"In short, The Crown Tundra is another fine addition to Pokémon Sword &a; Shield, but it emphasises many of both the highlights and shortcomings of the base games. The highs are excellent, white hot flashes of wonderment, but they&s;re a …"

"There&s;s not as many new Pokémon as I&s;d have liked, and two-thirds of the legendary hunt is lacking. But, with new features, tons of legendary Pokémon, and a cool new environment to explore, this is an expansion worth picking up."
Read original review"Now that the season pass is in the hopper, it&s;s easy to feel like Pokemon Sword and Shield are a transitional generation to something greater. Sure, I liked Sword and Shield for what they were and filled out my Pokedex …"

"Pok&s;mon Sword and Shield&s;s final expansion is a fantastic, enticing endgame area that also shows just how great these games could have been."
Read original review"The Crown Tundra gives you a lot more engaging content than The Isle of Armor, but it&s;s still a bit lacking in polish. If you like Legendary Pokemon though, this is the DLC for you."
Read original review"The new items, moves, locations and of course Pokémon add a lot to the replay value. Dynamax Adventures alone are worth the price of admission for both DLC expansions. If this is the direction that the franchise is going to …"

"Pokémon Sword and Shield: The Crown Tundra is the better of the two DLCs for the game, though that&s;s not saying much. It manages to weave Pokémon&s;s modern sensibilities with some strong nostalgia for old-time fans like myself, and I …"
Read original review"Compared to the lackluster The Isle of Armor expansion, The Crown Tundra feels much more fleshed out with enjoyable story quests, on top of the very addictive Dynamax Adventures and Galarian Star Tournament, though there is still something missing that …"

"The Crown Tundra is a decent DLC, getting straight to the point of catching Pokémon, with Legendaries being the primary focus. There are a lot of familiar faces but the new additions are a sight for sore eyes. Dynamax Adventures …"
Read original review"These efforts seen in The Crown Tundra make up for the disappointment that was Isle of Armor and leaves Sword and Shield’s expansion pass off on a positive note."

"Although it may come at an additional cost, Pokemon Sword &a; Shield&s;s Expansion Pass has salvaged the games for this fan."
Read original review"Pokémon Sword and Shield The Crown Tundra it&s;s a finish line in Pokémon eighth generation, but also a sad and limited one. Mostly because nothing makes really difference, altough the challenges makes us curious it really doesn&s;t enough."

"A much welcome expansion for Pokémon Sword and Shield that introduces two, very well-designed areas, brimming with Pokémon to catch. Perfect for fans of the games, but likely won’t change the minds of others."
