Horizon Call of the Mountain works as an impressive PSVR2 tech showcase, but overambitious ideas make it less appealing as an action-adventure game.
Horizon Call of the Mountain is the first major PS VR2 exclusive, and it does its job to show the possibilities of the new viewer, from the spectacular and sharp graphics to the functions of the controls. It shines especially in the combats against the machines, although at times it feels a somewhat corseted experience.
As a technical showcase for what's possible with PSVR2 Call of the Mountain excels, even if its world and mechanics sometimes fall short.
Horizon: Call of the Mountain does not move any proverbial mountains, but it remains a strong technical showcase for what the PlayStation VR2 can do. In a world where AAA VR titles don’t appear too often, it’s in an exclusive club of unmissable VR experiences that you should definitely pick up.
