COGconnectedLou SytsmaDec 202482/100Behemoth 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.

CBRChristian BognarJan 20259/10Behemoth is a truly exceptional VR experience. Its brilliant combat mechanics and immersive gameplay deliver a sense of scale and excitement rarely seen in virtual reality. Despite the shortcomings in its narrative and dialogue, the game's stunning environments, unique boss battles, and thrilling Behemoth encounters more than make up for it. It's an epic journey perfect for seasoned VR players or someone considering stepping into the world of virtual reality for the first time. Behemoth is an unforgettable journey that proves just how powerful and exhilarating VR gaming can be, and is a step forward that other developers should study for the next venture into the world of VR gaming.

EurogamerIan HigtonDec 20242/5Fun and challenging swordplay can't make up for bland and repetitive action between behemoths, making this far from the epic adventure it wants to be.

Push SquareAaron BayneDec 20244/10Ultimately, Skydance's Behemoth feels like it's still in its beta phase. The enormity of its Behemoths works excellently in VR, but at almost every turn, the game bogs you down with bugs, repetitive gameplay loops, and underdeveloped level design. Sadly, it also lacks the same sense of place that the developer's previous work has, with its Forsaken Lands feeling painfully dull for the most part. There are moments when the magic shines through, but Behemoth is a massive missed opportunity overall.
