave, Hunter, and Infiltration trees

Critical acclaim followed upon release: praised for visuals, quest design, combat depth and world-building, with some narrative criticisms. Still, most reviewers hailed it as a worthy successor and expansive improvement over Zero Dawn

The game sold over 8.4 million units by April 2023, cementing its status as a major AAA release. Available on PS5, PS4, and Windows. DLC “Burning Shores” and the Complete Edition deliver further content and visual polish
