Review: Beyond the Horizon is a weird self-guided tour of some sort of alien world. There is nothing to interact with here and there is no game as such, this is just about the exploration and the sense of wonder of not knowing what is around the next corner. You can move slowly in any direction you want but if you fly through it you can be done in about 10 mins. Take a little slower and you could make it last for 20-30. While I do love this experience I am not sure it is worth the £3.99 asking price. So I would try and grab it as cheaply as you can. Sometimes you just want to get away from it all for a short while and this app offers just that.
