Dec 17, 2024Behemoth delivers on one of the most unique gaming experiences I’ve ever had the privilege to play. Thanks to VR and thanks to Skydance, you can now savor the fantasy of facing a multistory in height colossus and feeling like a badass when you defeat one. This game would be a masterpiece, with tighter game controls and fewer penalizing checkpoints. Instead, it ends up being very good.

Jan 5, 2025Skydance's Behemoth is the kind of VR success story we'd like to see more of. Skydance Games delivers another polished, addictive production. A major studio in the discipline.

Mar 19, 2025Skydance's Behemoth stands out for its intense combat and immersive exploration. The well-structured narrative and effective use of PlayStation VR2 features provide an engaging experience. However, some players may find the learning curve challenging and the battles physically demanding.

Dec 9, 2024A game about fighting office block-sized monsters, where you spend most of your time battling far less interesting human-scale enemies, with clumsy and repetitive melee combat that pales next to the all-too-few behemoth fights.

Dec 11, 2024Skydance's Behemoth is an adequate VR game that peaks during some stunning boss battles.

Dec 13, 2024Skydance's Behemoth offers a huge amount of spectacle with the four giant creatures you'll take down over the course of your time with it, but spectacle is the majority of what's on offer. It's a shallow game with a combat system that never challenges you to evolve your tactics (even when/if it's working properly), a repetitive gameplay-loop, runtime bloating encounters and box-pushing puzzles, and a story that does nothing new with uninteresting characters. Traversing around with a grapple hook and climbing the giant beasts at least proved both consistently fun and an interesting gameplay experience in VR, and it has its fair share of visually striking moments, but that isn't enough to recommend it.

Dec 9, 2024While there is some excitement to be had, neither the action nor the story would draw me in in a meaningful way – partly because contrary to what the title suggests, giant enemies are rarely part of the game.
