Now the reason this game ended up making my top 10 was the DLC! The Frozen Wilds adds a whole new area to the upper right hand corner of the map and can be tackled at any time and it addressed both of my problems with the main game. I think they looked at Breath of the Wild and learned some lessons in open world design because the map is filled with ton of unique areas that I wanted to check out. They start out the DLC by highlighting this with the giant volcano in the distance that you eventually visit at the end of the DLC. The story also managed to grab my attention as Aloy tries to solve the mystery of the volcano and solve the internal struggles between not only the clans in the area, but the AI in control of everything in that area and the virus that had taken it over. It also brought in some cool past history stuff as it's revealed the are was actually what used to be Yellowstone Park so it gives a good reference point to a real world location and how it changed a thousand years in the future.

The DLC was good enough to boost Horizon to #10 on my list and if anything makes me look forward to whatever they have planned for Horizon 2.
