Elite Dangerous: Horizons
In the first of Elite Dangerous: Horizons’ expansions, Planetary Landings, players can journey seamlessly from space to surface and choose their own landing point on accurately simulated planets and moons throughout Elite Dangerous’ full-scale Milky Way galaxy. Players coast over mountain tops, dive into canyons and take command of the new ‘SRV’ ground vehicles. Each of these 1:1 scale worlds offers incredible vistas and countless gameplay opportunities as players discover valuable resources, experience deadly combat encounters, raid bases, scout crash sites, and cooperate with other players on the planet surface and flying high above. Planetary Landings is an entirely new way to play Elite Dangerous, and is just the first part of the Horizons season of expansions. This expansion is now part of the base game; it became unavailable for purchase on October 27, 2020.

All in all this season of Horizons is shaping up to be incredibly exciting. With the Engineers update well under way it is only a matter of time before we get ship-launched fighters, commander customization, and multicrew ships. With Elite: Dangerous Horizons, Frontier is doing everything right, and little wrong. More variety in ships, added customization, tweaked missions, planetary landings, you name it ... Elite has grown, and in all the right ways.

Right now Elite Dangerous: Horizons is a great start but it needs more mind-blowing content. For example, exiting your vehicle and taking on the sentries with a handheld weapon would’ve improved the experience.

The skilful combination of breathtaking graphics with hopeful yet haunting music including hypnotic background space sounds makes Elite Dangerous: Horizons epically immersive. You can stare at the star speckles views from your cockpit for hours and hours.
