They’re among the most awe-inspiring creatures I’ve seen in any game. These magnificent leviathans more or less work like walking versions of Far Cry’s antenna towers, uncovering areas of the map once you clamber up and hack their satellite skulls. Most captivating of all? Those moments where you crane the camera skywards to admire a lumbering Tallneck leisurely stomping around a set perimeter. ![]() The next, you might witness a group of smaller machines scurrying out of the path of a deadly Ravager, as Horizon’s three-ton puma sniffs around for its next likely mechanised meal. One moment you might observe jittery packs of elk-like Broadheads munching on knee high grass, because apparently robots need to eat too. Well, if you can call a 45-foot android crocodile slithering into a lake natural. Like the odd magic moment where you come across a wild stallion playfully rolling around in the morning dew of Red Dead Redemption’s wetlands, Horizon’s beasts can enthrall with the same style of naturalistic behaviour. And maybe finding some cool new threads for Aloy, too.It’s also fascinating to see these mechanical wonders simply interact with their environment when they think you’re not looking. There’s even a healthy amount of the map still covered in fog that I need to explore, and I fully expect I’ll be spending several dozen more hours across the Forbidden West, hunting down every last vestige of the old world. Amusingly, in my 42 hours, I’ve only completed about 42% of all of Forbidden West’s objectives, and it appears I haven’t even found one type of sidequest, as well as one type of collectable. I did a healthy amount of side quests in that time, trying out almost every type of optional objective, taking on a few missions from interesting characters, and occasionally exploring the land for animal pelts and machine parts to upgrade my equipment, outfits, and pouches. My time with Horizon Forbidden West’s main campaign came to an end just shy of 42 hours at level 35 going into the final story mission. So, 40 hours down, probably another 40 to go! Jonathan Dornbush, Senior Editor, Features My map is still chock-full of side quests, bandit camps, cauldrons, Tallnecks. Now that I've completed the main story, my notebook tells me that I have a game completion of 38%, and I believe. The side quests in Forbidden West can vary in length, but most would agree they are pretty long and I completed 10 of them by the time I rolled credits. I, of course, did quite a few side activities here and there, and sometimes full-stopped my progress altogether to concentrate on making sure I had the most up to date weapons and armor, even going as far as travelling around the world to hunt down machines and wildlife to upgrade said equipment. On normal difficulty, I rolled credits on Horizon Forbidden West after about 38 hours. I am only a few trophies away from the platinum though, which is reasonably attainable and should hopefully pop any day now. ![]() I still have plenty to do as well with my map littered with icons and my game completion hovering around 60%. ![]() Since then, I’ve put another 20 hours into the Forbidden West and am still discovering new things every day - whether that be new, deadlier versions of machines or engrossing new stories and the interesting characters that tell them. This isn’t something I wouldn't necessarily recommend though and would encourage levelling up to prepare Aloy with as big a health bar as possible. Despite all of this I still went into the last mission two levels underpowered which made it a slight struggle, scraping through the final fight by the skin of my teeth. This included doing 10 lengthy side quests along the way as well as solving a few relic ruins, scaling all of the Tallnecks, and quite a few rounds of Machine Strike as well. Horizon Forbidden West's main story took me 32 hours to complete. Once you've finished the game yourself, be sure to submit your times on How Long To Beat and see how your time compares!
