    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.)

    This DLC fixed all the issues I had with the 9/10 original - weird character animations and voice acting outside of cutscenes - so it's pretty much 10/10.

    Excelente expansión del primer Horizon que nos permite vivir una nueva historia con Aloy en una nueva zona del mapa, esta vez en el lejano y helado norte, donde nuevas máquinas esperan y una nueva amenaza se cierne sobre los banuk y potencialmente sobre el resto de los habitantes de este apocaliptico nuevo mundo.

    Me he divertido mucho con este DLC . Es muy bonito y llamativo además de tener una gran narrativa al nivel de la historia principal.

    También me gusta mucho de que el DLC sea en la nieve para poder disfrutar de otro tipo de paisaje.

    En resumen: Un DLC en cuanto a gráficos 10/10, nuevas maquinas 10/10, historia 10/10...

    Conclusión: 9/10

    The frozen wilds is just how a DLC should be: connected to the main story but a whole new adventure accompanied by fresh challenges and a beautiful mini-open world which is different from the original game. Man, I loved this game, I'm gonna keep thinking about this game even when I'm 70 years old. Thank you GG.

    It's simply more of the same Horizon experience. If you enjoyed the main game, another 15 hours or so for $20 isn't a bad purchase. If you didn't happen to like it the first time around though, this expansion won't change your mind. As for me, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it the whole way through.

    This is the best DLC I've played since The Witcher's Blood and Wine. It follows the very best of the main campaign but with new scenarios, visuals, and astonishing new machines. The level of difficulty in this DLC is way higher due to the new machines. This is the only game I have real cinematic battle feelings.

    Más exigente que el juego base, no podremos relajarnos con los nuevos bichos que nos salen. Veremos a las mismas máquinas potenciadas y a nuevos bicharracos que, de no plantear bien el combate, nos van a dar más de un quebradero de cabeza.

    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.
