The developers achieve a perfect compromise between the challenge of real-life archery and the fun expected of a console game. Normal aiming is enough, and the eye-tracking is supporting my aim, so I manage to hit a target even at long range. There is less emphasis on full bow simulation here. With a grip over my shoulder, I draw my high-tech bow for target shooting as well as hunting machine guards and larger metal monsters. Well, jump for it, Ryas! | Image: Guerilla Games / MIXED Or I take grappling hooks and other tools and objects from my inventory to cross chasms, pull objects towards me, and open locks. With these hands, I grab ledges, metal parts, and ropes while climbing. This is not a limitation as it involves me better than a body that is inevitably not cleanly tracked would. In the role of Ryas, I don't see my body, just very detailed hands. Horizon offers comfort settings to minimize VR motion sickness, such as moving by swinging your arms. VR movement in Horizon Call of the Mountain It's worth playing Horizon Call of the Mountain just for that. They are incredibly well animated - the eyes, the mouth, the face, and the movement are as good as I have ever seen them in a VR game. What impressed me from the start was the authenticity and the natural feeling of the NPCs. Ryas meets various characters, including Aloy, the heroine of both PS4 and PS5 games. The NPCs in Horizon Call of the Wild are beautifully animated. That is, until you have to jump over a precipice onto a rock face with a pair of pickaxes in your hand. Keep one hand on the mountain and you'll be fine. Horizon lets you climb and dangle high above magnificent vistas.
The only possible problem is if you suffer from an incurable fear of heights. Horizon Call of the Mountain looks incredibly good, is extremely detailed, has great animated NPCs - fans of the series will kneel before Aloy! - and thrilling, sometimes epic battles, despite the movement limitations. It's a stunning example of what VR can do, and what a popular and familiar game world can look like in VR. I am celebrating Horizon like no other VR game in recent years.
