60 of 365 · most liked firstIf you have the complete edition, you do not need this one. With the same hardware, the FPS drops significantly. Yes, the quality might be better, but the performance is awful. Even in HFW (240FPS) I have better performance than here (70-90). This is just ridiculous. Rather play the original game.

(Unless you own a PS controller) It looks great and you can tell there is a big quality jump from the base game, but there are so many audio bugs present. I'm assuming this is because the game is optimized for a playstation, not a PC. You can tell that a lot of the inaudible/quiet sounds are supposed to be heard off of the controller. If there is a fix to this I'd love to know because it is extremely annoying and in my opinion, makes the game near unplayable.

neutral · AI labelView post →So I'm guilty of picking this game up because it was one of those highly touted PlayStation exclusives I'd hear people talk about that finally came to PC. I didn't expect much, and if I'm completely honest, I was assuming the game would be a bit basic. After 5 hours of benchmarking only for me to realize I put my gpu in the wrong slot, I finally played and let me tell you, I did not realize how sci-fi this story was. I mean, the wild robots roaming the world would've been my first hint, but as…

However, I experienced many glitches where Aloy/ machines/ enemies will get stuck in terrain assets (rocks, plants, buildings etc), along with some missing objects causing Carja guards to walk on air. I had to force quit the game twice because Aloy got stuck in terrain during combat and could not move. Not game-breaking, but definitely annoying as I never encountered…

The world design is stunning and incredibly fun to explore, and the combat kept me hooked the entire time. But honestly we need to talk about the Decima Engine man what an absolute beast! The level of detail they managed to cram into this game while keeping it perfectly optimized is mind blowing. I played this on a GTX 1650, and it ran incredibly well. If you are worried…

neutral · AI labelView post →To preface this review, Horizon Zero Dawn is a fantastic game, in my top 3 of all time for sure, however, as much as I'd like to recommend the remaster due to how visually stunning it is with the engine and features from Forbidden West, I cannot. This port is not stable, In my earlier review i mentioned that in the 6 hours of playtime i had, 2.5 of them was troubleshooting amid kernel level crashes every 10-15 minutes, I have managed to solve that issue (no thanks to playstation/nixxies support…

neutral · AI labelView post →Original game was stunning. This one is even more, worth playing in an OLED monitor for a full awesome experience. The only downside is that musics are broken... They would stop suddenly on cutscenes, exploration or combat, randomly, no other sound issues, sound keeps working, just the ongoing music goes off... Which is VERY bad for game ambience, as the OST is one of the best ever.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This has to be the most pointless and unnecessary remaster of all time. Why did it need this? The original looks amazing as it is. I finished that in January 24 so a bit under 2 years ago. Since starting the remaster, it just doesn't look any better to me, it looks great but I am no more impressed than I was playing the original for the first time. Maybe if I started up the original and ran around in that for a while I would appreciate the differences more, but what is the point in a remaster…

neutral · AI labelView post →I would really like to recommend this game. The original is a fantastic game and the remaster is great in many ways except for one critical issue that is very distracting: LOD pop-in near the player. This issue has persisted through all of the patches and is completely unaffected by graphical settings. For a game where moving through natural areas is 95% of the game it's incredibly distracting to see constant assets swaps directly in front of Aloy.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a huge fan of HZD it is bitterly disappointing to post a negative review for the remastered version. But it really comes a across as nothing more than a pointless cash grab. There is no RT support, and texture and LOD pop in is wildly distracting on maximum graphics settings (the developers even tried to argue it wasn't possible to fix, like seriously?). It's a challlenge to overcome the smearing and shimmering as you move through the world, and I was forced to use Nvidia's AA solution for…

One of those games that you experience rarely. Easy 10/10. If you are here reading the section wondering if you should play it, just do it.

positive · AI labelView post →In a sea of AAA slop we have to return to games that are almost a decade old to remember why video games as an art form are so valid. Truly a rare 10/10 game even with its flaws, the gameplay and story and writing are all so incredible that they just push each other up.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing game but the Steam Deck verified rating is a bit off; The game can get 30fps on the steam deck but in some busy areas with lots of particles or foliage the framerate tanks significantly. Zero Dawn Complete Edition would offer a much better experience if you want to play this game on Steam Deck.
