Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds

For less than $20, Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds (which was supplied to us by SIEA free of charge) is a meaty story-driven, single player expansion for one of the best games of the year and comes very much recommended. While it doesn’t significantly expand on the some of the mysteries that lingered after the conclusion of the original game, the new content fleshes out the universe in a way that has us more excited for the inevitable Horizon Zero Dawn sequel.

Everything that made Horizon Zero Dawn the outstanding work that it is undeniably carries over to The Frozen Wilds.

With some very well implemented graphical improvements, new and tougher enemies to fight and a new story that lasts about 15 hours, the Frozen Wilds expansion for Guerrilla's action-RPG is a great addition to the lore and ideal for those who enjoyed the original game.

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.

With its huge amount of new content and the impressive look of The Cut, The Frozen Wilds provides a great reason to head back to Horizon Zero Dawn’s universe.

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

I Am playing this game and the DLC on my PS5, and it is so unbelievably great! Just everything, from the story, the world, the exploration, the characters, and so on are simply perfect! Everything feels so real, and I can really feel with the characters. There is no single thing, that is not great, so a 10 is the only reasonable rating for me. Just a Masterpiece!

Bon DLC, pas grand chose à dire dessus, mais il garde les problèmes du jeu de base à savoir des quêtes secondaires pas très intéressantes et un open world très basique.

More of the same with a few new weapons and tougher robo monsters. Nothing impressive story wise, but hey a new snowy enviroment to explore.

HZD is one of the best games I've ever played. Frozen Wilds is a big let down. The Banuk tribe is extremely boring and the dlc story is essentially a rehash of the less interesting line in the base game's plot (demonic AI corrupting machines). 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.

This dlc is an expansion on the same wavelength as what plagues the main **** continuation of the gender war. Aloy is once again granted power over a man, in which she takes the reigns of command away from him...despite being an outsider. 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 **** 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.
