Frontier Developments have set the bar for their DLC offerings excitingly high, and if the rest of their additional content is as impressive as the Arctic Pack then the future for Planet Zoo is looking bright.

Arctic Zoo isn’t the best value proposition for Planet Zoo fans, but it’s at least a good quality one. And if you’re keen to expand your menagerie, it’s your first and only opportunity.

Ultimately, the Arctic Pack is the same kind of high quality content that we’ve come to expect from Frontier, and sets the stage for a series of geography-themed DLC. The sticking point for some players will be the cost. At $10, it could be argued that the number of animals and other goodies is a little thin. Planet Coaster had a habit of including free content updates in addition to, and often alongside, paid DLC and one hopes this will continue with Planet Zoo. The Arctic Pack is an excellent, if not especially generous, supplement to the base game.

This DLC adds 4 animals, two of which are just reskinned older animals. But the ones that aren't reskinned make up for it. The Dall Sheep and the Reindeer are very unique and neat. If only they could've been more creative with the other two.

I thought this was the worst DLC until I bought the deluxe pack. Both terrible wastes of my money. Arctic pack comes with polar bears and nothing else exciting. Caution: It also comes with Arctic Wolves, which are literally different colored Eurasian Wolves (already in the game!!!) Planet Zoo changed the color of the wolves and put them in a dlc to charge fans who like the game extra for an animal they already have. That's poor business practices when you have to exploit your fans for more money, by changing the colors of animals already in the game and then charging people for them.

The Dall Sheep are neat. A new and unique animal rather than a reskin. Nice addition....

This content is a must-have to have more interesting zoos. But even if we welcome warmly new occupants that need special cares like the polar bears, we regret the lack of some other animals like penguins.

Personally if you have money that's unused or if it's on sale. It's not a bad grab. Keep in mind 10 dollars not only for 4 animals, but for over 200+ building items, and 2 new scenarios Scandinavia and Mexico.

there are some pretty decent animals that were added. Worth a buy if you like the game.

This dlc is reallyyyy overpriced. It's 10$ (usd) just for 4 animals. BUT the base game provides 76 animals (for 45$). Sooooo DLC Is. Totally. Not. Worth. It. (Unless you really want a polar **** arctic wolves, which are literally clones of the grey wolves already in the game)

Not worth the price. $15 CAD at launch and only 4 animals. Very overpriced.
