Giving this a second chance, love the hunting/combat just find the NPC conversions overly long. Gorgeous game though.

Ever played the Witcher 3? You think Horizon is bad for long conversations - you ain't seen nothing! Drivel.

The main game had me hooked on the story so I had to finish it just for that. But the DLC I gave up on halfway through.

Started playing this on Christmas morning. Nice game, but the NPC conversations take far too long. I skip everything that isn't related to the main story.

I played about 3 hours and haven't gone back to it. The graphics ain't the best and the screen just looks too busy.

You really should give it more time - it's a brilliant game, looks and plays great - the HDR is especially great imo.

I've never seen anybody slate this games visuals. What a load of nonsense, arguably the best looking game out there. Screen looks busy? The attention to detail and textures are excellent. What do you mean busy?

Screen looks too busy? Switch some of the stuff off from the hud then. I only keep potions on. Everything else is off including reticule.

Do this.

Ill turn the UI off with just potions on. It's probably more down to my TV I'm playing on than the graphics being bad. I have a 40" hd TV that I sit a bit too far for my liking. Will jump back on this when I get a bigger TV and maybe PS4 pro if the price is right. I have no problem with the last of us or final fantasy 15.

Graphics look bad? It's the thing i most see praised about the game. Though i do run it on Pro with the Quality option turned on.

Just finished the DLC storyline. Wasn't on the same level as the main game but decent.

Any tips how to play this game? I love the idea, but I absolutely suck at it. I find the game really hard to play - yet its been said its quite easy to play so I'm doing something very wrong. I have replayed the opening many times and just can't grasp the controls.

Its a shame, as graphically its amazing looking and the setting is really interesting - I just can't seem to get the hang of it, does the game get easier the more you play it or something?

Farm shards then buy the purple bows then you can add more coils to the bows for more damage. One of my fire arrows usually brings a Glinthawk crashing to the ground for me to finish it off.

Like I said it's more to do with playing it on my 40" tv. Persona 5 looks fine on it.

If I played on a bigger TV, then I'll be saying it looks amazing.

Horizon looks awesome for me on ps4 pro on 4k 58 inch tv. My first ever platinum game , and just got the expansion to get into.
One note, I plaid the normal campaign on the fat ps4 and now upgraded to ps4 pro and cant notice the differences game looks gorgeous on either consoles

Earth[Tera].bin · 29 Dec 2017 at 21:39

Really getting into this now, loving the game . Some of the settings are particularly good.

Funny how it seems to have clicked the second time round for me, was possibly too impatient on the first play through.

apostolis_kt · 29 Dec 2017 at 22:27

I enjoyed it so far, at least the main story, i just would have liked if they revealed the story in a better way cant say anything more without minor spoilers.

Usually i don't care much about gameplay, but this game is so great on that department. I like finding different ways on killing machines makes it really fun, especially the big ones..
