With or without smooth motion as a movement option, you can turn your head or even your entire body to face whatever direction you wish. Once you’ve decided how you’ll move forward and backward, it’s time to address turning. Gesture based has you progress by swinging your arms in a walking motion while holding a button on both controllers. Movement is handled one of two ways – “smooth motion” stick-based walking and turning, or “gesture based”. All the way around, in fact! The PSVR2 does not use light tracking to determine position, instead leaning on an impressive array of cameras and infrared to keep track of the headset and controllers. Unlike the PSVR1, however, you can turn around. Like the PSVR1, holding the options button will re-center the headset, should you get spun around.

If you’ve read our reviews on Tobii’s eye trackers on PC, you know that this works remarkably well, allowing you to select items from menus using only your eyes, with a button press to confirm.

Thankfully, the game supports a staggering amount of comfort options. No matter the odds, this climb is now personal.īefore you set off on your grand adventure, you’ll need to calibrate your headset for the experience. A dangerous climb to be sure, but there’s a wrinkle – his brother Urid had already been given this task and has disappeared somewhere on that mountain.

A member of the Shadow Carja clan, Ryas is brought to Sun-King Avad and given one chance to earn himself an unconditional pardon – climb Sunspear and uncover why the valley has recently been flooding with even more machines than before. In Horizon: Call of the Mountain we join Ryas in the most unfortunate starting position of any protagonist – bound, a bag over his head, and headed to his inevitable execution. Aloy’s story is hardly the only development of the 31st century, and Horizon: Call of the Mountain is one such story. In Forbidden West it was taking all she’d learned and striking out into the unknown territories of the West to track down Sylens. In Zero Dawn it was about uncovering Aloy’s mysterious past and her connection with the world at large.

One of my favorite aspects of Horizon: Zero Dawn (review) and Horizon: Forbidden West (review) was the sense of discovery.
