    A lot of climbing and shooting arrows. 70 Euros for a seven hour game is too much. I wouldn't buy this game again.

    The game itself has great graphics, and it's great for you to show your family and friends what VR is all about, a pity that a good part of the game is you climbing mountains, at the beginning it's cool, but after a few hours it starts to get boring, the best parts of the game are the fights against the machines, making items, etc.... I wish it was a game with more moments like these,The game itself has great graphics, and it's great for you to show your family and friends what VR is all about, a pity that a good part of the game is you climbing mountains, at the beginning it's cool, but after a few hours it starts to get boring, the best parts of the game are the fights against the machines, making items, etc....

    Экз партизанов во всём, без исключения, уступает VR детищу Габена, но и не является технодемкой для новой приблуды соней. Пришедшим в доль и поперёк налюбоваться здешней булочкой с корицей, стоит закатать губень и не расчитывать на что-то большее чем «Смотри, но рукамитне трогай». В плане расширения вселенной игра весьма сносно даёт поглядеть на допотопный футуризм в новой перспективе, но не больше. Сама по себе история подана грамотно, а геймплей не удручает, но лудонарративный диссонанс тут, как ни в одной другой части серии выражен ярко и от него очень трудно избавиться из-за ситуёвин в которые впутывают главного героя хедлайнеры SONY, при этом есть возможность цепляться не только киркой за горы, но и глазу есть за что зацепиться. Хоть и без особого изыска, но с должным лоском к вопросу графена создатели KILLZONE подошли скурпулёзно, дабы мыло не щипало, а открывающиеся виды нет-нет да захватывали дух.

    Still playing through this. As others have said it’s mostly climbing. It gets a bit dull climbing all the time. There needs to be more puzzles and battles. I got this with the PSVR2 bundle and it’s definitely not worth the price you pay for it to be included.

    The game greatly showcases the power of PS5 and PS VR2. That been said the climbing gets old really fast, it's one of the most motion sickness educing games I played so far. If you can, just pick up the trail version, you won't be missing much.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a 6 maybe 7. Played a few hours and its nice but no wow factor for me. Had PSVR 1 and after short while found graphics to be rubbish. PSVR 2 obvious upgrade and looking forward to playing Grand Turismo 7 which seems to better showcase. PSVR 2 for me now is what PSVR 1 should have been last time. If it's your first time to VR you will appreciate more. Horizon just a bit dull.… Expand

    J'ai hésité à lui mettre 07/10, je pense que la bonne note pour moi serait 7.5 mais ce n'est pas possible donc j'arrondis au chiffre inférieur parce qu'il ne mérite peut être pas d'être dans le vert pour un jeu "phare" du support PSVR 2.

    Horizon Call of the mountain montre toutes les capacités du PSVR2 que ce soit graphiquement ou au niveau de la reconnaissance des manettes et autres nouveautés techniques (eye tracking, reconnaissance des doigts, ...). Sur ce coup là il fait très bien le boulot et on s'attarde souvent sur les détails de gestion de la physique (clairement impossible à faire sur PSVR1) et sur le gigantisme de certains décors. On regrettera un effet de brouillard très présent en fonction des environnements (les plus éclairés lointains sont vraiment sous un voile très visible).
    Pour le reste le jeu propose de trouver des coffres cachés, des cibles à débusquer et autres collectors intéressant pour un replay value. Malheureusement le jeu manque du principal: du fun. Escalader c'est impressionnant, mais c'est pas "amusant". Les arènes de combats sont simples et limitées dans nos déplacements. Du coup les rencontres avec les ennemis perdent de leur intensité, on est jamais stressé de devoir les combattre.

    En clair, il manque un vrai challenge au jeu, du fun, une histoire un peu plus sympa que ça, et que sa suite, s'il y en a une, ne soit plus une simulation d'escalade avec quelques combats, mais un vrai jeu...    … Expand

    visually this might be one of the best looking game on any VR so far, the music makes you feel a sense of wounder about the history of the what happened up in the mountains but the story is a bit lackluster, the game play is a bit repetitive but fun never the less.

    Not a full and long Horizon Game, like Zero Dawn or Forbidden West but still not bad. it is a AAA-Production and you can see it and it is also expansive for a relatively short playtime. another good thing: it is a colorful and for the most part it is a brighter game, so the mura-effect does not affect this game as much as others (but it is still not invisible!!!).

    sadly it does rely on sony's reprojections technique, and it seems like that sony's reprojection technique does not work as well as expected, because it is very visible and it should not. sony reprojection implementation is much more behind compared to asw from oculus. so this game is harder for the eyes because of ghost images (for example: move your hand in front of you or strafe sideways) and this can cause eyestrain and sometimes even nausea. probably, psvr2 games will always fight with some motion blur because of "persistence blur" (thanks sony, f... hdr). if a much more powerfull ps5 pro comes out, the reprojection issue should be solved, because it is not needed anymore, but this is wishful thinking for the future ...    … Expand

    I really wanted to love this game as I'm a big fan of the series, and while I did enjoy my time with it, there is way too much climbing, which gets old very quickly. It's a shame as the combat parts are fun but too fleeting and a little bit too easy. It is a very pretty for a VR game though, so look no further if you're wanting to show off your new PSVR2.

    Finished in 6 hours, I don't think it would be replayable, only died to the final boss and climbing

    An all-new Horizon experience that, with the help of the powerful PSVR 2, will transport you directly into this unique world full of mechanical animals, with never more opportunities to interact in one solid-length adventure for a VR title.

    As a feat of technical artistry, it’s impressive, sleek, and often breathtaking. But as you’re dangling off a cliff edge, taking a breather from endless, repetitive mountain climbing, you’ll find yourself wondering whether novelty is really enough to justify such a loosely-tied journey. While the experience is impressive in fits and starts, Horizon Call of the Mountain ultimately feels like a puzzle with several pieces missing.

    Feeling every bit like a AAA game set in the Horizon universe, Call of the Mountain is an immersive and visually impressive experience that falters somewhat in the combat department.
