The PC version of Horizon Zero Dawn is the Complete Edition, meaning you get the Frozen Wilds expansion, various outfits and bows and some useful packs, as well as a copy of the game.

Although the port can look beautiful it’s not without its issues, as the masters of game comparison reviews themselves, Digital Foundry, found out. There is no denying though that Horizon Zero Dawn is still a beautiful game, even if it’s not a perfect port.
