   Love it. Great gameplay. Incredibly immersive. They are sorting they issues out and I’m all for that.

   Beautiful game - I like the climbing a lot but you’ve got to be a fan of that of course.

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a fantastic game! The climbing and little puzzles are excellent and you really feel like you're climbing mountains and making progress though a real world compared to flat gaming. The physics and interactive activities such as painting, instrument playing and arrow crafting are a delight and the combat is fast and furious. I think they've done a bloody good job in producing one of the best looking VR games in history. This game is a 9/10 but I have to give it 10 due to all the idiots giving fake reviews.… Expand

However, I was immediately shocked and delighted by the quality of thisThis is my first VR game so I have no VR games to compare this to. However, I was immediately shocked and delighted by the quality of this experience. I felt like I was on an amusement park ride only with no line. Everything looked and felt AAA. This is the high bar that other games need to meet.
   
   The gameplay itself is fun and simple. You climb. You shoot arrows. You craft items by literally putting them together. The enemies are no cake walk. My one gripe is that in the middle of battle, I can get stuck in the crafting screen. Maybe have different back locations to pull different ammo from. Full disclosure: I am prone to motion sickness and I paced myself. I played the 8 hour story in 1 hour increments. The game has clever ways of dealing with motion sickness. Climbing feels like you are pushing the terrain away from you. Walking requires arm swinging and the movement helps. (I tried to pretend walk but kept getting off center.) On rails actions will narrow your vision so you feel like you are looking at a big screen and not messing with your brain. Dodging and turning are “snap” motions like teleporting. After a month of playing with VR, I feel a lot better about VR and this game.
   
   No doubt that VR has its drawbacks. My living room has the bare minimum 6x7 space for VR. I would love a VR room like Troy and Abed’s Dreamatorium. The PSVR2 works with glasses but I recommend you buy lens inserts for it. I wore my smaller spare glasses with a glasses strap to keep them from falling down. I had to crank the PSVR2 to my forehead to keep the lenses aligned. A beautiful game like Horizon gets ugly without proper lens positioning. The lenses need constant cleaning. I keep a lens cloth nearby. VR is also expensive. Of all my PlayStation friends, I am the only one playing PSVR2 games. Horizon makes the most of the tech. If you are going to spend money on VR, this game is a must buy.… Expand

   I would recommend this to anyone who is getting a psvr 2. It's a brilliant showcase of the power of the psvr 2 combined with the ps5. Yes,I would recommend this to anyone who is getting a psvr 2. It's a brilliant showcase of the power of the psvr 2 combined with the ps5. Yes, there is a lot of climbing, but I enjoyed that part of the game and thought it was worth it for the breathtaking views you get. The combat is exhilarating but I did think there was a lack of weapon variety, especially compared to all the climbing tools you get. As a VR game this is a 9/10 for me, but as a horizon game it's more of a 4. But I think you shouldn't view this as a full fledged Horizon game and more like a beefy VR entry title.… Expand

   Not a full and long Horizon Game, like Zero Dawn or Forbidden West but still not bad. it is a AAA-Production and you can see it and it is alsoNot a full and long Horizon Game, like Zero Dawn or Forbidden West but still not bad. it is a AAA-Production and you can see it and it is also expansive for a relatively short playtime. another good thing: it is a colorful and for the most part it is a brighter game, so the mura-effect does not affect this game as much as others (but it is still not invisible!!!).
   
   sadly it does rely on sony's reprojections technique, and it seems like that sony's reprojection technique does not work as well as expected, because it is very visible and it should not. sony reprojection implementation is much more behind compared to asw from oculus. so this game is harder for the eyes because of ghost images (for example: move your hand in front of you or strafe sideways) and this can cause eyestrain and sometimes even nausea. probably, psvr2 games will always fight with some motion blur because of "persistence blur" (thanks sony, f... hdr). if a much more powerfull ps5 pro comes out, the reprojection issue should be solved, because it is not needed anymore, but this is wishful thinking for the future ...… Expand
