Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds Reviews
Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds offers more of what I loved in the base game. There's an amazing new location, fantastic story and gameplay which continues to be fun. Thanks to the new locales, and expanded colours that feature in the world, the game looks more stunning than ever. If you enjoyed the base game, you will love what is on offer here. The Frozen Wilds is a fantastic victory lap on the way to a well deserved sequel.
Horizon Zero Dawn's first and final expansion sees our beloved Aloy heading into an unforgiving new land to fight a rising menace
If Horizon: Zero Dawn hooked you with its concept and its wonderful approach to an open-world Action RPG, then The Frozen Wilds will sink those hooks even deeper.
With challenging fights, great characters and stunning scenery, The Frozen Wilds offers more of everything we liked Horizon Zero Dawn for.

The Frozen Wilds offers a new and condensed mystery that hits most of the same notes players loved about the main game
It's great to have some new content for Horizon, and this piece of DLC certainly does it justice.
The same tension is elicited when confronted by an imposing mechanical threat, and wonder is experienced when you round a corner and make another stunning discovery. If you’ve been looking for another reason to get back into Horizon: Zero Dawn, then you’ve got the best possible excuse right here.
It's been a long wait, but Aloy's new adventure into The Frozen Wilds is every bit as fulfilling as the main game.
A sizable new adventure for Aloy in a frozen wilderness that gives Horizon fans more of what they love.
Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds is a very good expansion to the core game, with a new region to explore, new quests, new activities and a new level cap to reach for Aloy.

The Frozen Wilds is a great expansion to Horizon Zero Dawn that feature a new area, a new storyline and new equipment for Aloy that add to the main game up to 20 more hours of gameplay and amazing places to discover. The expansion comes at a fair price that allows anybody who loved the original game to adventure once again in the fascinating sci-fi world made by Guerrilla. You cannot miss this.

Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds is a very good DLC that tells a new story and broades the scope of the main one. With many missions to accomplish and a brand new location in the frozen lands of the Great North, it is a must buy extra content.

Made for those who have devoured the whole of Horizon: Zero Dawn, this DLC isn't just about upping your game. It's a rich expansion of Aloy's world, with flashes of comedic brilliance and narrative depth.
Frozen Wilds' wintry wasteland looks awe-inspiring, but its story breeds the same disappointment as a melted snowman on Christmas morning.
Tougher combat scenarios are most of what it brings to the table. If you hoped the first (maybe only) Horizon Zero Dawn expansion would expound on the game's ending, you'll be disappointed.
The Frozen Wilds gives a generous boost to Horizon: Zero Dawn's big and beautiful open world.
Overall, "The Frozen Wilds" gives one more taste of the game's amazing combat, world and character animation to players like myself who loved Horizon (whether it was straight away or after coming back to it). It's a pity that Guerrilla has stated this will be the game's only piece DLC as it lays even more hints for a greater story in this world.
The Frozen Wilds stands next to the base game, it doesn't surpass it. If that sounds like something you want, I'd recommend it. If not, this won't make the game any better for you. For me, I enjoy Horizon: Zero Dawn, so a little bit more is right up my alley.
This 15-hour expansion cements Horizon Zero Dawn as an impressive and memorable new title that holds its own in a year filled with quality RPGs.
The Frozen Wilds enhances an already excellent game. The improved dialogue for a number of the characters shows that Guerrilla have clearly taken onboard the criticism levelled at Zero Dawn, while the additional enemy creatures are welcome and make the game feel well rounded and complete. I really enjoyed returning to the world of Horizon Zero Dawn and simply can't wait for the next game.
