    The Frozen Wilds is more of Horizon Zero Dawn, and that is in no way a bad thing. The expansion offers some closure on certain story threads whilst telling a self-contained tale that’s perfect for this ruined world you find yourself in. There’s little in terms of mechanical upgrades to the game, but Horizon never needed that in the first place...If you’re craving 15-20 hours adventuring in a world crafted by artisan game designers, you can’t go wrong with The Frozen Wilds, which is easily one of the best DLC packages on offer this year.

    If somebody had asked me a few months ago how to make Horizon Zero Dawn even better, I probably would have said "just give me more". That's exactly what I got with The Frozen Wilds. My biggest criticism of The Frozen Wilds is that the story does not match the main game.

    As much as I loved all the activities that Wilds provided on the side, Thunder’s Drum continued to call my name. Centering the world around the mountain provides compelling motivation to keep pushing through the main quest. I was equal parts interested in advancing the central storyline and in exploring all the side content that Wilds had to offer. That’s a rare, and joyful, feat for an open world game to achieve. Wilds pulls it off.

    Horizon's DLC Frozen Wilds feels like a very natural extension of Zero Dawn. The new snowy location markedly separates it from the rest of the game, and powerful new gear gives you more than enough drive to discover the region's secrets. It's not a dramatic step forward – but if you loved Zero Dawn, then this is a snow-capped version with more addictive, beautiful and barmy adventures in a world you'll happily be buried in for hours. Roll on the sequel!

    This addon can defend its existence with its head raised. The Frozen Wilds add on comes only with little improvements and a weaker story than the original game. But it does not lose the excellent gameplay and in 10-15hrs gametime it offers a selection of the best.

    Don’t venture into the Frozen Wilds expecting clues as to the nature of Horizon Zero Dawn 2, then - in truth this is barely HZD v1.2. Instead, revel in a sizeable single-player, story-driven expansion that harks back to a time before season passes, loot boxes and downloadable dress-up kits, and which also provides an excellent excuse to revisit one of the year’s most enjoyable games.

    The Frozen Wilds introduces many poorly-designed elements which make it a lesser experience than its brilliant base-game.

    Great DLC. Some challenges added, not too difficult though. A lot of snow. A LOT!

    DLC比本体好玩太多，还引入了解谜的内容，支线任务含金量也更高剧情也更扎实，多了新的武器和怪物，人物表情也更丰富了。如果续作是基于这个DLC的玩法的话，我还是很期待的。DLC比本体好玩太多，还引入了解谜的内容，支线任务含金量也更高剧情也更扎实，多了新的武器和怪物，人物表情也更丰富了。如果续作是基于这个DLC的玩法的话，我还是很期待的。

Pros: DLC Is challenging (it's like playing hzd on ultra hard to me), new weapons are interesting, setting looks gorgeous, side quest are fun. The So-So:, hard to see sometimes during night and snow, challenge can feel overwhelming sometimes compared to original. The Cons: story mirrors that of original in almost every way, only two new monsters, banuk aren't as interesting as they look. To end, it's a good dlc but treat this as a by the book dlc, and not expect anything mind blowing.… Expand

    Un Gran DLC

    Ya compartí antes mis impresiones acerca del juego principal: Horizon Zero Dawn. En resumen fue un 10.

    En esta expansión, no obstante, no puedo decir lo mismo porque carece de varios de los aspectos que hacen del juego principal una gran obra: la expansión se desarrolla enteramente en las montañas nevadas y, por lo tanto, no podemos disfrutar de la variedad de paisajes, enemigos y bestias que en la trama principal son tan variados.
    Puede sonar simple, pero es realmente importante puesto que todo se vuelve algo repetitivo y cansino.

    Fuera de eso es una gran expansión, con la misma gran jugabilidad, gráficos y soundtrack, además de nuevas bestias y modificaciones para variar. Sumado a eso, sigue los eventos de la trama principal y tiene una buena duración por lo que es un buen costo-beneficio.    … Expand
