While I never felt much attachment to Ryas, I enjoyed this alternative look into Horizon’s world after beating both main flatscreen entries on console. Working with the Sun-King Avad’s spymaster, Blameless Marad, you’re tasked with investigating a new threat to the Sundom. Set before Forbidden West, Call of the Mountain focus on Ryas, a former Shadow Carja soldier who seeks atonement for past crimes.

As Sony’s major launch game, Call of the Mountain faces a difficult balancing act in delivering an exciting VR adventure that also stays true to Horizon.

Software always pushes hardware – people won’t invest in a platform where there’s nothing to play. First impressions only happen once and while PlayStation VR2 boasts impressive specs, few things get people talking more than first-party exclusives. Launch games are critical for any new platform.

Horizon Call of the Mountain headlines a strong start for PlayStation VR2, showcasing the headset’s new features through an engaging action-adventure.
