VR games allow us to tackle a wide range of experiences after all, some involving heights and other dangers that are much more visceral and up-close-and-personal than anything in more flat-screen experiences. That’s even more important with virtual reality than it is with a traditional console or PC game, because not only is there a cost involved, there’s also the idea of comfort. VR is such a personal experience that by offering gamers and potential buyers just a little sample of a game, it allows them to work out if it’s for them when it comes to the eventual purchase. Combat could be a bit more fluid and climbing could have more interesting challenges, although it certainly stacks up to Half-Life: Alyx in terms of immersion. Check out why we game it a respectable in our review.There’s also another value to having those VR demos too – finding your comfort level. Horizon Call of the Mountain is a single-player adventure that showcases some of the best graphics you’ll find anywhere in VR.
That probably why you won’t see Gran Turismo 7 or Resident Evil Village on the list, both of which offer PSVR 2 support via free updates. Notably, Horizon Call of the Mountain was included in a prominent PSVR 2 hardware bundle, which isn’t calculated in last month’s top downloads since only PS Store purchases are included, and not game upgrades or games bundled with hardware. Horizon Call of the Mountain, undoubtedly a product of sizable investment by Sony, only managed to eke out third place in the US/Canada and the EU, taking second place in Japan, which on the outside may sound a tad disappointing to the Sony-owned developers Guerilla Games and Firesprite. In it, players race across lush, photorealistic environments including ice caves in Antarctica, tropical locales in Costa Rica, storm waters in Norway, and the stark canyons of Australia. The paddling movement mechanic is also something that works really well in VR too, which we hope more games will make use of thanks to just how immersive it can be. Taking the top spot across the US & Canada, the EU and Japan is Kayak VR: Mirage, a kayak racing sim initially released on SteamVR headsets in 2022 by Amsterdam-based indie studio Better Than Life. The headset’s first monthly top download chart has revealed a big shift in which games are taking an early lead in the headset’s growing library. PlayStation VR 2 launched late last month alongside more than 40 titles, which included games entirely new to the platform as well existing games from other platforms and upgraded PSVR titles.
