Another runaway hit, man Sony has just OWNED 2017 so far. Resi 7, Nioh and now Horizon...it's gonna be a banner year for the PS4.

Computer Bild Spiele - 1.18

Now, 1 is best, 6 is worst. German grading system.

Only critisizes fast traveling loading times, dragging ending, swimming and climbing not that perfect.

So, if Im getting this right, its the highest rated PS4 game to date on their ranks?

 

[gundamkyoukai]

I mean, what can those with "concerns" really say? The reviews are glowing and far better than a lot of people expected lol

This is very true .
There is not to be concern about GG has pull it off.

Buncha Reviews

You do good work in these kinds of threads. Thank you.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

I will be curious to see how they add multiplayer to the sequel.

If Capcom won't make something resembling an HD Monster Hunter, this is close enough.

I hope they do
If not a dlc mode gosh it would it be fun

 

[Zeusy]

It's beautiful

 

[Drayco21]

Jeff Gerstmann: 5/5. Damn.

Yup; this is all I needed to know to feel okay about pre-ordering this game. Day one.

 

[Rembrandt]

Here's the big thing for me. I knew, or at least figured there was a very good chance, that the gameplay and the graphics were going to be good to great. Guerrilla has always excelled with that stuff. The big surprise for me is how many reviewers are HIGHLY praising the story.

That makes me so happy.

I'm really shocked. I thought that would be the part getting hit the hardest. Makes me really interested in the story. I also didn't know chloe price was voicing the main character.

 

[PSOreo]

My only fear now is the performance on the OG PS4. I'd hate for it to be left behind with all these wonderful enhancements the Pro will get the benefit from.

 

[GHG]

Ok ok...... canceling my Switch pre-order.

Getting Horizon & ME:A instead.

Shit, when does ME:A drop?

 

[Loudninja]

You do good work in these kinds of threads. Thank you.

Thanks not a big deal though just posting reviews

The fuck is this?

 

[Nugg]

I still can't get over the fact that we're getting this and Zelda the same week. I have no idea what to play first.

 

[AzureFlame]

so on PS4 pro same as PS4 before the update ? we need an update to get the enhancements?

 

[dEvAnGeL]

Shit, when does ME:A drop?

March 21st

 

[Tubie]

Shit, when does ME:A drop?

A month after Horizon I believe.

 

[ElephantShell]

I've had this game pre ordered since 2 E3s ago. I'm glad it appears to not be shit.

Well they hired talented writers.

 

[geordiemp]

finally, the first open-world western RPG with a good battle mechanic.[/QUOTE]

Yup thats why I am interested because

1. Open world RPG which what seems like good [B]challenging[/B] combat

2. Not damn empty like so many open world , more than [B]5 spawning alive things on screen[/B]

Especially the latter, most open world games so empty

 

[HandsomeCharles]

I'm glad this game has reviewed well. If I ever get a PS4 I'll be sure to pick it up

(Any noticeable improvement for 1080p players on a Pro? Need to figure out what console to budget for...)

 

[GlamFM]

Shit, when does ME:A drop?

march 21st

 

[Heshinsi]

I mean, what can those with "concerns" really say? The reviews are glowing and far better than a lot of people expected lol

75%+ reviews are 9/10 or higher.

"The reviews seem to be divisive..."

 

[jonno394]

Eurogamer reviews tend to usually mirror how I feel with games. Reads like a 7/10 so by no means bad.

 

[Mugen08]

Surprised about these scores, had a hunch the game would "flop" and do the all too common mistake that is highlighted in the usgamer review:

... But with Horizon Zero Dawn the problem isn't the quantity, but the quality. If you're the type that loves meticulous crafting and meaningless side missions, you'll find plenty here. If not, then, well.

The game never spoke to me but it seems that those of you that have been waiting for it might be in for a treat.

 

[Inuhanyou]

i forgot to congratulate GG.

It seems like guerilla are back from their pretty low record with KZ3 and SF

 

[Floody]

Shit, when does ME:A drop?

21st in NA and 23rd in EU.

 

[ty_hot]

Oh boy, it's happening. Gonna be all over it on the first weekend of March.

 

[Dr. Malik]

88 with 62 Critics, a 90 is probably no longer doable

 

[Lagspike_exe]

The fuck is this?

Germans have a strange grading system.

 

[vivekTO]

I can be your angel...


Or your devil.

This is so tame comparing to the one review thread
and we already guessed one or two review will be outcast.

AusGamers 9.6

Not as happy, definitely, but at the end of the day I loved Horizon: Zero Dawn when it was a small, contained dinosaur hunting game — and then I loved it more when it revealed it was actually The Witcher: Dinosaur Edition. I can see its faults, I know they exist, but this game feels so much like it was built with me in mind that I'm happy to ignore them. I haven't — I've listed them above — but if a dinosaur game has been something you've dreamed of since you were little, and if the chore-based repetition-focused gameplay of Ark does as little for you as it does for me, you'll be able to ignore Horizon's few faults the way I can.

[Jarmel]

Holy shit at those scores.

 

[Swiggins]

My current struggle. Then the Switch and BotW a few days later. Not enough time for all of these games!

My backlog is going to be enormous this year, I've already gotta get through Nioh and Deus Ex still and Horizon comes out in a week, and of course I started another ME playthrough before ME:A comes out :/

Then right after that is Persona 5 and Yooka-Laylee.

I'm getting sorta overwhelmed...can't complain too much though, lol

 

[Kain-Nosgoth]

pretty much what i excepted from reading some reviews, not the best game ever but a pretty good one! I will wait a little, Zelda and Nier automata will have the priority, then there's the Dark Souls 3 dlc and then persona 5!

 

[I-hate-u]

The battle for Q1 just got more interesting in the three-way race between Zelda, Horizon and ME.

Spoiler

Doesn't matter because Persona will destroy all 3.

 

[sikkinixx]

Jeff Gerstmann: 5/5. Damn.

A lot of people seem to find this surprising. He loves Far Cry and Horizon has had more than a few "it's kinda like Far Cry" comments made about it.

March 21st

A month after Horizon I believe.

March 21

Ok not too bad then but there is still Nier to come as well... I think I will save some of this for the summer.

 

[Alchemist]

Trending on Twitter now.

 

[Danny-Boy]

Oh wow I had my March planned out with Zelda and Mass Effect. It looks like Zelda and the Switch just got pushed aside. Pre-ordered.

 

[illmatic22]

Decima putting that work in! Can't wait to see what Kojima does with it.

 

[Loudninja]

Too many reviews coming like 62 now .

 

[Hoo-doo]

The fuck is this?

Hell if I know, I mean what kind of backward-ass country would grade with letters instead of numbers? Ten-point scale or bust.

 

[wig]

62 reviews and it's still holding strong at 88 on MC. Good job GG! (I predicted 89 tho, come on one more point!)

In what regard?

Why are you highlighting the one negative review?

 

[jmaine_ph]

Yea at this point we are looking at 89 max and 87 min.

 

[I-hate-u]

In what regard?

GAFGOTY Awards.

 

[VanWinkle]

Well they hired talented writers.

But that couldn't have been all. Gonzalez also wrote Shadow of Mordor I believe, and that story wasn't anything to write home about.

 

[Omegabalmung9]

Your pretty much gonna be stuck in video game limbo like me lol. I'm currently playing through Yakuza 0 and Nioh right now. I have RE7, Gravity Rush 2, Digimon, and For Honor on backlog and Berserk on the way >.<
