Horizon Forbidden West PS4 follows Aloy west into a ruined America of red-sand deserts, drowned cities and dense jungle, hunting the source of a blight that is killing everything that grows — and facing machines far larger than anything in the first game.
Horizon Forbidden West PS4: Table of Contents
Aloy Heads West
Six months after Zero Dawn, a plague is spreading across the land and the terraforming system meant to prevent exactly this has failed. Aloy crosses into the Forbidden West to find a backup of GAIA, and runs into the Tenakth clans, a group of technologically advanced outsiders, and answers about the Old World that reframe everything the first game established. The supporting cast is much larger this time, with a home base at the Base and companions who join for their own reasons and stay for the story.
Bigger Machines, Better Hunting
Combat remains the heart of it: study a machine with your Focus, identify which components are vulnerable and which can be knocked off and turned against it, then choose ammunition to match. New machines include the enormous Tremortusk, the aquatic Tideripper, the airborne Sunwing and the towering Slitherfang, and each has removable armour, exposed tanks and elemental weaknesses. Traps, tripwires, elemental arrows and the new Valor Surge abilities give you far more options than before, and hard fights genuinely feel like planned hunts.
A World Built to Be Climbed and Swum
Traversal opens up dramatically. The Pullcaster grapple pulls you up ledges and rips obstacles apart, the Shieldwing glider turns any high point into a launch pad, and a full underwater layer with a diving mask lets you explore sunken cities and reefs. Handholds are marked but the world is designed to be read, not followed. Side content is unusually strong — Cauldrons for machine overrides, Tallnecks, Rebel Camps, Relic Ruins puzzles and the strategy board game Machine Strike all hold up on their own.
How It Runs on PS4
Guerrilla built the PS4 version alongside the PS5 one rather than cutting it down afterwards, and it holds up well — a stable 30fps with the full world, full machine roster and all story content intact. Textures and foliage density are reduced against the PS5 version, and loading is longer, but nothing is missing from the game itself. Sony also offered a paid PS4 to PS5 upgrade path, so buying the disc does not lock you out of the newer version later.
Who Should Buy It
This is one of the best open-world games on PS4 and an easy recommendation if you liked Zero Dawn, or if you want a large single-player adventure with combat that asks you to think. Playing Zero Dawn first is strongly advised — Forbidden West assumes you know who GAIA, HADES and Sylens are. Players who dislike long open-world games with heavy side content should know this one runs well past forty hours.
