There are many big games on the way in 2022 and we are getting one early into the year with the PlayStation’s Horizon series getting a sequel in Horizon Forbidden West.

Any nerves that the game may not live up to what has come before it should have been put to rest now as the game has been getting brilliant reviews from numerous places. And while we wait for the game to be in our hands, we can have a gander at what trophies await us.

And in what is sure to be good news for many, difficulty does not come into it when you are hunting for trophies so you do not have to be a gaming wizard to have an eye on that platinum prize – some of us do prefer a more casual experience!

Here are all the trophies in Horizon Forbidden West.

How long would it take to platinum Horizon Forbidden West?

If you stick to story difficulty and focus on the trophies and story only, so ignoring all the side quests you can get lost in, you’re looking at around 30 hours depending on your skills.

To tick everything off that the game has to offer while still getting the trophies will double that time to around 60 hours.

Horizon Forbidden West trophy list

First things first, there are 11 trophies that you get just from playing through the game. As for what they are, well, they are hidden for now, and considering the names will likely be spoiler-filled, we’ll keep them under wraps too.

But we can share more details on the rest and here they are – all trophies are bronze unless said otherwise.

There is also the standard and sure to be sought-after platinum trophy for collecting every single one of the others – it is aptly named All Trophies Obtained.
