The mountains look amazingly tall, and tip-toeing on cliff edges really gives you that “whoa” moment when you look at the stunning views across the land.įorests and rockfaces are not the only things you’ll marvel at, but also the many dino robots scattered throughout. One thing that Horizon Call of the Mountain excels at is giving everything a fantastic sense of scale and depth. You’ll be using a combination of these gestures while looking around to get you where you need to be, and the way the PS VR2 enables this is really special. While combat controls could take a bit of getting used to, exploring is the exact opposite. It takes very little time to get acclimated to the gesture controls, getting you traversing in as little as a few minutes. To provide an immersive experience, the controls in Horizon Call of the Mountain are very intuitive. It’s a great feeling, to be quite honest, and is not as tiring as one may think despite the very light workout. Of course, you can turn gesture controls off, but where’s the fun in that? Climbing requires you to grip the Sense controller trigger buttons in alternating fashion, all while lifting your arms to grab onto the many ledges and pegs scattered throughout. It’s quite the same here, only this time you’re moving your arms around, looking around for the next peg to grip onto and scaling these mammoth walls. If you’ve played any of the Horizon games in the past, you’ll know that the lands are filled with great canyons, mountains, waterfalls, and many natural land formations that can be scaled by Aloy. Instead, immersion is the name of the game, and as hinted earlier, you’ll be doing a lot of moving around to get to where you need to be.īy moving around, I mean climbing. There’s a paper-thin storyline here, and it’s not something that falls under the likes of Zero Dawn and Forbidden West which posed an expansive narrative. You are the disgraced Shadow Carja member, Ryas, who is on a quest for redemption by uncovering the mysteries of a new threat looming on the horizon (heh). You’ll see everything through the PS VR2 headset, setting you up for some stunning views, all while feeling everything through the haptic feedback on both the headset and Sense controllers.

Horizon Call of the Mountain is basically a standalone platforming title that takes you deep into the Horizon universe, if we could call it that, pitting you against the familiar mechanical threats from the series and teaming you up with equally familiar personalities like Aloy. Instead, you get a fully immersive experience that brings you deep into the heart of the wilderness and will require as much from you as you see on the screen (sort of).Ĭurious to hear what it’s all about?

If you’re looking for some fast-paced mechanical dino hunting, you’ve come to the wrong place (sort of). What could be considered the flagship title for the new hardware, the game sees a new hero not named Aloy take on the many challenges of the wilds in a story about redemption.Īs a PS VR2 title, you can expect some fundamental things to change from the base Horizon formula.
