USGAMER

2.5/5

Welp!!

So edgy

 

[VanWinkle]

Colin from Kinda Funny says it's the best PS4 exclusive.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Lol Guerrilla. Good job you guys. I'm impressed.

 

[onemanasylum]

I predict that in spite of all these positive reviews, the talk four pages from now will be an argument about the Eurogamer, USGamer, and Destructoid reviews.

No they will talk about the couple lower scores and act like they are the only ones that matter.

 

[Osahi]

Just finished the game a few hours ago and about to type up my review. (Print means no rush to nda embargo, though I got my copy late so I've played 25 hours in two days)

I landed on a 9. Game was incredible from beginning to end and my grievences are small and mostly have a 'but ' (story idea is generic for instance, but it's well told and paced, which makes it compelling)

 

[orichalcos]

USgamer 2.5/5

WTF?

 

[bounchfx]

interesting, somewhat divisive but mostly positive so far. pretty much in line with what I would have expected. looking forward to reading some of these to see if it's something I'd want to buy

edit: destructoid says it 'could be too short. That's one hell of a positive for me Lol. I aint got time for games so if this is short i'm down. Anyone have any idea? he didn't give a number

Horizon: Zero Dawn is a work of considerable finesse and technical bravado, but it falls into the trap of past Guerrilla games in being all too forgettable. For all its skin-deep dynamism it lacks spark; somewhat like the robotic dinosaurs that stalk its arrestingly beautiful open world, this is a mimic that's all dazzle, steel and neon yet can feel like it's operating without a heart of its own.

No score though? Or did I miss it?

Not really divisive at all. Overwhelmingly positive is more apt.

 

[Jafku]

Damn! All these great reviews. Consider me hyped. Just wish it wasn't so close to Zelda

 

[wachie]

Eurogamer didn't like it.

Surprise surprise.

Guess we know whats going to be the likely topic over the course of next few days.

SMH EG.

Destructoid - 7.5

You know and odd score for the drama

Eurogamer (the main one), does not have a Recommended/Essential/Avoid tag: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-02-19-horizon-zero-dawn-review

Interesting review, but if the gameplay holds up which it seems to do, then I don't see the negatives being a huge thing.

Does make me just a lil curious on how it'll be received after the hype dies down.

If Jeff got excited this must be some truly groundbreaking shit.

 

[Zasa]

Not really divisive at all. Overwhelmingly positive is more apt.

Indeed, more 5/5's to come as well

[Hoho for breakfast]

Holyyyyy shit look at those scores from the big names. Well done GG.

 

[isaacnukem]

I look away for a minute and this thread opens up with 222 replies? Good grief.

 

[Heshinsi]

I took a nap and woke up in time to witness this.

Guerrilla Games, I witness you.

 

[VanWinkle]

Looks like mid to high 80s is very possible, which is awesome.

 

[TsuWave]

GOAT GAME. LETS GOOOOO

 

[Primethius]

Glad to see it's reviewing well.

 

[SuperBanana]

Snippets from GB's review.

It's a near-perfect story that creates a world and also provides meaningful answers about said world.

I thought the game was coming to an end around two-thirds of the way through, only to discover that there were multiple hours of mainline gameplay left to experience and additional answers to seek.

Open combat is more exciting, but it can also be slightly clunky.

Even some of the smaller quests get their own fascinating twists and turns, and characters often defy expectations in welcome ways.

Horizon: Zero Dawn is familiar but also really refreshing. It's not a short game (I spent around 30 hours with it)

Jim Sterling – 9.5 / 10.0 (Superb)

Horizon: Zero Dawn is just brilliant. I speak as a critic who has played more "open sandbox" games than any one human should and has grown so very weary of them. I should have gotten sick of this thing in an hour, but I've been glued to it for days and days and I don't want it to end.
