Good to hear, hopefully the sequel is as successful. It’s one of my favourite games. I was already sold on robot dinosaurs, but it actually had a great story too.

I bought it twice - PS4 and PC - but they also gave it away last year so technically I have three copies. Wonder how many people claimed it for free.

Where was it given free out of interest?

Sorry, no. I forgot what thread I'm in.

Yep, I'm pretty much at the end now with I assume a mission or two left at Meridian regarding the spire but it's been one hell of a trip down memory lane again. I forgot how superb the lore was about what happened to The Old Ones. I can't wait for the sequel coming this Friday!

Think it is also in the ps+ collection for the PS5, but we don't know how many "free" copies have been claimed. The 20 million is a sold through number so none of the free versions are included.

This game is amazing, comes a close second to The Witcher 3 for me! The story of how the robots came to be, and how the Humans were able to "survive" was really thought provoking. How people can say that Elden Ring is better than this game with all it's 100/100 and 10/10 is just well

Fantastic game. One of the best I've played.

How will this run at 3440x1440 I have a 6700k with a 1080.

Should easily be doable. I had it running at 4K on a 1070 with the AMD FSR option enabled and got about 45-60fps.

I really hope the sequel comes to PC sooner rather than later. The original was probably my favourite non-VR PC game of last year.

Yeah it's a pretty decent game.

Just seen this free comic for Horizon Zero at https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/horizon-zero-dawn-vol-1-the-sunhawk-digital-comic-free-3977033 , but having a thick moment, can't work out how to view the comic (or rather show my better half how to in the morning).

If you haven't already found it, it's in the game files as a PDF called HZD Comic Book Volume 1. Right click on the game in your steam library --> Manage --> Browse local files

I recently bought this in the sale and tried it for the first time yesterday and it really looks amazing on Ultimate quality using DLSS in HDR, much better than in the YouTube videos. Horizon Forbidden West must be a real treat for the eyes.

I loved the first one on PC so much, I borrowed my mates PS4 for Forbidden West, it still looks pretty good on it but the frame rate at times is pretty bad and the amount of pop up is crazy!

I'm just so engrossed in the story, I don't think I can wait for it to come to PC, but i'll 100% replay it then again anyway! I've even contemplated buying a PS5 just to play it in its best form

I'm considering buying a PS5 for the remaining chapters of the Final Fantasy 7 remake, God of War and Horizon Forbidden West. Sony's strategy of giving us a taste of their exclusive games is very clever and has worked on me at least (Microsoft's Game Pass strategy is too as I have been subscribed to that for years, these companies have become rather more intelligent than in the past). It's a pity you can't buy one, what a tease Sony are.
