Horizon Worlds is a social experience where you can explore, play and create. Discover new places with friends, solve interactive puzzles or form teams to compete in action-packed games. Design worlds of your own or get to know other members of the community and be inspired by their creations. In Horizon Worlds, you're not just a visitor. You're part of what makes it great.
As of January 13, 2022, Horizon Worlds will no longer be supported on Quest 1. After January 13th, Horizon Worlds will still be available on Rift S and Quest 2 headsets.
Could be lots of fun BUT……. There needs to be a separate area for kids and one for adults. The kids get obnoxious and get right in your face. Saw kids bullying each other too. They think they can get away with more since they are anonymous. This could be a great place but I heard some adults saying they won’t come back. One guy got reported and he had no idea why or by who. That’s not fair
Lord of the Flies. Seriously? Within 5 minutes of entering the lobby I'm being followed around by a child hurling all manner of insults and profanity. Then it's all I'm going to report you, I'm going to report you! WTH?! I read the reviews but was still shocked to have experienced so quickly. Luckily someone showed me how to block and then transported me to a game of Zap Zap - which was pretty fun. The kids & their apparent lack of upbringing is going to ruin this app though. Ban these little brats until they can learn how to interact properly.
Obviously y’all need some help. So how can I apply to be a moderator. I don’t know how the moderators operate now but you guys need real people(avatars) in the rooms who can get the children , racists, and overall trolls in real time. I’d happily do an 8 hr shift doing what I do anyways and laying down the law per whatever guidelines are not being followed. Serious inquiry. I was called the N word over 50 times by one child and if there was someone of authority in the room it could have stopped at 2 right then and there.
Kids are definitely the biggest problem. Ever since Christmas, I've been running into way too many kids lately, not just on here but on VR Chat, Rec Room, and more. It concerns me because there's plenty of sketchy people on VR, and not to mention they're really annoying. Oculus(yes, Oculus because this whole "Meta Quest" re-branding is dumb) seriously needs to fix this, start making people provide age verification. ROBLOX did that to allow voice chat. ROBLOX. Let that sink in.
Safety Issue. I see a lot of people here complaining that there are too many kids here, and that they are rude and swearing. That definitely is a buzz kill.
Folks say they're telling the moderators and guides that work for Meta but they claim that Meta won't let them take any action. That's unfortunate.
But I met a lovely 9 year old last night. A real sweetheart. Very chatty, helpful & polite. His Avatar was a grown man who looked 30 years old. The very first thing he said to me was to ask if he had successfully masked his real voice. The last thing he said to me was that he wanted to connect with me and add me as a friend.
This really worried me. There are an unfortunate number of pedophiles out there. This seems like the perfect place for them to "make friends" with children. If Meta doesn't want to bother even attempting to enforce age restrictions because it's too much of a bother, I wish they would consider their potential liability or role in such a potential risk.
I'm posting this on January 6th, so....I hope Meta gets my drift. I would hate to see Meta trying to retroactively censor Oculus the way they are censoring FB AFTER the fact. Figure this out now.
Could be great, Too many children. Way too many children on there. It has so much potential to be something great. I have had some fun interactions with people, but the children can be very obnoxious. I don't want to be hanging out in an adult atmosphere, trying to have an adult conversation with children around. There needs to be some penalty for the parents who allow their children on. They should be banned from the app. It's definitely a safety issue.
Has Potential. One of the biggest "selling points" for me was "no children". Today I had to activate my safe zone for the first time. I was surrounded by kids screaming and yelling. Literally surrounded! I reported a couple of the kids and came out of my safe zone to see these kids surrounded a girl and doing the same and making rude comments.
I love the idea and the possibilities of Horizon Worlds but it needs better control.
Kids need to go…. I had such high hopes for this. Of the 4 to 5 times I’ve tried to explore this app I’ve been trolled by kids every single time. The lack of moderators enforcing ANYTHING is what will end up tanking this concept. I have many years experience in virtual worlds and am really disappointed with the way this is being executed. I rarely write reviews but the level of frustration I have experienced really makes me not want to go back.
Caution children. Hello I joined this app and actually had some very cool interactions with people. I have enjoyed the different options and accessing events. I will say though there are alot of kids in here that are really disrespectful and rude. The adults are trying to socialize and have mature experiences. The moderators need to really keep track of the underage activities and deal with them accordingly. I thought this was supposed to be 18+.
It has some potential but. It looks like a great start And this product has a lot of potential but It seems very bare bones at the moment and it's currently being overrun by kids under the age 13 saying a lot of obnoxious and vulgar things speaking of which it could use a little bit better moderatetion If I was admin or moderator if I saw a kid doing that I would give him an 8 year bann Or until hes old enough to realize the errors of his ways
Mods won't do their jobs! The biggest problem with horizon world's are the moderators! It's supposed to be an 18 plus game but it's like 80% children in there and the mods don't care. I was just on and there was a kid clearly a child on there and I brought up to the moderator, "dude this is an 18 plus game why are you allowing this kid on here?" and his excuse was he couldn't do anything because they sounded Young. When I ask these kids in front of the mod how old they are and they admit to being underage they essentially told me that they can't do anything about it. The excuse I get the most is that it's probably their parents account and they're allowing their kid to use it and they're not going to kick them off for that reason. If this was real life and a 10 year old kid was using their parents ID at an 18 over event they would be kicked out! I've been a mod for everything from discord, IRC , various forms and if we suspect someone's underage we verify we tried to verify to the best of our ability that they are old enough to be on there and I can't say that for horizon worlds. These mods need to do their job. I don't know how they got these jobs I applied for this job as a beta tester with previous experience on forms and management experience in real life and was denied. So I don't know what criteria you have to meet to be a mod on there but as far as I can see the bar set pretty low. What I'm now doing is reporting the moderators every time they don't do their job and will update this review with their user tags so Facebook knows which moderators aren't doing what they're supposed to be and I suggest others do the same
Hoped into the Plaza to be greeted and guided by a Meta Employee, super unique feeling. Explored a bit and it's super cool seeing what this metaverse is already becoming. Really into this concept. It's currently 18+ and that has made the entire experience wonderful. If it stays this way it permanently it trumps any other scocial game. Super excited to build my own world!
I can't wait to see where this game goes and what jorneys I embark on. Please please please keep this 18+.. little kids that scream and cuss and troll are the worst thing in vr and this makes life in the metaverse humble again.
We have 2 new Oculus Quest 2 and both cant get acces to Worlds. We got only acces to the Main Screen. Every time we are trying to connect to a slected world, it stop to loading at Preparing Visitor. And come back to main screen with a Message notice than we cant travel.
Better social experience than I expected. I will start by saying that after watching some other reviews and YouTube videos, I was fully expecting a horde of children yelling once I got into the game. This was not the case, at least for my first experience, instead I went in muted because I'm a bit shy, and ended up talking for quite a while with a few people, one of them (not a community guide, just a regular person) showed us around and explained her experience and how it all worked. We ended up going to a world she created and it was all just a very nice, mature experience. Does the experience have room to grow? Of course, it's just the beginning for a fully developed metaverse, but in my experience so far, this is an amazing first step. I am still going through the creator tutorial but I am glad to say that I will not be spending time in vr exclusively on beat saber anymore, I want to keep exploring, socializing, and creating in this world.
Was fun.... Current Devs need to be fired, New ones need to be hired. Currently this game is just an app for kids to run around and call you the N word all day long. I had three teens threaten to come to my house and rape my wife, they said this right in front of a community guide (person who works for Facebook). The Guide did nothing, after reporting them I was told they did not break any rules. If that’s the environment you want to play in Horizon is for you.
This app is alright but Can be better. If they allowed messenger calling to real world people with video call that would make this app the best on the market. And the smooth walking and turning is great. I would also love it if I can share pictures to more than just Facebook but also instagram too. And the games could be better
Facebook Horizon. I went in here again today. It’s changed a lot. I like it. I met someone in the app. Really nice person. I hope We cross paths again. I was having so much fun my battery died.
I’m upset. I accidentally uninstall Facebook horizon/horizon worlds and I can no longer get in and it’s telling me my account cannot play and I was playing it not too long ago before I accidentally deleted it I’ve tried factory resetting didn’t work I tried whole Lotta stuff and I’m pretty upset
So much potential and I can’t wait! This is the social experience I have been dreaming about. Just the small amount of content we’ve been given so far makes me keep coming back. It’s very smooth and clean (except for some avatar physics and such which should get polished). I just want to support this project until the end because I love the social interactions you can stumble upon, and I love the arena! I love how there are always community guides during business hours to answer your questions. Very nice professional touch. Give it a try and expect more and more to come!
Love the Potential. They need to add screen record/Game record or fix the glitching problems with Android so we can promote this better if I had access to share this through a Facebook live or whatnot I can promote more people to get the VR. Would love Facebook to fix issue with casting to TVs and computers . So more people can enjoy game play
