As the first hotly anticipated exclusive of the PSVR2, Horizon Call of the Mountain delivers. The graphical showcase, accompanied by the robust climbing and its true-to-lore machines, is arguably essential for the system.

Critic reviews
- Horizon Call of the Mountain is absolutely a must-own, whether you are a carryover fan from Zero Dawn and Forbidden West or not. It is a good Horizon title that introduces you to characters and a story you hope to see more of, mixed inside a fantastic experience that showcases PSVR2 like no other title on the market.
- 8.0Horizon Call of the Mountain is a really good VR experience. It looks great, controls well, and the free-climbing concept is well executed. It’s a nice adaptation of the Horizon world into VR. It’s a shame the experience isn’t a bit meatier; it would have done well with a more fleshed-out combat system in particular.
- 8.0The game isn’t without hiccups, and it won’t give you the same vast freedom the mainline games do, but Horizon Call of the Mountain is still a breathtaking VR adventure, a fun side chapter in Horizon lore, and a great kickoff to the PS VR2’s original lineup of games.
- 8.0Horizon Call of the Mountain is the definition of a day one hardware title, and a project that fulfills that dream. It shows off the shiny new PSVR 2 in style, builds upon a previously established exclusive-IP-based world, and tells its own story without retreading on what was done previously.
- 7.0With some fresh ideas, huge scope, and clever adaptation of an existing property without relying on a simple remake, Horizon Call of the Mountain is an important game for VR. However, I'm not sure it's a great one.
