    This game blew my mind. Remember walking around the back yard as a kid, fighting monsters with a stick? It's that, but in a very convincing VR landscape. Combat is heart pumping and not too easy. Sound/music are AAA. Just make sure you adjust the movement settings to your comfort (after this first patch there are more options) for maximum playability.

    Golem is an absolutely fantastic VR experience. Visuals and also the soundtrack is really well done. A very polished overall presentation.

    Golem is nothing to scoff at. It looks and sounds beautiful, it has an open world that can be explored freely, and the sword combat feels satisfying. On the other hand, cumbersome and awkward controls, a decent amount of motion sickness, and a few frustrating game mechanics prevent the title from reaching its potential. If you have a strong stomach and think you can make do with the controls, Golem will provide some joy, even though it is far from a VR masterpiece.

    Golem is a game with some great ideas and flourishes that ultimately falls short through the simplicity of its gameplay. Combat is just too simple to stay exciting for long and constantly forces you to defend, and soon gets repetitive as you fall in battle and have to slowly trudge back through the world. Golem has a beautiful world, but I have no real inclination to return to it again.

    A mysterious and fascinating exploration VR adventure spoiled by bad design choices and poor motion-tracking system.
