For all that you said the game was mostly about climbing, it surprises me that you never mentioned either Climb games. While watching the review and looking at the climbing and how the handholds were highlighted with chalk it's very much like the Climb.

[@joelface]

To be fair, the climbing sections in Horizon Zero Dawn are also highlighted with chalk. But considering this guy doesn't seem to like climbing, he probably never played the Climb games. As someone that loved the Climb games, the climbing sections in this game seem Awesome to me.

@@MasDouc What 's there to upgrade to inferior tech than PCVR today offers with the best combination to HMD and knuckle controllers. Also Valve isn't inclined to bring stuff to consoles just for money, they get ALL the money from Steam they need and if Alyx comes to consoles that means profit sharing giving Sony a piece. The thing is Sony is the one bringing Sony studios to Steam, not the other way around. You wan't Alyx, it's PC and my educated guess of PC for over three decades says it's gonna stay that way. There simply just isn't any incentive for Valve to do this. Anyway it's great that PSVR is finally a proper product and not just a toy like the previous version turned out to be.
