But Zelda...:)

 

I'm loving the game so far, one of my favorite ps4 exclusives, and if it maintains its high level of quality, it might just become my favorite (Bloodborne still has a death grip on me for now). The combat is among the most tense and exciting I've played in a game, and the story is surprisingly interesting. I don't know if I would say it's a masterpiece just yet (though so far it does feel like Guerilla's masterpiece) but it's easily one of the best games I've played this generation.

I agree, it has a great story but the gameplay is the best I've played in recent time, can't think of a game with better gameplay. Honestly baffled how it's not a 90+ game.
And I think it also has to do with the enemies. That's why the combat is so dynamic. The destructible parts is what makes it awesome.

EDIT: Just thought of Bloodborne because of above post but I still think it's better than Soulsborne gameplay.

I still need to play it but im really happy seeing so many people enjoying the game a lot even calling it masterpiece, im sure i will enjoy it a lot i just need to finish Berseria first but i cant rush it since thats another great game im enjoying a lot.

Those 4 mixed reviews really stole it the chance of having a very decent 90+ score. :(



its my game of the Gen, literally can't believe how good it is

I would agree. Yes.



It has the best combat that I haved played since Bloodborne.



Started it recently, fantastic gane thus far. I was worried, coming off Witcher 3 I was going to have some open world fatigue or be underwhelmed by the setting / plot, but all it did was numb me to the sight of freaky little kid faces.

I agree. Part of my love for Bloodborne is that I'm a nut for Lovecraft so the setting earns it a lot of points, but Horizon's combat is certainly more fluid and more fun, in my opinion. 



It does have a great combat, so many tools to mix up the way you hunt, it never gets old.
