Some DLCs are good enough...or bad enough...that they need their own reviews. The FFXV DLCs fall into one (or more) of those categories...

Synopsis?
You are Prompto from FFXV. You've been separated from your friends and must try to get back to them by any means necessary. It's snowy, but you have a snowmobile and warm clothes, so no worries.
First impressions?
First impressions?
A snowmobile?!?!? YES!

| I really, really can't drive. In video games. Yeah. That works. |
Graphics and voices?
Same as FFXV. Lovely.
...and sometimes glitchy.
Gameplay?
...and sometimes glitchy.
Gameplay?
A little different than the base game. You are Prompto and his attacks are...well, guns. So you shoot things. Hopefully from a great distance, as Prompto's defense has always been, and still is, rather sucky. You can shoot from the snowmobile too, and that's kinda cool.
Storyline?
I like the story this adds to the overall FFXV tale. It's better than Gladio's pity party, and while Prompto's a whiny little thing, at least he has reason to be, and he does get over it. Eventually. With Aranea's help, of course. ♥♥♥
Complaints?
Weak attack, no leveling, and upgrading the snowmobile was a strange addition, IMO. There are little sidequests you can stumble into that will net you the parts you need to upgrade it, making it faster and whatnot. I suppose that's useful for the races, but I hate the races. I crash a LOT.
It seemed quite glitchy, more so than any other DLC for FFXV or even the base game itself. I had moments where Prompto's just standing there and then all of a sudden, Aranea teleports to his side and they both magically appear beside the snowmobile. Really strange.
The beginning is a bit annoying. For what seems like FOREVER you have to move forward, very slowly, until Prompto collapses.
Praise?
Aranea. I could never have beaten that nasty behemoth without her. She really needs her own playable DLC.

Finishing this DLC does net you a new outfit for Prompto (Tundra Attire), a new gun (Lion Heart), and a new Bullet Art (Trigger-Happy). And there are different things you can find in the DLC itself to change his a look a bit.
Overall?
Better than Episode Gladiolus. A nice addition to the FFXV story, though IMO a little lacking in replayability◄◄◄ totally a word because I say it is....
HGG score?
