While I wouldn't go so far as to say Horizon Zero Dawn is the best open-world action-RPG I've ever played, it is quite memorable. You'll follow tribeswoman Aloy evolve from a young, naive exile into a battle-hardened savior capable of both fighting off the hostile and dangerous robotic beasts strewn...

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.

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.

The smash hit PS4 exclusive gets a stunning winter-themed expansion, with more robot animals and the best snow effects ever.

Amazing graphics, with some of the best snow effects ever seen; New animals are fun and sub quests are more involved than before; Dialogue has a bit more zest to it

Horizon Zero Dawn came out earlier this year and was packed with action, exploration, and a killer sci-fi setting. With the game's first expansion, "The Frozen Wilds," Guerilla Games offers a simple proposal: Want some more Horizon Zero Dawn Here's some more Horizon Zero Dawn.

More Horizon Zero Dawn; A substantial new region with loads of new experiences to be had

Weak story with a short runtime; Occasional glitches and long loading times; Some encounters feel like the have a bit of forced difficulty

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.
