In our Horizon Forbidden West review, we scored the latest Sony exclusive a 9/10, making it one of the best PS5 games to date.

Not only is it a technical showcase on both PS4 and PS5 (see our technical comparison) the sequel also flexes a much-improved focus on characters while cleverly reshuffling a number of gameplay elements. Here’s what Tuffcub had to say:

Horizon Forbidden West improves upon Zero Dawn in almost every aspect. The story is particularly well written and ebbs and flows from air punching highs to dark, horrific lows. Like later Jurassic Park movies it suffers from the fact that we’ve already seen massive robotic dinosaurs on our TVs, the wow factor is reduced, and that the puzzles, crafting, and RPG elements could have been lifted from any number of games. Even so, it’s still a spectacular robo-beast smack down and thoroughly enjoyable to play.
