Product Description
Join Aloy as she braves the Forbidden West - a majestic but dangerous frontier that conceals mysterious new threats. Explore distant lands, fight bigger and more awe-inspiring machines, and encounter astonishing new tribes as you return to the far-future, post-apocalyptic world of Horizon. The land is dying. Vicious storms and an unstoppable blight ravage the scattered remnants of humanity, while fearsome new machines prowl their borders. Life on Earth is hurtling towards another extinction, and no one knows why. It's up to Aloy to uncover the secrets behind these threats and restore order and balance to the world. Along the way, she must reunite with old friends, forge alliances with warring new factions and unravel the legacy of the ancient past - all the while trying to stay one step ahead of a seemingly undefeatable new enemy.

Owners of a PS4 disc copy must insert it into the PS5 every time they want to download or play the PS5 digital version.

One is nice change is that your mount follows you and allows you to be able to travel or climb out of an area but still be able to call your mount to you. I did find that the chances of your mount being killed by machines or raiders is higher even if you leave it a fair distance away. They also seem less populated. You can travel pretty far without coming across a mount site. Love the Fire Bristleback mount.
The side missions are frequent and fun but I was rolling my eyes that one of the side missions includes a lecture on a hot button social issue. ( Must it permeate everything? Can we not just play a game?) But I haven't found anything else and it's relatively minor.
I have only found one or two new weapons that are actually worth using. The rest are the usual assortment of bows, slings and casters. The availability of certain kinds of resources for ammo (machine muscle) is frustrating but par for the course. I have found that the ability of weapons to shoot multiple kinds of ammo is more limited and find myself changing weapons more often to use different ammo.
There are other things that seem really pointless. There is a chess-like game you can play in settlements and collect or buy pieces for that you need to learn to play for dubious rewards. I found it slow and boring but I don't enjoy chess either so....Also new is the need to find a workbench to upgrade weapons, pouches and outfits instead of being able to do it on the fly. Boo. However extra resources that you are already too full to carry can be collected and sent to your "Stash" that is also found in settlements and random camps. You can then visit any Stash and have access to and fill up on your common extra resources. Yay.
There are many different skills you can learn that are passive or active. I find the active skills to be more fiddly with the controls than I like and I don't activate them as much. I may have to learn some though as I have come across the first cauldron than I am unable to beat. I either haven't mastered using the proper skill (think power surge) or just haven't figured out the best tactics.
Love the new machines throughout and some changes to old ones. The Baboon like Clamberjaw had a high creep factor for me.
Just like with the first Horizon Zero Dawn, Forbidden West is has high value. With the beautiful game play and graphics along with the degree of complexity it gives you lots of bang for your buck. I hope they are working on add on packs and a third game is in development.
Pros:
First of all, the game is absolutely gorgeous!! Every aspect, from the land to the sky, to the sea, looks breathtaking. Incredible attention to detail.
Voice acting is A+. There's a couple new actors who really UNDERSTOOD the assignment.
I personally loved the character growth and development of Aloy. No spoilers, I just think the themes of the game are presented really well
There's so much to do! Mission, side quest, errands, bandit camps, exploration, strike, melee pits, arena combat: if you get bored with one thing, try something else
New equipment and skills galore! So many new weapons and skills available. Can be a little overwhelming but it gives you choices and variety of gameplay options
Valor surges are a great addition to gameplay
Awesome new machines to fight
FANTASTIC soundtrack. I really enjoyed the music in the first game, but this one is really incredible. I listen to it a lot outside of the game
Cons:
I played the Zero Dawn fairly recently and there were some people/places that I forgot about. If it's been a while since you played, you may want to replay/recap the first game. Story picks up shortly after the first, so you may be a little lost if you can't remember it
Climbing is certainly better in this game but can be annoying compared to other franchises.
Minor glitches (Didn't really bother me, but others may find it frustrating)
To upgrade gear/outfits, you need a LOT of resources so be prepared. Farming everything you need can be very time consuming
