Horizon Zero Dawn Review "Buy, Wait for Sale, Rent, Never Touch?"

[@johnnyblaze9448]

Go into the comments on any of the big game sites like IGN, Gamespot and all you see is flame wars, digs at xbox gamers etc etc, look in ACGs comment section and all you see is comment after comment of good feedback related to the review.. thats called respect!!!

[@darkwyve]

Roland, I got both consoles and I am loving some of the great exclusives available this year for my PS4, but damn I laughed out loud at your 'hurr durr' comment. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@Aboveup]

Same.

[@browland1]

This is why I go to ACG and Easy Allies for my game reviews. Objective, well thought out and they seem to attract a better class of viewership.

[@poopmatt]

You guys say you want healthy comment sections, yet you still say stuff like "If I see another blind fanboy... ". Stop using their lingo. Don't use the word "fanboy". Not only does it sound incredibly childish, you're just adding fuel to the fire.

[@Aboveup]

Take that up to the person saying it on an individual basis instead of painting in the broad strokes you're trying to condemn.

[@ks2033tv]

Just completed this game.. 70 hours into it. BUY IT. If you even remotely like this style of game buy it, you won't be disappointed.

[@blair5475]

How do you know the number of hours you have spent into it?

[@OrphanCrippler1]

I was disappointed. Stale world, static npcs and seriously easy and laughable stealth

[@ACGreviews]

My Thoughts. Pseudo 4k at 30fps looking like this is pretty damned good. Enjoyable title that handles open world right. Leashing in some of the bloat, excellent sound, music, voice, graphics and its a blast. Has its issues though. Human AI isn't great, and up close combat is a bit odd. Everything combined though. An incredible time. Just not perfect. Also when talking about the foliage reacting to the world. I meant wind, shadow, light, and the longer stuff for the main character. I should have clarified or something.

[@andrzej99BF3]

ACG if you were a potato, you would the best potato ever made

[@karaso0]

ACG I'm curious, how would you rank your gameplay experience with Horizon when compared to any other titles you've played in oh the last 4-5 months? Can you think of any other recent titles you rate better then it?

[@ACGreviews]

I discuss that in the vid

[@karaso0]

ACG Lol just watched it and it must've flew over my head.....though I think I could remember your exact words now that I think about it 🤔

[@toprakyetkinichedefler62]

ACG for me better than Witcher3

[@Saitekman]

I like how this guy does reviews. It doesn't sound like a bunch of jump edits either. You deserve more subs.

[@ACGreviews]

thanks nathan

[@FallenOne669]

Honestly, Guerrilla seems to actually really care about making this game better, since they have released perhaps a dozen (since I last checked) patches for Horizon, fixing almost every bug that someone has complained about.

[@deadcan1980]

I switched from IGN, Gamespot and even Angry Joe to this channel. Great reviews, objective and detailed. Moreover, it's amazing how fast you crank out these quality reviews. You are the Stephen King of game reviews, sir ;-)

[@ACGreviews]

+Drummerke 1980 thanks

[@WH250398]

For me it's both ACG and Angry Joe. They both tell you different useful details about a game.

[@ZevianAlter]

Drummerke 1980 AJ is absolute shit now he's becoming no better than gamespot.

[@ZevianAlter]

Benjamin Kloppenburg So For Honor a dlc schemed, buggy mess netcode while always online though decent combat makes it a 7/10 when in the past he scored games with negatives like that with less points. He was far to forgiving of that game then Resident evil 7 it is a great game but it is bare bones without dlc do not even mention the season pass nor mark it as a negative so you tell me what's going on with AJ.

[@knavenformed9436]

Angry Joe is more for the laughs, I never really take him serious, he seems a bit biased at times.

Been watching ACG since his state of decay review 4 years ago. He has literally delivered nothing but quality reviews/insight for almost 4+ years. Really happy to see the channel start to blow up! Even when our opinions differ on a title, his arguments are always well thought out and very objective. Here's to Karak doing even bigger things in the future!

[@immortalsun]

You know he reads the comments, right? You can say “you” instead of “he.”

[@highonheroin5352]

Finished RDR2, saw that this game is $15 in the PS Store for the 2018 Black Friday sale... I felt really guilty after beating it for getting it on sale because it's still worth its weight in fkn gold. Probably a standard for years to come. If you're here in 2018 deciding if it's worth it, believe me you'll want your kids to try this game one day.

"Or if you finances and/or circumstances don't permit, share the hell out of the content." Every time i see a discussion in the comment section about IGN vs Gamespot vs whatever, i take my time to recommend these reviews. Most often i say a few glowing words about ACG and link one of the latest videos. Some of the people have even thanked me later for doing that, so impressed they were in the work that Karak does.

Not to mention RDR2 later this fall.

[@WH250398]

Joe C. I do not have a good feeling about Mass Effect and Zelda to be honest... Mass Effect because of EA, Zelda because from what i have seen, it looks very empty to me. I could easily be wrong though, because neither series has had a bad game.

[@KWHere2]

[@ItsJayCross319]

Maybe I'm just used to Naughty Dog face animation, but I feel like the face animations here show NO emotion. The game looks seriously fantastic, especially pushing the limits on what the PS4 can do, but the conversations seem so....lifeless.

[@GreyWarden00]

At times that certainly seems so. My problem though is that there seems to be syncing problems with mouth and voice. There is also the matter that the NPCs' facial animations are very twitchy for me. Like the faces of people I talk to seem to have epileptic episodes.

[@tactics-mnk6084]

ItsJayCross That's true. In the beginning I played through every dialogue, now I'm skipping them every once in a while. But, for me, that does no damage to my experience at all.

[@tensai1shounen8]

Some of the minor NPCs have REALLY twitchy facial expressions, really bothered me...

[@ZigZag-mw9ir]

ItsJayCross Aloy has good face animations but sometimes it looks like she is looking above the character. Most other characters other than key ones are quite bad in terms of emotion

[@KnutKniffte]

This game was created in Amsterdam. Of course the faces look stoned :D

[@patadeurso]

I already reached a point where i listen to your reviews just to listen and enjoy the way you do your aproach. It's amazing how someone can entertain you so much in a review. I love the fact that you take notice of small details that more than 90% of reviews don't even talk about. One of the main reasons you became my meta for game reviews it's because you go deep into subjects like sound, music and voice which for me can make the diference between getting a full immersion during a monologue or just snooze through an entire battle scene. Thank you so much.

[@bearpuns5910]

It isn't two minutes long or filled with sponsored bullcrap.

[@MythicSuns]

I personally love this game, my general views are similar in that I don't think it's perfect but it definitely feels close. Plus the game is quite an achievement considering it's made by a company that's never done this type of game before. Story wise it's not exactly anything new in the world of Sci Fi but the way the story is told is fantastic, it's one of the few games i've played where the main theme music has more of an impact once you start to get a further understanding of the world and the events that lead to the worlds existence, not to mention Aloys backstory which for the sake of spoilers I won't get into.

[@JoseSantiago-iv6dr]

[@ACGreviews]

[@DevDreCW]

This game is so good that any little thing that isn't up to par stands out like a sore thumb. The melee combat, and the human enemies aren't bad by other games standards, but in this game they really don't fit in. To have such detailed machines with weak points that effect their abilities, and the progression of fighting one and seeing it get weaker and more wounded but then have humans who take 6 headshots with fire arrows, not react to them, lack any of the features of fighting a machine (like crippled limbs, dropping weapons, ext) is really painful. the melee combat just feels ... bland. When she's so reactive to her enviroment, but then just aimlessly swings her spear with no real reaction from her or the enemy... Ive taken to just going full on stealth when dealing with humans or potential melee situations... Stealth isn't the best ever, but they did it well enough that I can overlook those two huge flaws. The world, the lore, the machine battles, and the characters are masterfully done. If this game had more rpg elements, and if Aloy had some sort of side character to bond with, itd probably be one of my favorites.

[@jasondelcambre1608]

it is a great game and I agree with you it has a few issues but I'd give it a 9.5 out of 10 all in all a great game to play

I just finished this game tonight and I have to say that I consider this a 10. The only issues I had with it are 1. Inventory micromanagement, 2. Long load times when fast traveling long distances. Neither of these issues really detracted from my overall enjoyment of the game. Engrossing story, engaging combat, characters I care about, Immersive world. This is the kind of experience I hope to have every time I purchase a new game, BRAVO! to Guerrilla games for this masterpiece!

[@CriticalJ]

Finally, a review that actually makes sense. A lot of the negative reviews for this game make arguments that frankly just aren't true. I like your realistic view of all of the aspects of the game including that, while many mechanics aren't perfect, they don't ruin the game and that even if the game doesn't provide anything NEW, it definitely does all of the genre defining things extremely well. That makes it a very enjoyable game, and while I respect anyone's opinion to not like the game, many of the people who write reviews seem to comment about aspects of the game they either are clearly misunderstanding, or making statements about a game that are just plain false, making it seem as though they didn't even actually play it. Refreshing to see a reviewer actually ACCURATELY describe they game they played and still include the things they didn't like mixed with the things they DID.

[@captainjumptoast]

Dang flip this was some good reviewin'. I particularly loved how it was said that he personally didn't like the rolling that much and so if that was the case for someone playing it they could put skill points into locking down enemies so there was less dodge rolling and that this was personal preference. This line really struck me with it's objectivity. This flippin' review was stankin' good. Thumbs up-ed the crap out of this.

[@TheHipisterDeer]

Taylor Williams even with the Scorpio there is a severe lack of exclusives for it. Granted yes one can argue that your mostly getting it for the majority of multiplatform games but I just don't see the apeal in that console.... plus most of the exclusives that Xbox does have are on PC anyhow which you can build a more powerful machine than Scorpio......

[@PS4sos21]

That game was cancelled because Neir: Automata, Platinum's other game is gonna be Playstation 4 exclusive ...

Scalebound was in a terrible place and a endless moneypit

[@darkwyve]

If that's the case UB40Music, then clearly the ones making those decisions at Microsoft suffer from acute mental retardation. Let's see, this company is putting out a great exclusive title for our opposition. However, that will build up hype for their follow up titles, so let's just cancel their exclusive for our console that will benefit from that hype... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

honestly one of the best, and most well put together games I've ever played. I didn't buy the game at launch because I'm usually not a huge fan on action rpg's. I'm 40 hours into the complete edition now because it was on sale for $18 and I'm so invested. My problem with games like skyrim is I get very board usually 30-40 hours in, the world is not fun to traverse despite it looking gorgeous, and a big disconnect with the story. the pacing feels a lot better in this game and I ACTUALLY want to do the main quest and I'm intrigued and want to learn more. the combat feels so good mainly because of how the machines move and I enjoy going places on the map and don't dread the journey. I could go so much more in depth with what makes this game excellent imo. too much to talk about though haha

[@spartacus1155]

definitely a Buy in my opinion

[@Kohbruh]

dude, excellent review as always. I waited to pick this up, about 10 hours in I said man I gotta tell karak about this. definitely my favorite AAA title so far. outstanding.

[@ACGreviews]

thanks

[@Prime_Legend]

I really like the combat, weapons&gear, music/sound, exploration but the story is the weakest part of the game so far(I'm about 20 hours into the game I think). While the world building and lore is good, I just find almost every character I've come across to be flat, except for Erend.

[@BaresarkSlayne]

Thanks for a great review man. Nothing as in depth out there as your reviews. Keep it up man!

[@fabiotramonte962]

Subbed. Honestly you know how to stay unbiased and definately know how to review. Good job mate.

[@Soulfide]

I have to say this game and story is the best I've played in a long time....best so far this year imo

My husband got this yesterday and was up till 7am playing it lol. (He never stays up that late)

9.8/10. Masterpiece. Takes a dump on xbox.

And PC takes a bigger dump on both!

@@Thebaildude Care to name a PC-exclusive that "takes a bigger dump on both" ?

This was the first game where I was amazed even after I got the Platinum trophy. My first platinum trophy. My favorite 2 games would still be The Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption but I'm still amazed by the fact that this game had an open world with animations like an action adventure game and open world like no other. It also had no issues from launch even after being an open world game. I was amazed - when I saw first tallneck from afar - when I saw the Horizon - when I took down Thunderjaw - I really wanted to find out what happened. I was wishing that people were frozen and alive in the mountain. Aloy need to find a way to save but that didn't happen. I have completed the game when it came out but I'm still amazed that this game exist. Guerilla games just made something special, I like Killzone 2 and 3 a lot as well. 1p games I remember all the time are(There are many more) : 1. The Witcher 3 2. Red Dead Redemption 3. Age of Empires 2 4. Red Faction Guerrilla 5. Assassin's Creed 4(and 3) 6. Dragon Age Origins(I loved Inquisition when I played it but I forgot about that game) 7. Resident Evil 4 8. Shadow of the Collossus 9. Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence 10. Heavy Rain

The missing frames when quick firing the bow bugs me much more than it probably should.

I'm just now playing this game and I'm about 50 hours in. I'm loving it so far. I only have two issues with it... the instant weather changes and Aloy. The weather changes from a perfect sunny day to foggy and rainy seemingly at the blink of an eye. It's very annoying to me after a while. Especially during combat. And Aloy is kind of a bitch.

[@Jdb63]

I love Aloy

[@1ledluverjlp]

She is sarcastic sometimes and take no shit

[@ScrilboBaggins]

Great review as always Karak!!!

[@mewgiah8057]

I really respect the review. But there are some things that give me pause about this game: * The combat looks kind of clunky. * While the dinosaurs are amazing and I can't imagine getting bored of hunting them, it seems like the gameplay loop in this game isn't that good. * many reviews including positives ones, said they started to feel fatigue 20 hours in, as the game is extremely repetitive in both the main and side missions. The gameplay loop is also problematic. * the game has a heavy emphasis on survival/ crafting (this is just a subjective thing, but personally not a big fan of it). * lastly I've seen a lot of cut scenes and streams. And most of the dialogue and voice acting is really bad (not Aloy, but mostly the side characters). I've also read that the game has a pretty poor script. Critics loved the story concept, and the "moments" that the game has. But i hear the actual story isn't that fleshed out, and has poor structure (so similar to how FFXV had story moments, and less of a fully fleshed out story). I feel the press might be too in love with how "progressive" the game is, to ding the story for its flaws. No doubt this game is technical masterpiece. But it seems to me (personally), that the game doesn't do that much with combat, and mission designs." And I could see myself struggling with that 10 hours in. 15 hours in. Etc. This is of course subjective opinions/ perception. I know most will disagree. I respect others views. I think this review was very informative and fantastic. But at least for me, it kind of let's me know that it prob won't be the game for me. I look at other games which are no where near this game in terms of technical achievements. Same with witcher 3. But games that seem to have nailed the gameplay portion, as well as all the things you can do to interact with the open world. It feels like that makes for a much more rich game, in terms of the actual gameplay experience. And that really means a lot, if you are going to spend 30+ hours in a game. I think I'll pass on Horizon and wait for a sale.

[@ACGreviews]

yep all stuff I discuss there in the review. Easy to their own. I can't say anything about BOTW sorry. I don't have it. I just have this.

[@mewgiah8057]

ACG to be clear, I think your reviews are brilliant because they provide info that the consumer can then take and inform themselves on. Everyone is different, and has different subjective tastes, wants and needs. Your reviews provide your audience with the information, and then it's on them to decide for themselves. That is why I love your reviews, and think they are the best in the industry. As you said, it's not about a "score", or disagreeing with someone else's opinion. It's about everyone enjoying themselves, and figuring out which games are for them. And sometimes not every game will be for you - and that's fine. I prob shouldn't have added the BOTW / end of the year comments at the end. I'll remove them, because I feel it's silly to make comparisons this early on (and I don't want people getting focused on that). Sorry about that Karak.

[@hassanghanim3966]

"* the game has a heavy emphasis on survival/ crafting (this is just a subjective thing, but personally not a big fan of it)" and yet you want to play zelda? thats what you mostly do in that game, and based on the latest videos, most have bland fields with many enemy camps here and there.

[@venix6473]

Emily R Its not your type of game, so I hope you find something suits your taste

[@luxeternity]

Hassan Ghanim lmao the clap back ..nice..take that nostalgia goggle off and you see a brand that been milked for years 😒

[@danielhacker2881]

New to your reviews but definitely some of the best reviews I've watched funny and informative

[@ckboy221]

You're always the first guy I go to for game reviews. Your style is so unique and flow is impeccable.

"...for folks out there that like to play dark souls and do calculus homework on the side..." That right there made me hit the like button... hahaha

[@adamgregory6115]

Damn dude. One of the best reviewers I've ever heard

[@ACGreviews]

thanks

[@DarronBrown88]

I'm curious, what is the highest rated game ACG has ever recommended? I would like to buy. Thanks for the great reviews!

[@whifftycent]

man, your reviews are great. I was cracking up "for those that like to play dark souls while doing calculus on the side" "a do it yourself vasectomy clinic" as always great work and thanks for the review karak! looking forward to this title

[@TheHipisterDeer]

You know I'm noticing that your videos are getting a LOT more views than the days when I started watch you with only videos like 13,000 views. I'm glad for you karak that your channel has grown really quickly this past year.

The use of lance riddick was a great choice to propel the story to the amazing climax. You get lost stalking robots and looting. Loved this game

Dude, You just got a sub. I wasn't having such a great day and I needed the laughs I got from this video. I also like how you did this review, very detailed and thorough in regards to each category especially with near zero spoilers.

I'm watching this for the second time and I heard a patron giveaway in the beginning 0:25. Is that over? If not, how do I make myself look like a New York geisha hooker so I can get it?

My bad just found it on the top right corner of your Titanfall review.

[@cirescythe]

great review. finally someone that realizes that using established systems in great quality is better than innovating for the sake of innovation. love that you segmented the review so clearly from graphics to sound etc. most bigger Review sites just spurt out what comes to their minds without any form of order
