Previously, due to the exclusive factor of PlayStation, the Horizon series of games has not been released on the PC side for a long time, and the first work "Horizon Zero Dawn" was also belatedly released on the PC side after 4 years of exclusive use on PS. Recently, there is another work of the horizon "Horizon: Desperate West" on PC,The game has been officially released on March 21st,The price in the country is 414 yuan。
However, there are still some differences between "Horizon Forbidden West" on the PC side and the PlayStation version, and in terms of picture quality, the PC side is even more amazing. On PS5, Horizon Zero Dawn is actually the ceiling of picture quality. On PC, the game team has achieved richer environmental details, water rendering, and lighting effects, and the game settings are more diverse, providing a variety of presets such as very low, low, medium, high, and very high, involving texture quality, shadow quality, hair, water quality, cloud quality, lens flare, and other detail settings.
In addition, the game also supports a number of black technologies, such as NVIDIA's latest DLSS 3, NVIDIA DLAA, and NVIDIA Reflex technologies, which are all available, so that a single RTX 40 series graphics card can fully enjoy the performance bonus, so that the frame rate is no longer a bottleneck for the game.
Horizon Forbidden West takes place in a region called Forbidden West, where every inch of soil exudes danger and mystery. This area is full of unknown dangers and challenges, and our protagonist Aloy, who is also our character in the game, will face unprecedented trials and challenges in this unknown area.
One thing to say, the story of "Horizon: Forbidden West" is obviously grander than its predecessor, and the picture quality is also a real improvement. Although the map is not as large as the previous game, it is still quite amazing from the trial experience during this time. The variety of scenes and exquisite details are far beyond imagination.
From dense forests to roaring shores, from desolate ruins to towering mechanical behemoths, the game's production team is a master of ingenuity. Each region has its own unique ecology and story, as if you are in a living world. The game also introduces new mechanics such as free climbing and underwater exploration, so that players can not only experience the progress of the story, but also experience the fun of exploration and adventure.
But what I like the most is that each character in the game has their own story, and each story is not groundless, but closely related to other characters, and their stories are intertwined like silk to make up this colorful game world. In the game, you may be heartbroken for the declining tribes, and you can also lend a helping hand to the travelers who have been attacked by machinery...... With a variety of gameplay and stunning graphics, I believe this game will not disappoint you.
Finally, let's take a look at the hardware requirements for this game, the minimum requirements for the game are i3-8100 / GTX 1650, the recommended requirements are i5-8600 / RTX 3060, and if you are looking for 4K/60fps/maximum quality, the requirements are i7-11700 / RTX 4080. In addition, the game requires 150GB of hard disk space, which must be met by an SSD.
From the configuration requirements, it can be seen that the requirements of this game are actually not low, and here are some cost-effective hardware configurations recommended for everyone, whether it is playing "Horizon: Forbidden West" or the next various new games, you can definitely have a good performance.
