Horizon Call Of The Mountain

Shadow Carja don't skip arm day

You’ve got to hand it to Horizon COTM, when it comes to making you put your digits to work few games are quite as good as this clamber-’em-up. While it might be a bit of a one-trick Strider, that trick is constantly presented in new and interesting ways across its lengthy (especially for a VR title) single-player campaign.

You play as Ryas, a Shadow Carja who’s been broken out of prison and offered a chance to redeem himself for the role he and the rest of the Shadow Carja had as antagonists in Zero Dawn. While you never get to see yourself, he’s full of character as he grumbles to himself through the adventure, on the tracks of his brother who went missing while investigating strange occurrences taking place on – you guessed it – a mountain.
