However, just as was the case with the base game, targeting weak points and exploiting elemental weaknesses is key to prevailing over your foes. Scorchers are close-combat specialists and will send Aloy to a very swift demise if you don’t keep your distance, while the others are straight up formidable powerhouses both up close and from a distance. Though I could have arguably done without one of these five new additions, the others proved to be challenging opponents in battle. The standout game changers are by far The Frozen Wilds’ new machines. Outside of the story, The Frozen Wilds, as you may expect, plays and looks just as wonderfully as the base game does. Don’t get me wrong, I learned a little on the way, but the big moment I was expecting just never showed up. However, at the very moment I expected to be given the chance to get my answers, it was never given to me as an option. With it being a particular point of intrigue for me by the end of Horizon Zero Dawn, I was eager to reach The Frozen Wilds’ conclusion and get the answers I’d been waiting many months for. The Frozen Wilds also dangled a very alluring story reveal at its beginning, pretty much promising to shed some light on it once I proceeded through the quest. As a result, the story seems to go at too fast a pace for itself, almost all too eager to reach its conclusion. Gaining the trust of one of the most senior figures in the Banuk tribe seemed far too easy considering I was an outsider, not to mention an added plot point we won’t reveal here. None of the quests feel like filler here, but there is a sense that things go by too fast. The action comes at you thick and fast, and the story is concise and to the point. Though we won’t dive into details on The Frozen Wild’s story in this review, it manages to weave its way into the general lore of the experience, shedding light on some questions players may have had during the main game. So, of course, the badass Aloy steps up to the challenge and heads off to investigate. New, hostile machines have appeared, and it’s believed that a spirit is behind it. Aloy catches word that there’s some strange goings on up in this area known as The Cut. The Frozen Wilds takes players up to the very north of the map, into the territory of the Banuk tribe. Skip forward nine months and I was excited to dive back into the world with The Frozen Wilds, and I’m pleased to say it’s a fantastic expansion to the core experience. Its stunningly detailed world was a joy to be in, leading me to spend upwards of 50 hours completing the story, side quests, and grabbing as many collectibles as I possibly could. Earlier this year, Horizon Zero Dawn released to critical acclaim.
