The Horizon series has always been a big winner at the Golden Joysticks over the years, so it’s wonderful to see that translate to Aloy and co’s first foray into virtual reality with a story that launched alongside thePSVR 2back in February.

In ourHorizon Call of the Mountain review, we called Firesprite Games and Guerrilla Games' joint venture “a touch of magic” in its ability to translate the Horizon experience into a first-person, incredibly tactile VR game. “It’s stunning, captivating, and never loses sight of what made Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West so special.”

It hit all the right notes for us on the GamesRadar+ team offering an excellent, fresh take on Guerrilla’s robo-dino series with a completely new protagonist alongside some returning faces. Horizon: Call of the Mountain also did some really fun things to celebrate the features of the PSVR 2 as well - and not just in how dang pretty the game is.
