For PlayStation VR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain, you end up in the virtual shoes of a Shadow Carja grunt called Ryas who gets tossed into the wild with experiences that include engaging the local robotic fauna in combat with a bow, several hair raising climbing sequences and familiar scenery that Aloy likely would have traversed back in the main game.

This survival FPS needs you to conduct active inventory management by digitally strapping on gear so you’ll have to manually reach over your shoulder to open your pack while conducting careful, high-stakes melee combat with all the usual melee weapons including the more popular assortment of small arms seen in most FPS games like rifles, shotguns and SMGs.
