Horizon Zero Dawn is a last console generation exclusive, that now made its way to the Pc. Why did Sony let this gem out to into the wild? Obviously too hook us pc monkeys to buy the PS5 to play the next installation of this game, which will be more of the same amazing world and main character in a slightly different setting. In this case more of the same is actually a good thing: 1. Good Story, nothing that deserves the pulitzer price, but actually well thought out and immersive. It really helps to go for the Sidequests to see what the world holds for you and how it all connects. 2. Gameplay: The main focus of the game is the hunt of robot animals/dinosaurs that is mostly fun and rewarding. After figuring out the mechanics for each enemy type it can get stale, if you not up the difficulty. 3. Graphics: Considering this is PS4 generation game, this game looks amazing most of the time, but with the obvious limitations you would expect from a PS4 games, like some textures beeing at a lower resolution then in a pc game. Negatives: 1. Fighting human enemies feels way too easy and not really rewarding. This is by far the most tedious part for me. 2. Crafting can be a pain in the buttocks, when you not always pick up all the stuff and shoot all the little critters in the world. As these are really the only two things that annoyed me, i would consider this an excellent game, that everyone can enjoy!
After i played the game in its original state, which was far from perfect, but enjoyable, at least to me, i returned this summer. ONE of the few selling points was the truly good story and the amazing graphics that immersed me into the world of Cyberpunk. NOW i return to the game and i feel like something is off. I realize there are many visual bugs that had not been there before. I check my graphics settings, which had not changed, what made me worry my pc was breaking down. After a few minutes i found out, that CDPR basically downgraded the hell out of Cyberpunk, so the old console generation can run the game. In this state of the game i can not recommend buying this. You will find no enjoyment in this nightmare of visual downgrade. On top of everything i have not found a single statement from CDPR adressing this to the public, what in my eyes is a complete shame. I PAID FOR THIS GAME! And not a shitty PS4 Version! Till this is fixed even 1 Star is a compliment
