News Horizon Fans Can't Believe How Short Aloy Is in PSVR2
Tough as nails, though
We’ve got to be honest, we noticed it too: Aloy is short. While you never really get a sense of the character’s height in the main PS5 and PS4 games, we’d always assumed she was a towering young lady, given her superhuman acts of strength. But no, PSVR2 launch title Horizon Call of the Mountain confirms the opposite:...
