![]() ![]() One early use of this truly shows off both the fidelity of the visuals, and how good the inside-out tracking is for the controllers, as you have to tie a rope around a climbing tool slowly, to ensure it’s stable for future use. These, like tools you use as well, must be crafted at first, and by that I mean you manually have to create them. Despite at first seeming like this slows the encounters down, in fact it becomes a frantic battle to keep out of the way while getting arrows on target, and you’ll likely even work up a sweat in some spots.Īs you progress, the arrows you’d craft from the other Horizon games are present. You will be locked into a reasonably large area, depending on the foe, and you can strafe with the left stick, or dodge quickly with the right. While you have free roam to move about as you want during exploratory sections, combat is based around arena style encounters. It’s satisfying, and there’s a good degree of aim-assistance so you aren’t missing all the time as well.Ĭombat is slightly different to how I’ve seen other VR-shooters handle things. You simply have to bring your bow from over your shoulder and an arrow from the other, then place it over the bow, pull back and fire. Likewise, plunging into the water, jumping from cliff to rope, and taking on the many machines from the world of Horizon are all fun and intuitive. ![]() Even having built a Tallneck in Lego form, seeing the underneath of its foot, the cables, wires, and metal moving as it nobly strides above me, was a fantastic experience. The vistas, machines, and even returning characters look the part, and have incredible attention to detail. Stunning vistas that you’ve seen as flatter looking versions in Forbidden West and Zero Dawn are fully realised in Call of the Mountain. Make no mistake, as a technical showcase, Horizon Call of the Mountain does its job. The world of Horizon has been ripe for additional entries since the first game, and while Horizon Call of the Mountain offers a unique way to explore the world previously only investigated by Aloy and is mostly a great experience, it doesn’t quite manage to avoid some pitfalls along the way. ![]()
