Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 25, 2026)

Most players agree the open world adventure looks stunning, and Horizon Forbidden West™ Complete Edition scores 76.6 from 459 analyzed reviews.

👍 Strengths

189 reviews praise the visuals, describing gorgeous graphics and remarkable detail, and the most upvoted says the 4K image makes you forget reality. Visuals & Sound ranks 110th of 1249 and appears in 65% of analyzed reviews. 48 enjoy the story, citing deep lore, character development and a plot that feels like a real continuation. 41 say they enjoy the main game overall, and some call it a bigger and better sequel. Content Volume ranks 519th of 1351.

👎 Where it falls short

57 reviews criticize the story or writing, with some calling the expansion poorly written and others disliking villains, tone or an ending that sets up a sequel. Story & World ranks 854th of 1096. 47 find the controls clunky, as platforming fails to register inputs and a few say bow hits feel weak. 32 say side quests and fetch tasks grow repetitive and turn into a slog, and a few find new minigames gimmicky. Gameplay ranks 836th of 1396, and Pricing & Fairness ranks 794th of 1399.
