Horizon Zero Dawn is a fantastic game with unfortunate timing. The past decade of open-world video game design culminates on its post-post-apocalyptic Earth. The world is denser, the fiction more coherent and the combat more inventive than in its contemporaries.

In the end, Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds does what every good DLC should set out to do: give players more of what they love. Needless to say, if you enjoyed the base game, you will undoubtedly enjoy The Frozen Wilds as well.

Horizon Zero Dawn is disappointing. It has a story that I struggled to care about (complete with massive expository dumps—yay), a bland protagonist, and overtly repetitive and constraining missions that worked against its open world sensibilities.

Horizon Zero Dawn is excellent, I can’t emphasise that enough. This is a game that has made open worlds feel interesting again, in the way that The Witcher 3 managed to. This is something that has gone against the grain of games just aiming for a marketing spiel of “We have 100 hours’ worth of...

Incredibly well realized open world with a host of meaningful content; Aloy is one of the best characters in gaming with an excellent story; outstanding personality and perfect growth; One of the best looking games to date; showing exactly what the PS4 can handle

Some side characters are just sat in the uncanny valley and could have done with a little extra work

Horizon Zero Dawn is another top-tier exclusive for the PS4. As long as you have some patience in combat, and 30-40 hours to drop to fully explore the world and take in the plot, you’ll leave the game with an immensely satisfying experience.

A sizable new adventure for Aloy in a frozen wilderness that gives Horizon fans more of what they love.

Large new area to explore; gorgeous graphics; challenging new enemies; good side characters.

Areas are necessarily not as varied as the main game; control towers feel like a weak addition; new skill tree is kind of a letdown; main cast is just okay.

I would've been truly surprised if I disliked this DLC. The main game was so impressive that there would have to be some serious missteps to turn me away. The story isn't as thrilling as the base game but the setting captivates and the increased challenge is fun to some and undoubtedly going to...

A decent open-world game with a bad story and a disappointing world is still a decent open-world game. To be played after you've finished the greats.

Horizon Zero Dawn is a new action role-playing game where you, as main protagonist Aloy, a skilled hunter, explore a vibrant and lush world inhabited by mysterious mechanized creatures.
