Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds Reviews
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.
The Frozen Wilds offers a new and condensed mystery that hits most of the same notes players loved about the main game
The Frozen Wilds arrives in time to petition for a spot on Game of the Year lists. The expansion accomplishes this goal with ease, rehashing what worked the first time around. Sure, The Frozen Wilds doesn't add much new, and shares Horizon's flaws, but the expansion operates fine when taken as simply more of a great thing.
The Frozen Wilds gives a generous boost to Horizon: Zero Dawn's big and beautiful open world.
It's been a long wait, but Aloy's new adventure into The Frozen Wilds is every bit as fulfilling as the main game.
Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds is a short, but substantial expansion for an already great game. It doesn't reinvent the game in any major way, but offers a few excellent hours in a world that players have come to love.
Many people's game of the year will likely be a third person action adventure boasting strong RPG leanings, a player character for the ages and a wealth of gameplay innovations, which also served as the perfect showcase for the new console technology it launched upon.
Horizon Zero Dawn delivers a timely reminder of why it should be a Game of the Year candidate with The Frozen Wilds. This sizeable selection of snowy quests expands upon an already excellent campaign with a decent new storyline and plenty of fresh exposition. While it is, by its very nature, more of the same, it's hard to complain when the foundations are already so strong.
The Frozen Wilds extends the already fantastic Horizon experience into a region worth exploring, but uneven difficulty and only a few surprises await.
The Frozen Wilds expands the Horizon Zero Dawn's gameplay driven philosophy to a brand new area, packed with tons of action and a new questline. The DLC offers a solid 10 hours more of the same experience, while Guerrilla Game's open world still shines after nine months in terms of breathtaking visuals and compelling gameplay.

Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds does not start a revolution and has a pretty weak storyline but it offers enough new and diverse content that all fans of mechanical dinosaurs wanting to return to this world after defeating Hades should play it without hesitation.

The Frozen Wilds feels a bit less unique compared to the base game but if you can ignore that you will find a lot to like and love about Guerrilla Games' latest effort.
Horizon Zero Dawn remains one of the best games of 2017 and The Frozen Wilds complements it with a decent chunk of new content.
A gorgeous expansion that emphasises Horizon's strengths - it may feel a little too familiar at times, but the core gameplay is as solid as ever.
As DLCs go, this does the expected such as adding a new area, new skills and enemies and weapons, but where it truly succeeds is in the characters and plot and situations it introduces, which add a lot to the experience and complements the game nicely.
