![]() ![]() After all, according to the PlayStation Game Size Twitter account, Forbidden West will take up around 80 GB of PlayStation hard drive space. Of course, just because the game should launch on February 18th at midnight in your time zone, that doesn’t mean that everyone can start playing as soon as the clock strikes midnight. As such, gamers in certain regions may want to be especially aware of potential spoilers in the hours leading up to the game’s official unlock time in their area. Horizon fans in the US might have to wait 18 hours or more, depending on their time zone, after New Zealanders start before they can play Horizon Forbidden West. If that suspected schedule proves to be accurate, then gamers in New Zealand will get a significant head start on the rest of the world since February 18th technically begins earlier for them than it does anywhere else. That kind of staggered release schedule often sounds fair, but it’s worth noting that it does open up additional opportunities for spoilers. While Sony and Guerrilla Games are tight-lipped regarding the exact time of launch, the general consensus (and context clues gathered from the release times of previous PlayStation Studios titles) is that the game will release at midnight in whatever your time zone may be. Sony and Guerrilla Games later released a joint blog post that revealed the sequel wouldn’t release until February 18, 2022, and, despite some concerns that the game could be delayed further in order to avoid releasing it in the middle of a packed release schedule, the companies are sticking to that date. Originally, Horizon Forbidden West was supposed to launch in 2021, but it sadly proved to be one of the many games scheduled to release that year that was delayed to 2022 and beyond. Now, the momentous occasion of Horizon Forbidden West‘s long-awaited release is just around the corner. Their prayers were partially answered with the DLC The Frozen Wilds, but many in the new franchise’s ever-growing army of fans still wanted a “proper” sequel. ![]() They claim “it’s a game contrasts” where side quests are great but too simple, and where the complexity of its combat can be ignored for far simpler solutions such as a rain of explosive spearheads.When Horizon Zero Dawn was released in 2017, gamers were blown away by the ambitious open-world title and quickly started begging for more. On the lower side of the spectrum, Stevivor has given it a 6.5. IGN has also given it a 9/10 because it “is an absolute blast and fantastic showcase for the power of the PS5”. Screen Rant has given it a high 9/10 as it’s “packed to the brim with fascinating characters and countless pleasures that will take players many hours to completely devour”. Gamingbolt has given Sony’s sequel a perfect 10/10 because its “captivating story, gorgeous open world, and thrilling combat make for one of the most uniquely memorable games in recent memory”. This positions it as the highest rated game of February 2022 so far as it sits just above Total War Warhammer 3 which has a score of 87. ![]() The review roundup for Horizon Forbidden West is extremely positive as it currently sits at 89 on Metacritic. ![]() View Tweet Horizon Forbidden West review roundup ![]()
