We gave it a 9/10 in our Horizon Forbidden West PS5...

British problems

News Horizon Forbidden West Is Getting Review Bombed on PS5, PS4 for No Reason
0/10, apparently
It wouldn’t be a major video game release without gamers exhibiting embarrassing behaviour.

Hands On Don't Sleep on Machine Strike, Horizon Forbidden West's Chess-Like Board Game
Putting all the pieces together
While Horizon Zero Dawn was a wonderful debut entry from Guerrilla Games — a studio that was entering all-new territory with an open world action RPG — it did have its flaws.
