I've enjoyed the first couple of hours and I find myself for whatever reason surprisingly excited to jump into this one. I guess maybe it was a good first couple hours or something, but I'm actually pretty excited to fully engage with this one.

Forbidden West is a great game, an excellent story. It is thoroughly competent in every way. To achieve its super hit status, it needed one talent above all. It needed to know how to give the people what they want. People want sincerity. People want heart. And in that regard, it excelled beyond all the money that reflects off of every pixel.

I don't score games but if I did Horizon Forbidden West would be a solid nine and a half

In a sea of absolute bland mush, Horizon Forbidden West rises above as something truly rejuvenating and vital. If you have a Sony console you owe it to yourself to play this.

Horizon Forbidden West is a monster. Massive, requires all manner of strategies and tactics to beat on the higher difficulties, and at times has a few bugs to prove it. I will say this, it's worth getting absolutely, but be aware of those bugs.
