    When you enter this mission, you will completely forget your main quest. This another world on it own. PS4 owner, this is no brainer. Horizon Zero Dawn + Frozen is a must buy

    I really enjoyed Horizon Zero Dawn and this DLC made me love the game even more. Playing the Frozen Wilds felt like the developers took everything that worked in the original game and tweaked it to be even more enjoyable. The new machines are super fun to fight, the quests compelling, and the environments are beautiful.

    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

    The Frozen Wilds DLC is great! The expansion introduces something I felt Zero Dawn lacked: some characters will accompany you during specific Quests.

The expansion introduces something I felt Zero Dawn lacked: some characters will accompany you during specific Quests. Which is totally new since you get used to going on Quests by yourself and only see other characters before or after completing them. In Frozen wilds you get some sort of coop play with other characters & they chat with you over things going on like gameplay narrative-driven games do, like TLOU, Uncharted, etc. I love it!

    On the downside, we all expected the lore to be expanded in this DLC, but we had to settle with Sylens and his past / motivations. It is not like the Frozen Wilds storyline does not add anything to the main story, It's nice to know more about the Banuk and Sylens, but I guess I was hoping for more.

    I really liked the snowy setting! sometimes, I will just pan the camera and appreciate the amount of details and love they put into this expansion. The new enemy types add some challenge to the game, they are really tough to take down.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Frozen Wilds is way more better than the standard edition. Cutscenes are way more better than the standard edition because on the standard edition, facial expression is sometimes a little bit off or not on the spot, characters will just stand in 1 spot or on a very awkward action. Map is very huge and very detailed as always. New machines are harder to defeat and it brings a great challenge for those players who want some challenges. New modifications are also been added and this can make a great changer for the gameplay. The story is so good that will give you some chills and questions that you will answer by yourself. Side quests, collectibles, hunting trials, etc are very small but it's okay since some of these are worth it to try out. Frozen Wilds is very worth it to buy and play… Expand

    I’d give this DLC a point higher than the base game. The base game was kinda short for me, so this is perfect. It added a lot more to it like the extra challenges and side missions. (Oh and, this gets a point higher too cause of the better facial animations and all.)

The landscape and graphics were and still are outstanding, the story was good, Aloy was a refreshing character who could hold her own and be a likable individual with her own thoughts and ideas, the machines and the approach of being a hunter on taking them down for the first few times ranged from cool to epic, and generally just had a interesting world to explore. The issues, like the uncanny valley of the NPCs and their unlikable nature aside from Sylens, the crude spear combat, weapons being very imbalanced and making others pointless and the general "originality" of the game's structure is very formulaic. I want to make this clear that despite these issues, the base game is a 9/10 for me and is an excellent game. I say this because The Frozen Wilds is definitely very good and is an expansion, but just barely. Let me list off the things I can critique and note my likes, dislikes and indifferences:

    Atmosphere: Still outstanding visuals. My particularly favorite moment visually is when it hits nighttime and the aurora lights and moon loom over head. The music is great, with some surprisingly 80s style techno music that actually fit better than expected.

    Enemies: My first disappointment. The Daemonic enemies are nothing but super Corrupted versions of regular enemies I have already defeated. Whats worse is that there are more of them in the game than the new enemy types. The Scorcher is like a Ravager but with a Mine launcher that is actually a challenge to beat (I'm saying it feels similar) and the Frost and Fireclaws are the only new inclusions and even the Fireclaws are already repeated in the same expansion. The Towers I dont count as enemies, they are nothing more than puzzles that you can turn off after you find a way to deactivate them. I felt the "new" enemies were lazily implemented. I understand you want to make it seem like it's an ecosystem but there is not enough where I feel is truly new. Still cool enemies to fight.

    Story: It's alright. It's essentially a glorified mini story that can be beaten in about 5 hours. I didn't really feel much for the characters and I felt the Fireclaw boss fight was great...until I found out I can fight more of them, instantly deflating a potentially great boss fight that I felt was the same issue as fighting HADES in the main game. It's serviceable and at least interesting, but clearly the main game story is superior.

    Side content: You do much of the same from the base game; hunt for collectibles, do side quests, etc. The standout quests I liked was with two women Banuk that hinted at a possible gay relationship and a tinker who wanted to get "looking glass" from a vault. The rest were fine but the problem is there is very little (4 side quests and a few other things) and I feel that, as a player who beat and did everything in the base game, THIS IS NOT ENDGAME CONTENT. This is strictly for those that are nearing the end and wanted to play this along the way.

    Weapons, Armors, Upgrades: The new weapons are a mix of old and new. The bows now have a charge effect that makes the shot deal more damage and three elemental weapons that take too much to refuel in my opinion and are not as good as those bows. The armors are visually interesting but my Shield Weaver wins the day as always. The Traveler skill tree is a interesting concept, but feels rushed. I hardly ever use a mount, so most of the upgrades feel pointless and the rest of the inclusions feel like Guerilla should have made as a patch like disassembling items for half the metal shards.

    Other notes: Your level can now go to 60, but it feels sort of pointless aside from the skill points as your health matters little against enemies really. The problems of the old game affect this one and it was irritating to see the unrealistic flailing characters and moving camera again. The bandit camp and fighting enemy humans still suck and don't feel really all that great to fight still. Bluegleam feels rewarding and great to earn the new weapons with it. CYAN is a really cool character.

    I still find The Frozen Wilds an expansion, but some issues I have hold it back from being excellent. It feels like it was more of a taste than a full thing. A theme I see in gamers now is game length equals value. I disagree; 15 hours for 15 dollars is not what I look for, rather the depth and value of the game's content itself. I was definitely engaged, enjoyed certain parts, but felt going through the motions mostly. A 7/10 to me is a good game or expansion that succeeds at what it does, provides an overall satisfying experience, but hits some dips and issues along the way that I can't help to feel is wasted potential. Here is how this goes: if you like/love the game, you should buy this and play it. If you are unsure/dislike/hate the game, then don't. It's more of the same, for better or worse.    … Expand

    From the cutting edge graphical wonders of actual displacement of snow when Aloy walks/slides/lands in it to the exhilarating and brutally difficult new machine foes I'm not sure what's not to like about the Frozen Wilds.

    The art direction is fantastic and so atmospheric with the whiteout blizzards and peaceful snowfall giving way to a stage of all natures colors where beautiful lighting effects is the star of the show. From the majestic blue light speckling the Banuk paths and settlements to the wonderful aurora borealis and countless stars in the sky at night, you can't help but be taken in by the mystical feel of it all......not to mention a story to match! The quests and characters were so charming and interesting, and diving into the Banuk culture and their Shamanic belief systems surrounding our(the players) and the human tribes most essential asset and source of life: The machines of Horizon.

    The detail of the world from the lore to the graphics and game mechanics are superb in design as well. In a snow storm it actually becomes almost silent in game(due to the snow absorbing most of the sound just as IRL) even going so far as to add a new running animation for Aloy when traversing (ankle deep or more) snow. A new graphical effect on outfits has also been added, where after a certain amount of time spent in the frigid Cut(a few min) you become dusted with snow/frost from head to toe. New water and snow effects, and a host of new particle effects with snow have also been added all of the above really cement the experience of a true arctic world.

    Thats to say nothing of the large strides made in game mechanics like adding customizable spears for Aloy with a host of different functions, and entire new Quality of Life skill tree centered around storage and machine mounts, to new special damage coils and protective coils to go with your new outfits the coils can actually be farmed outside the DLC as well!

    My only complaint is that there wont be more DLCs in the future. This was a perfect send off, although a bit shorter than what I would've have wanted(my appetite for this game is huge), there's still plenty of content to keep you happy for such longer than the mere 15 hours quoted.    … Expand

    Apparently the people who developed Frozen Wilds paid no attention whatsoever to what people -
    including me - liked about the original HZD. Sure, there's some exploration and story, but very little character development and you can totally forget about sneaking up on anything.

The machines are all hyper-aware and almost all too strong to be killed with a single silent attack. Instead you'll often find yourself in an open arena surrounded by several enemies you'd seen and maybe a few stalkers you hadn't. Fun. Then there are the $#@! boss fights. Machines that take a hundred hits for you to kill, but they can kill you with only two or three, plus they're super-agile and 100% focused on you. Any companions are absolutely useless either for doing damage or for drawing aggro. So it's run and gun, run and gun, get killed, reload, run and gun, ad nauseam, until you get lucky and are allowed to proceed to anything remotely interesting. It's not worth suffering through that for the little dribs and drabs of secondary story on offer. Save your money and buy a game with a truly open world.    … Expand

    • The DLC adds alot of new weapons to experiment with and they do add more diversity to the weapons in the game.

    • But I think what I liked the most about this DLC was the cast of new NPCs that are in the DLC. Each character is very well-designed with their physical appearance, voice acting and well-written dialogues. And when you are doing the quests and interacting with these characters, it just makes you want to play this game more and more.

    So in general, the DLC is one of the very best and I am really hoping for a second DLC just to make me even love this game more than I already do.    … Expand

    I wasn't able to put my finger on it in my first play through of the game, but after seeing how drab and lazily implemented quest system in Origins was I able to notice just how amazing Zero Dawn got this. Each person, every person in this game, whether from the root title or the DLC have a personality. They each have a reason for asking for what they are asking for. They show it in there face, or in their tone of how they say it. You can hear the sadness or joy in their dialogue and say what you will about the facial expression in the root game (some were really bad), most of the time they nail that emotion or reaction. Take one of the first quests you pick up "Waterlogged."

    When I first met Gildun, I legitimately found his personality that special kind of "grating but friendly." We've all known someone like this; happy even in the face of bad news. You never hate them, in many ways you admire them for finding the good in bad. In the game you can even see that in Alloy's reactions. That's a wonderful design choice Guerrilla made here; a reason to invest in the title.

    I hope there is another piece of DLC coming for this title, something to tide us over till the next major release. I said this before in my initial review of this game, but this title cannot fall into obscurity. This is truly one of the best IP's to come out in the last 20 years, the frozen wilds is well worth your time.    … Expand

The strategy of determining each machines weakness and strengths and then acting on them is still satisfying. The Frozen Wilds story is very intriguing from the start when you meet a character who's leaving The Cut and tries to convince you to do the same. From there the story takes off and offers a rich, fun, and engaging story. Since this is end game level quests the difficulty is pretty high, which is a positive thing, Having to worry about your health means more strategy in the combat. The main story is around five hours long, but the many new side-quests offer much more play time. Not only are they different from each other but their stories are just as compelling, if not more, than the "main story" of The Frozen Wilds. There are a couple quests that I will remember for a long time to come. Finally, the graphical fidelity of the area seems to be improved from the base game locations.

There are no interesting characters I can recall and, worse, the latent feminism in the base game, which didn't bother me, here blossoms into full toxic gender war where all women are strong and morally impecable while men must be portrayed as flawed one way or another. Gameplay fun is seriously nerfed because most of the machines are "demonic" hence cannot be corrupted nor overriden and stealth opportunities are much more rare. Lots of glinthawks, imo the most annoying creatures in HZD, and here dealing with them is worse due to the steep terrain frequently blocking the view. Last but not least, the new bear robots are omniscient bullet sponges and a significant portion of the expansion playtime is grinding fights against them. Frozen Wilds gets a 4 from me because there are a couple of interesting side quests and some new equipment to buy, but I'd only recommend it for players who have finished the main game in the most difficult setting and need badly a final HZD fix. Specially social justice warriors who think men are the worst and should be put in their place.… Expand

    My usual problem with DLC is that they have a poor value proposition. I bought the Frozen Wilds DLC for $5. I could have bought for $5 with an ultimate version of Horizon Zero Dawn back in 2017. I skipped it because for $5, I can buy an entire used game. I recently played through a stack of used games that cost $5 or less. Not just junk but well reviewed games like Prey, Wolfenstein: New Colossus, and Final Fantasy IV. None of these games wowed me like Horizon Zero Dawn. (Prey almost wowed me until the end sequence devolved into loading screens.) So when the Frozen Wilds went back on sale for $5, I bought it without hesitation.

    The Frozen Wilds DLC does not add much new content compared to the based game but it is a meaty amount of content for a DLC. You have a new area to play with a few new structures to plunder, two new types of machine animals, and some hot springs and geysers. The entire story took me almost 10 hours to play, though I took my time explore as any good Horizon player should.

    The first new machine type wrecked me. In the past few years, I forgot how the game plays. The combat system is complex and I forgot how many tutorials are in the game. The new enemy types are also cheap. They rush Aloy, hit her with body slam attacks, have area of effect attacks, and cannot be overridden with her staff. The new largest of the new enemies is almost entirely immune to explosive weapons. One of my main issues with the main game is the reliance on shooting arrows to knock off components. Most of my playthrough of the main game relied on the long distance bow to knock off armor and hit vulnerable components. I found that to be best strategy in the DLC too. Aloy can pick up upgraded weapons and armor but they do not change the gameplay much. I was glad to have a mission in the main game area to destroy a Thunderjaw (the T-Rex robot). It was a nice break from the DLC robots.

    The story in the DLC is told well and it helps build the world of Horizon. The Banuk tribe has a friendlier relationship with machines and at one point you see them use an automated drill for ice fishing. I always found it odd that with all these machines to hunt, the people of Horizon did not use their parts for wagons, water pumps, and other tools.

    The dialogue was all over the place. Some of the tribal people spoke as if they went to college. I had the feeling that the half the characters in the DLC were written by interns. Aloy is such a smartypants because she grew up with the Focus, an all-in-one internet database, alternate reality, visual enhancement ear piece. Everyone else learned from hearing stories by the campfire. Sony should keep this in mind as they make the sequel for Horizon.

    All-in-all, this is quality DLC for $5 and I am glad I played it. From a value proposition, the quality of a Horizon DLC trumps the quantity of most bargain bin games.    … Expand

After which, he becomes docile, and fixated on Aloy's every move within the wilds.

    If you caught on to the gender war in the main story, and were irritated by it, then don't waste your money on this. As I mentioned above, this dlc follows the same direction. However, if you wish to ignore the narrative, the (only) benefit of the wilds is that the most powerful weapons are there. In that regard...it may be worth it to you to purchase the dlc. Since this dlc continues the unrelenting assault on the mind with it's gender war agenda, it gets the same score as the main story.    … Expand

    Animation in dialogs is much better.
    The snow is beautiful.
    New effects.
    The ending is crumpled and boring.
    The only really interesting episode is the water dam.

    The Frozen Wilds is among the best expansions in gaming. It improves upon the main game in several ways that I will later outline. However, the greatest compliment I can give is that once you are immersed in the snowy badlands of the Banuk wilds you will all but forget the main game even exists.

It improves upon the main game in several ways that I will later outline. However, the greatest compliment I can give is that once you are immersed in the snowy badlands of the Banuk wilds you will all but forget the main game even exists. Going back to HZD proper can be a letdown and I would suggest running this DLC right before the game's final mission.

    The frosted setting of the northern tundra truly feels separate from the main game. It's a snow covered oasis unlike anything in HZD. The snowfall is greater, the accumulation is deeper, and the landscape is more varied. From colorful bodies of water to geological anomalies the Frozen Wilds is sight to see. Not only this, but the cast of characters are interesting and unique. The Banuk tribe is infinitely more interesting than any tribe found in the primary game. From their customs and traditions to their past war with the Carja the Banuk are a fascinating people and a joy to discover. Aloy becomes ingrained in their culture and Is even bestowed one of their greatest honors in the process. New characters are deeper and more unique than those found in the base game. They all have exceptional mo cap and you often find yourself accompanied by multiple NPC during action or puzzle oriented quests. This hugely improves both the technical prowess and emotional depth of NPCs in the primary game where no cap wasn't often used and puzzles/companion quests were infrequent at best.

    The story may not be as profound as the one experienced in the main game but it's still an excellent ride with mystery and interesting characters along the way. It absolutely adds to the overall picture and offers insight on The World at Large, future threats, and a key character from HZD. In my opinion this DLC is required play for any fan of the original based on lore and story insight alone.

    Along your 20 hour journey you will find the best weapons and some of the finest outfits in the entire game. It adds a new skill tree and a few interesting machines as well. The Frostclaws in particular is an incredible new enemy unlike any in the main game. It's bipedal and features an array of new attacks from Dark Souls 2 style grabs that can one shot you to a flopping barrel roll that causes massive environmental destruction. The expansion includes upgraded versions of every bow and three new and powerful weapons based on different elements. These include rail guns, flamethrowers, and an electricity arch rifle. They can be upgraded to achieve shocking results and multiple fire modes. The outfits also feature new buffs such as incremental health gain over time. They offer either unique elements or are merely better versions of main game armor. The toys in the Frozen Wilds are a joy to behold.

    The Frozen Wilds is not only a robust expansion but GG truly attacked development with a focus on improvement. From puzzles to gear. From improved NPCs to the best collectables in the series every aspect of Frozen Wilds was handled with skill and care. The animal museum is a particular highlight. You will chuckle with joy upon each animal figure you find and even the pigment collectables have deeper meaning than any in HZD. Truly, this DLC is required gaming for any fan of this IP and it only amplifies my excitement for the Forbidden West. If GG could make such improvement over the course of a year then what can they do with five? The future is bright if Frozen Wilds is any indication. 9.3/10. The 10/10 is for balancing reasons.    … Expand

    The addition to the in-game world looks very nice, but unfortunately, the story doesn't add too much to the game. Not only is it rather short (even for a DLC), but it's fairly predictable and doesn't make you invested in the same way the base game did. The best part of this is the new machines (Scorchers, Fireclaws, etc.), which are a lot more challenging than anything in the base game.The addition to the in-game world looks very nice, but unfortunately, the story doesn't add too much to the game.

    After finishing Horizon Zro Dawn, I just really don't get the hype... While this open world attempt at a good game had everything built in it to succeed, the experience I had with it makes me want to stay as far away as possible from it.

    For every positive aspect here, there's a bad one tied to it. And the bad one always screams more than it should. And that's a problem that stayed with me throughout the entire experience.
    At first, I was loving it! Horizon Zero Dawn is one of the most gorgeous games I've ever played in my life. The world, character designs, enemies, environments - everything brought a tear to my eye. Not only that, but the game grips you from the start. Characters are interesting, bold, well-written and filled with secrets. It made me want to keep playing to find out everything about this post apocalyptic world and its people. And the story is solid from beginning to end, I have to say.
    Tutorials were smooth, environments were interesting enough, enemy variety was fantastic and even the sidequests were engaging and actually fun to make.

    My first 10 hours of Horizon were great. Maybe the game should have lasted about that long, because when I started noticing its flaws, my run with it just crumbled down.

    And what killed HZD for me was the combat.
    Even in theory it sounds silly. "Human with a bow and arrow, some traps and a knack of wood try to take down prehistoric robot beasts using stealth". I mean, come on...
    It's overcomplicated and unbalanced as hell!
    Every fight feels like a boss fight and they all take too long, even against humans. One little **** up and you're stuck fighting a single robot dinosaur and 5 masked dudes for about 30 minutes. Melee combat is a joke, robots have a ridiculous amount of health and do A LOT of damage, while you have to fend for yourself with a health made of paper and a few weak arrows. Even healing sucks in this game. When you don't have enough to craft potions, you have to HUNT for FLOWERS to heal a LITTLE.
    The enemies in this game even managed to ruin one of HZD's best feature, which is exploring. The baffling number of enemies on the map and their misplacement in it makes running around and doing ANYTHING a massive slow chore. A challenge, yes, but definitely not a good one.
    It's unbelievable how bad it gets. Especially midway through the game, when you're still discovering things.
    And to make matters worse, menu interfaces are a mess, you acquire a lot of useless loot, Aloy's mobility and climbing skills rival Skyrim's, conversation animations are extremely stiff and the DLC is forgettable. Basically, Horizon packs a punch when it comes to bad open world cliches.

    I was excited for Horizon Zero Dawn. I really was. But once I started to understand the game's MANY flaws in the dull details of its design, I wanted nothing to do with it.
    It COULD be a great game, but it's nothing but a mediocre 40 hours robot hunt. I just can't recommend it.    … Expand

    A very good DLC to a great game. There are many things done better than in the base game and many things done worse.
    Let's look at the good things first. The dialogue scenes look more alive now. People just walking around made it look just better. Almost every side-quest has now some sort of twist that makes it unique. Side quests are overall a better experience (especially the one with    A very good DLC to a great game.

And I think the graphics are even better than in the base game. The snow looks just amazing. The machines are destroying the forest. Visually stunning.
    I still gave it a lower score than the base game. Why? First of all - fights. Aloy is a little overpowered at the end of the game so they had to make it even. How did they achieve that? By making the new monsters that are sponges for arrows. When the game asked me to kill 6 Fireclaws I changed the difficulty because the hunt felt more like work than a challenge. A second thing would be story and character design that seems just naive. The whole Banuk tribe treats you like a god after a couple of kills. All the characters are stupid and powerless when opposed to Alloy and it just feels awkward.
    Enough complaining. If you like the base game, you are going to like the DLC as well. It is more of the great game you like. And after completing it 100% and spending more than 20 hours to do so, I can recommend it. I hope more games had DLC's that add so more to the base game.    … Expand

I ll try to explain why I came to the decision and maybe it ll help you decide to whether to buy this game or not.

    Frozen Wilds is the seemingless addon for the main game which means you progress from the mainland onto the Frozen Wilds as soon as it pleases you. Level cap is around 30 if I remember correctly, if you did the whole main game and some side stuff you will still face some enemies that will put you to the test. All in all it feels like a classic addon: new areas, new collectibles, more weapons and modification together some new armors. Basically everything there was got elevated a little bit.

    Frozen Wilds has basically one big atmospheric theme which is the cold. Compared to the main game this felt a little bit one-sided to me. Also the hefty snow storms can be a little bit bothersome when it comes to sight. Realism aside I still appreciate that I m able to see stuff. Still graphical quality is top notch as it has been before. The story itself is somewhat connected and continued although I feel that there is a certain cut-off. The main game felt more fluent and continous where the addon feels a little bit seperated but still sticks to the "theme" without any spoiling here.

    One thing I liked a lot is that weapon choice matters a lot more. I basically destroyed 95% of the main game with one weapon. In Fronze Wilds you gotta pick more careful or you are up for loads of pain, which feels good and boasts variety. Melee fighting gets also boosted which is something I missed a lot in the base game. There is new armor variety which is kinda useless if you get the special armor from the base game. This might seem okay but is still a bit sad for completionists because I basically was "stuck" to my old armor.

    One thing that is confusing with the complete edition is the shared skill pool. Basically you can skill Frozen Wild and base game from level 1 on although some skills are based on Frozen Wilds. This confused me a lot on trophies but is nothing too troublesome. Skillpoints and levelups seem strangely balanced to me. I m fully skilled but obtained at least 5-10 skills points after that which is weird. It has something to do with leveling and seperated skill bonusses I guess. Finishing Frozen Wilds on nearly 100% left me at level 58.5 of 60 which is also a bit strange. Before I did 100% in the main game so I didnt think that it wouldnt be even enough to get max.

    Besides some highly agressive enemy types, the game features pretty brutal hunting grounds and long passages without save points which bothered me a bit. I m regular gamer but still it is bothersome if you have to play on for 1-2hrs without a designated save point. That should not happen for casuals. Some collectibles again where placed also in the oddest spaces. I m not sure whether it felt like a competition or bothered me. Probably more of the later to be honest. Also I was sad that the inventory didnt get boosted in the progress of Frozen Wilds. I struggled a lot during the main game already and it got worse but it was only triggering my OCDs not something that is really bothersome to be fair.

    All in all the Frozen Wilds is a fun addition that will keep you busy for 10 to 20hrs and has a nice addition to everything the base game offered. Again, buying the complete edition here for 20 bucks (or on sale even less!!) is basically a steal and absolutely worth it. Still I feel that the magic in Frozen Wilds was a bit gone. The story was more flat and the scenery a bit monotaneous. Some enemies and challenges felt too spikey in difficulty. Also I felt with the end of the main game the addition had a strange cut which I was feeling in the progression.    … Expand

Ich hatte mich auf ein wenig Sidequesten und ein neues Gebiet gefreut, dass ich erkunden konnte und das den vorhandenen Content etwas ausbaut. Das sich Horizon Frozen Wilds dann aber als eigentlich vollständiges, eigenes Spiel mit eigener Spielwelt, neuen Haupt und Nebenquests erwies, das hatte ich kaum zu hoffen gewagt. Gut 20h Content bieten die Erweiterung zu Zero Dawn, samt völlig eigener Geschichte und Charaktere. Zudem macht Frozen Wilds auch vieles bereits besser, was man am Original evtl. noch zu kritisieren hatte. Die Dialoge wurden dynamischer inszeniert, das Pacing in den Kämpfen leicht verbessert. Auch hinsichtlich World Building und Storyentwicklung konnte Frozen Wilds der Geschichte um die alte Welt, aber auch dem Fortkommen Alloys viele neue spannende Facetten hinzufügen. Vielleicht gar bessere als im wirklichen Nachfolger Forbidden West? Dieser hat mich hinsichtlich des Vorantreibens der Story am Ende eher weniger überzeugen können.

    Frozen Wilds ist definitiv mehr als eine einfache Erweiterung von Zero Dawn. Für mich war es fasst schon ein zweiter Teil. Sollte man unbedingt gespielt haben.    … Expand
