Horizon Games Ranked: Every Horizon Game From Worst to Best

Horizon Games Ranked

The Horizon franchise quickly became one of PlayStation’s most successful new IPs.

Combining open-world exploration, sci-fi storytelling, and robot dinosaur combat, the series introduced a fresh universe with the hunter Aloy at its center.

Here’s how the Horizon games rank from good to best.

3. Horizon Call of the Mountain

Horizon Call of the Mountain was designed as a showcase for PlayStation VR2.

The game offers stunning environments and immersive climbing mechanics.

However, it plays more like a guided VR experience than a full open-world adventure.

Still, it remains one of the most visually impressive VR titles released so far.

2. Horizon Forbidden West

Horizon Forbidden West expands nearly every aspect of the original game.

The map is larger, the machine designs are more complex, and underwater exploration adds a new dimension to gameplay.

The story continues Aloy’s mission to uncover the truth about Earth’s lost civilization.

It’s an impressive sequel — even if fighting giant robotic crocodiles occasionally becomes stressful.

1. Horizon Zero Dawn

Horizon Zero Dawn remains the defining entry in the series.

Its story about humanity’s collapse and rebirth is one of the most compelling sci-fi narratives in gaming.

The mystery surrounding Aloy’s origins and the ancient AI systems controlling the world drives the entire experience.

Even years after release, it still feels like one of PlayStation’s most ambitious adventures.

ConsolePulse Take

The Horizon franchise continues to grow with every release.

With its unique world, strong protagonist, and creative machine designs, it stands as one of the most exciting PlayStation series of the last decade.

And honestly, fighting robot dinosaurs never really gets old.
