Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered

“A visual marvel for a seven-year-old game, and game design still holds up with some dated aspects.”

“Horizon Zero Dawn is a game Sony really wants you to love. This update is technically impressive on every level. The upgrade price is fair, and kudos to Nixxes for not just upping the resolution and framerate, there is a TON of work done here around the entire world. If you enjoy Aloy’s adventures, this is a no-brainer.”

“While still very much the same game, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is gorgeous in every way, improving on the original in different ways.”

“By almost every metric, Horizon Zero Dawn is a classic action RPG. For anyone who missed it, the Remastered edition is definitely the version to pick up. For those who already own it, the upgrade to Remastered is a reasonable $10 and at least on PS5, PS4 cloud saves work just fine. If the new and improved visuals inspire folks to play the game, or play it again, that’s a win for everyone.”

“If the game itself has lost some freshness and relevance compared to today's open-worlds, Nixxes and Gueriilla Games' graphic operation fully hits the mark.”

“Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered might not have been a wholly necessary overhaul, but there's plenty to like about it, from greater visual depths and details, to the majorly improved dialogues.”

“As good to play as the first Horizon Zero Dawn, as beautiful to look at as the last Horizon Forbidden West. This is how this Remastered can be summarized, which keeps the gamplay of the original intact by increasing the graphic rendering thanks to the greater hardware resources available. In particular, Aloy and the other characters are now much more expressive and move in a world in which nature is lush and anthropic structures stand solemnly in the midst of volumetric effects with a realistic day / night cycle. Those who have recently played the original may not want to spend another forty hours on the Remastered, for new recruits it is one of the best ARPGs around.”

“Horizon Zero Dawn is very much one of Sony's standout projects of the past ten years, and this superb remaster by Nixxes puts it among the best looking games on the PS5. While the side-quests and supporting content don't quite match up to sequel Forbidden West, the more focused story is arguably better than its successor, and it's presented almost flawlessly in this remastered format.”

“A worthy upgrade that brings it closer to the fidelity of its sequel, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is the best version of a great sci-fi RPG. Guerrilla Games and Nixxes Software have turned this remaster skeptic into a true believer.”

“Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is a visual modernization conducted with skill, which in graphic terms brings the experience closer to that offered by the sumptuous Horizon Forbidden West. From the appearance of the protagonist, to the rendering of the dialogues with the characters, to the lighting and vegetation, the developers have kept their promises.”

“It was a pleasure to return to this game after years without touching it, and it became clear to me that there are certain products in the industry that will take a long time to feel outdated, this is one of them. It was a gem in 2017 and continues to be in 2024, a must play for those who just bought a PS5.”

“In itself, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered fulfills its mission: fully exploit the power of the PS5 and PC to make the original game more beautiful than ever and on the same level as the magnificent Forbidden West. However, with the exception of the full support of the DualSense controller, we can regret the absence of new features and improvements to the gameplay. The upgrade from PS4 to PS5 with three convincing graphic modes at 10 euros may be worth the cost, but the same cannot really be said about buying the Remaster full price or on a PC version graphically extremely solid, even to this day.”

“Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is an undeniable upgrade over the original game with even-better graphics than before.”

“Nixxes and Guerilla Games have made an already beautiful game even better. If you haven't yet experienced the origin of Aloy's story, then do yourself a favor and play Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered!”

“Passionate fans looking for an excuse to replay Aloy’s debut adventure with lovely visuals and a fresh list of trophies will find this remaster a no-brainer, but for a more sceptical soul like myself, it’s hard to look past the lack of quality of life improvements that only serve to highlight how far things have come since Horizon Zero Dawn first arrived, and how hard it’s become to look back.”

“Of course, credit goes to Guerrilla Games for writing a narrative and building out gameplay that remains interesting and engaging seven years on. At $49.99 for new players and $9.99 for owners of the PS4 or PC versions, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered’s overhauled visuals feel like a steal.”

“While it is true that we are facing a completely unnecessary remaster, the different possibilities to enjoy it are quite accessible. The visual improvement is indisputable, and it is gratifying to be able to play the original installment with the technical section of the sequel. In addition, if we take into account that the remaster includes the expansion "The Frozen Wilds" with new areas, weapons, enemies and characters, they make this remaster a product of greater value and interest than other remasters such as Until Dawn or The Last of Us.”

“Nixxes has once again completed a quality work, making a game from 2017, very beastly yes, look like a current PS5 and PC release. Not everyone will appreciate it because it doesn't change the gameplay at all and focuses on visual details, but you only have to put on the original to see that there is much more to it than meets the eye.”
