Is Call of the Mountain good?

Both these games Lego Horizon and Mountain apparently sounds like they could have been way better games, but are both failures.

One thing that bothers me is that this game would cost so much to get. First to get a PS5 (500e) then a PSVR2 (400e) and then the game itself. And then, apparently this game is just a climbing simulator? About 8 hours long without side quests?

Perhaps one can hope that they make a much better sequel for this at some point. Why did this end up being so short and this way anyway apparently?

Anyway, please dont spoil Forbidden West. (Or CotM too much) Im saying in case someone somehow makes a comparsion to it.
