![]() Seeing a Grazer in the trailer? Cool! Being able to RIDE a Grazer? OUR GAMER DREAM. This would make the Horizon VR experience truly complete. While we didn’t see anything outside of climbing and combat in the trailer, hopefully players will be able to override and mount machines like we’ve been able to do in Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West. Okay, now we get to venture into the Speculation Zone. Will we get to explore a Cauldron, full of brutal machines wanting to kill us? Survey says: probably! WANT: LET US RIDE MACHINES Speaking of snow, it’s hard NOT to notice the big HADES-esque Cauldron machine chilling there on the right. We see several different biomes ranging from the desert and jungle to some snowy forests and peaks. But there are also a few other interesting things of note. From the Horizon Call of the Mountain cover art alone, we see our boy Ryas, holding a bow in one hand and his climbing pick in the other-showcasing the game’s dual combat and climbing elements. However, you CAN judge a game by its cover art (or at least get a bit more information about the game from it). They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. ![]() If the Universal Studios Jaws Ride or Disney’s Jungle Cruise have taught us anything, it’s that you should always keep a watchful eye on the waters around you. You never know who or WHAT may unexpectedly join your river ride journey. Additionally, you can share the experience with friends via your connected PSVR2 display! But don’t think it’s all sunshine and metal shards. ![]() In this immersive experience, players can partake in a VR river ride through the world of Horizon. Horizon Call of the Mountain will feature TWO different game modes: Story Mode and River Ride. Right now, we’ve seen only a bow used for combat, but it will be interesting to see if our climbing picks also give us any kind of melee advantage. During the trailer, we see Ryas pull out a bow-the primary weapon of the Horizon franchise-as he faces down a Burrower, Scrapper, Glinthawk, and even-gulp-a Thunderjaw. You’re going to get up close and personal with some machines AND fight them along the way. THERE WILL BE COMBATĭid you think Horizon Call of the Mountain would be a walk in the dystopian park? HECK NO. Also, we’re all WAY less likely to throw a VR controller into a TV when everything we have to do is above us. Which will be a great change of pace from the standard large ground traversal that non-VR video games give us. It’s a great gameplay choice because it allows the player to vertically explore in this VR space. From the trailer alone, we see Ryas pull himself up a rope, jump between wooden beams, and whip out two handy dandy climbing picks, aka Ice Axes. There will be extensive climbing and exploring in this game. Listen, it’s called Call of the Mountain for a reason. (We love you, Nil.) THERE WILL BE CLIMBING (But we’ll get to that later.) Along with Aloy, we can also expect to see some familiar returning faces. We’re hoping we’ll have the chance to work and fight alongside her… or maybe even override some machines together. Now that we’re playing as a member of the Shadow Carja, it makes sense for Aloy to be wary of us in this adventure. How significant her role in this game is remains up in the air-but hopefully, she’ll come as a friend, not foe. While this was heavily speculated during the initial trailer, it has since been confirmed that you will run into Aloy during your VR adventures. Overall, it will be refreshing and fun to see the world of Horizon through a new set of eyes. After his imprisonment, he was spared execution in exchange for investigating a new threat to the Sundom. But what we know about Ryas doesn’t stop there. So it’s definitely interesting to be stepping into the shoes of one of Aloy’s foes for the first time. They are a splinter group of the Carja, who supported the former Sun King’s war against the other tribes of the continent. For those that need a refresher, the Shadow Carja are one of the many foes of Horizon Zero Dawn. In Horizon Call of the Mountain, you take on the role of Ryas, a member of the Shadow Carja who is now a prisoner of the Sundom.
