Amazing game

Amazing world, visuals, machines and combat. Day night cycle as well as weather changes are one of the best that I saw so far. Almost at any point in game you can make a wallpaper quality screenshot. Breath taking views everywhere. Story is OK-ish, but dialogs and characters are on hollywood teenager movie level. They are boring, bland and full of inconsistency. Read: your typical scenario of choosen one main protagonist and bad guy(s) with few cliche freinds along the way. Fortunatelly world building make up for this. And I liked main character, very nicelly done. Many side quests are equally boring. Peasant: go to barn and kill 10 rats, than I will reward you with rusty pan. Or may be I am just spoiled by Witcher 3 / Cyberpank 2077 story and quests? Luckily you can just ignore them. Game have few technical issues. Namelly it is agressivly uses low quality textures. If you move 5 meters from object high quality textures are replaced with low quality ones. For consoles thats problably fine, but we are on PC? On top of that after some hours of playing, game stops using high quality textures for many objects alltogether. Up to the point that during diallog NPC body is just a brown cylinder instead of armor / skin texture. Game also leaks memmory and crashes after prolonged running sessions (even if you stay AFK). I end up reloading game every few hours. Overall game runs 60-70 FPS with ultra / high settings on following PC: 1440p display, Vega 64 UV&OC (1500 MHz core, 1100 MHz mem), R5 2600x. Inventory managment is also so so. I can live with sub par story and quests because visuals, machines, weapons and combat are amazing. And you spent most of the time exploring the world and fighting then engaging with NPC's. Also you can skip dialogs.

A Fantastic Adventure

This is perhaps the synthesis of big budget AAA gaming, and it is a marvelous example of everything done right. I played this game for over 90 hours and by its end I looked back on it fondly. The world is a joy and Aloy is a charming character to play as. What this game nails is exploration and the feeling of adventure that is infused into every far flung outpost, every new, tantalizing vista. There isn't much to the NPCs in this game, and the world is fairly empty besides its scattered collectibles, but it is crafted so well, and with so much thought put into things, that it remains a joy to explore. The expansion, The Frozen Wilds, is an amazing step up for this game. I was merely enamored with it prior to the expansion, but I was in love post this DLC. The stories in this smaller map are so good, well realised and executed, that it puts the main game to shame. The biggest criticism I have of Horizon Zero Dawn is its subdued story and uninspired, rote, side quests. The expansion corrects this wonderfully. Every side quest is a big story, and I enjoyed them a lot. The one that stuck out to me, and what I believe is a perfect representation of the good found in this game, is a side quest set in an abandoned dam. Here, as Aloy explores the dam and gets it operational, we find out about the previous workers. They are a group of ladies who find out they will be soon be retrenched. Their youthful energy contrasted with the world weary hardship of leaving and drifting apart is felt acutely and conveyed sincerely. They start a band and we hear their final performance before they all go their separate ways. It is very touching. This youthfulness and simple melancholy embodies Horizon Zero Dawn and pushes it forward. This was a fantastic, pristine experience.

One of the best games of the decade!

I originally bought this on PS4. It was a near perfect game, except for having to run it on PS4 equipment. I was so excited to finally see a PC release!!! Even better, it was available DRM-free on GOG! If Sony keeps this up, I'll be one happy customer (Bloodborne, please). It's post-post-apocalyptic tribal robo-dinosaur hunting at its finest. Nothing beats finding and taking down a new robo-dinosaur for the first time. Beautiful graphics, original concept, fantastic plot, challenging-but-fair skill based combat, great voice acting... I love it! I've heard folks have had trouble with crashes, etc. I've never had a crash, and rarely dip below 60FPS on ultra (though I've got a beefy PC). The loading times are pretty long, unless you run the "Optimize Shader Cache" at the beginning.

Beautiful world with boring gameplay

On positive side, the world is quite beautiful and the concept is interesting with robots like animals roaming the world. On neutral side, the game replicates Ubisoft open world formula. There are watchtowers, bandit camps etc. The execution of the formula isn't as good as in Far Cry or Ghost Recon: Wildlands though. Also note that this is not a roleplaying game. It's less of an RPG than Assasin's Creed. Your only choices are which side quests you're going to do. But what really killed this game for me was combat. Sneaking around and planning trap placement was fine but once discovered the fight turns into palyer running like a headless chicken. You cannot stop to aim or reasses situation because something will charge at you, shoot you or throw a projectal at you. There's no taking cover either. It didn't help that the story was told in rather heavy-handed fashion. The game hammers player with 'corporations are corrupt' and 'automation is bad' messages rather than subtly hinting that through environmental story telling or ambiguous diary entries. Side quests were also nothing to write home about. Rather generic and I couldn't get myself to care about any character in the game (including the main one). Speaking of main character, I couldn't empathise with her motivation in the prologue at all. She's an outcast from birth (for reasons she doesn't know), essentially everyone in the tribe hates her, but somehow she desparately wants to pass a trial which will make her a member of the tribe, the tribe whos people mostly hate her. Oh, and if she passes, it's likely that she's going to loose her adoptive father who she deeply loves. So yeah, I didn't buy those motives. If this was an RPG, I'd choose not to go through the trial and justs hit the road to explore the world. I need to admit that I haven't finished the game, but after like 10 hours I stopped carrying about the plot so I doubt finishing would change my opinion on the writting.

One of the best action RPG games ever

Forbidden West is great also, but Zero Dawn is where my love of the series started. The story, the combat, and pretty much ebverything is great. My only real complaint is that in cutscenes the mouth movement often doesn't match the words people say.
