I’ve seen some fine views in my time on this planet. The Mavora Lakes in New Zealand, the Tokyo skyline, the reflection in my bathroom mirror of a morning… They’re all beautiful and memorable sights in their own right, but when it comes to video games, I’m pretty sure Horizon Call of the Mountain delivers some of the greatest virtual vistas I’ve ever witnessed.
For many of PSVR2’s early adopters Horizon Call of the Mountain will not only be their first experience of Sony’s new headset but perhaps VR in general, and what an experience it’ll be. There were times during Firesprite and Guerrilla Game’s collaboration where I was simply boggled by how beautiful it all was; where panoramas of distant waterfalls and snowy mountains wrapped in the wreckage of long dead machines took my breath away, and where lush forests and glittering rivers made me forget the real world beyond my headset.
Aside from maybe Kayak VR: Mirage, I don’t think I’ve ever played a VR game with visuals as gorgeous as this one. So it’s a shame then that the world and mechanics propping it all up are distinctly average. In between the ‘wow’ moments (and don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of them), I just couldn’t help but feel slightly bored.
