Horizon Journey

I had high hopes for Horizon Journey, but the Early Access experience has been extremely disappointing. The game had several game-breaking bugs right from the start. An update in March fixed a few smaller issues, but since then, there has been little to no communication from the developers. At this point, the game appears to have been abandoned. Unless development resumes and the major problems are addressed, I strongly recommend avoiding it. Do not buy as of August 1, 2026.

Game is bugged in basics. If the developer has abandoned the game then it seems they don't bother putting it out of Early Access to keep getting money from unsuspecting customers. Feels more like an Early Access scam setup. Steam should remove the games from Early Access automatically if the developer doesn't push fixes and update at least twice a month. This will help customers to avoid wasting money and discourage scammers to rake in money long time from Early Access.

I really wanted to be able to leave a positive review here, but unfortunately, I cannot. I'll start off by saying that it has improved since the playtest, but that's not exactly a high bar, and a few fundamental issues still exist. Movement is frankly, awful, with view bob being unable to be turned off and jumping having this really weird pause at the top making it feel really odd to move around, and entering the first Hub a challenge purely because of the jump needed to get up to the door. True to the usual form of Early Access Open World Survival games, the default sensitivity was insanely high (like, we're talking move the mouse 1mm and do a 1080° spin) and the awful music is set to max volume (a setting that is completely ignored in the New Game flow). Visually, it's okay, although the framerate is default locked to 30fps, and it shows, even in menus. The lack of hardware mouse support leads to laggy and imprecise mouse movements. Increasing the framerate does clear this up somewhat. Even at the default High setting, I was not able to break about 75fps, on my fairly decent machine (specs included). Setting it to Ultra gives very little improvement in terms of fidelity, but t…

Really looking forward to playing and watching this game grow, a lot of potential and I think the devs will do it justice, if you are like me and enjoy watching an early access game grow I would suggest this one! :D

Giving a thumbs up due to the constant updates, feedback and communication. Its not perfect but the developers are actively working to make it so.

Has great potential. I look forward to seeing what and where the devs go with this.
