Jesus. I might have to just get this if the hype is this insane and the scores are so far backing it up.

Im amazed if GG could pull this off. A total genre change, and a clean break from average Killzone 3 and lame Shadow Fall.

Destructoid - 7.5

That particular quote isnt very insightful

 

[onemanasylum]

I feel bad for the crows, that what do you expect from Horizon thread especially.

 

[bluexy]

Looks like we have our first industry-wide GOTY contender, boys.

Fuck and 5/5 from Giant Bomb.

Incredible game

 

[OrbitalBeard]

K? Already planing on it.

Excellent. Give us your thoughts on why (or if) you disagree with their opinion once you've done so.

9.5

He didn't mention it's exclusive to PS4 in the review text. Has he learned nothing.

 

[jonjonaug]

Eurogamer didn't like it.

Surprise surprise.

This says they thought it was a good game. I think they did like it?

Stop it, these levels of hype can't be good for my health.

 

[bounchfx]

Somewhat Divisive? lol.

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

looking through the thread before I posted, I saw some 9s, a couple 7s, and a 2.5/5. by my definition that counts as somewhat divisive. It will be easier to draw a more accurate conclusion as more scores roll in. let's relax a bit

and at this point it's looking even better, me likey

 

[Possumowner]

My hype for this game has been vindicated,oh boy it's gonna be amazing

Honestly that Gerstmann score + Polygon, IGN etc..

Wow.

 

[firen]

Jeff gave it a 5? Jeff gave it a 5. I'm in.

 

[BigTnaples]

Holy fuck.

You did it Guerilla Games. You actually did it.

"HORIZON ZERO DAWN REVIEW: A GREATEST HITS COLLECTION OF OPEN-WORLD GAMES"

I am so tired of open world games.
But i am still thinking about getting this😂

 

[Shambala]

Man I'm ready. Can't wait to play this

 

[Gudji]

Gamespot gave it a 9/10

was not expecting reviews this good pre-ordering now Zelda can wait... ok in reality I will just get both.

 

[TatteredHat]

I have too many games to play already.

Guerrilla putting the dutch gaming development scene on the map.

Wow! From Jeff as well.

8.8 (Spanish)

 

[Goldboy]

I'm still predicting mid to high 80s but if it broke 90 that'd be great.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Nice, seems like a super positive reception! A bit of a kick in the balls that the two review sites I usually value the most for opinions are two of the only to come off more meh about the game (eurogamer & usgamer; I respect Jeff gerstmann but usually find what he likes as a warning as something I won't haha) but still, I can get hype off of this. Definitely sounds like it's going to be a good time, which is way above Shadowfall.

 

[T.O.P]

So edgy

K? Already planning on it.

Why so hostile? Buddy buddy with usgamer?

:lol



This and Zelda + Switch two days apart, whyyyyyy

 

[NoFaceNico]

Wow, I didn't expect reviews to be this positive. I might need to pick this one up.

 

[GHG]

Ok day one. I don't have time for all this shit but fuck it, YOLO.

 

[onemanasylum]

Find it interesting as most reviews say story is excellent, but a couple say the opposite. Would be nice to hear the reasoning for each side.

 

[flipswitch]

Wow, it's doing better than expected! WD GG.

 

[FelipeMGM]

I know some said that already, but for visual purposes...

 

[Striek]

Nah. Thats some fox news, climate change is actually a debate, all sides are equal nonsense you are pulling. There is a consensus already brewed and ready to serve.

 

[Brix]

90 meta so far. Congrats Guerrilla Games. GG.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

I was expecting good scores but this is amazing! I can't imagine how good Guerrilla must be feeling right now ^_^
