Skydance's Behemoth - First Impressions And Graphics Comparison
- Skydance's Behemoth officially launches, bringing an ambitious narrative adventure and towering foes that aim to challenge players as they cross the Forsaken Lands.
- Players take on the role of Wren, a solitary hunter tasked with shattering a curse that plagues both his body and village.
- Significant aliasing was present in the Quest 2 version, making some text in the game difficult to read, resulting in player impediments. The PlayStation VR2 version offers an upgrade in visuals displayed with OLED screens.
- PC VR version has outstanding graphics, but the game keeps crashing. A few patches have been announced but still no word on PC VR updates.
- Tele-grab mechanics are cumbersome in the heat of battle, leading to minor frustrations, particularly when attempting to quickly pick up dropped weapons or health.
- Skydance is pushing the boundaries of both scale and engagement. At launch, while the title excels on PS VR2 and Quest 3, it struggles a bit on Quest 2 and wouldn't even run on PC.
- Companion graphic novel has been provided that explores the game’s intricate lore, and extends the overall experience, allowing players to better connect with Wren and the challenges ahead.
- The narrative keeps players engaged and progression flowing, however, the voice acting does falter somewhat, sounding flat against the game’s score and surrounding sound effects.
- Standing before the Behemoths is an awe-inspiring moment and one of sheer delight and terror, the game is a testament to Skydance's mastery of world scale.
- Skydance's Behemoth is ready for you to answer the call and end the curse of the Behemoths, so grab your weapons, sharpen your skills, and prepare to face titans.

‘Skydance’s Behemoth’ Review – A Colossal Step Forward in VR Action-Adventure Gaming
- Skydance’s Behemoth showcases a lot of hard-won lessons in VR design, which is mostly thanks to the studio’s pioneering work on its most successful VR game to date: The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners (2020).
- In VR though, there are precious few that provide such a monster-sized offering, and do it in a way that feels oh-so-satisfying.
- Behemoth is a physics-based combat game with a heavy emphasis on melee, so as you’d expect, the strike and parry system isn’t overly burdened with artificial moments to slice at baddies, giving you a good measure of creativity in how to approach situations.
- The second half of the game almost exclusively features armored enemies, requiring you to rely more heavily on your strength, and use the three legendary weapons dolled out throughout the game, including a two-handed sword, a bow with auto-regen arrows, and an armor-breaking axe—all of them upgradable at conveniently placed forges using the game’s sole upgrade currency that you can loot from chests, Coloss Alloy.
- As voiced protagonists go, I actually don’t hate Wren—or the witchy companion in his head, who definitely has ulterior motives.
- In all, if I handed a Quest 3 to you even five years ago with Behemoth loaded up, it would be hard not to be impressed at the strides developers have been able to eke out of mobile hardware.
- Behemoth is a pretty physical game, although it equally supports seated or standing play, which may help you eke out a long play session without fatigue.
- Standard VR locomotion options (no teleport) are also here, catering to hardcore smooth-turners and snap-turners alike, both of which are variable strength, and provide variable sizes of vignettes.
- Other than the story being a little predictable and the AI enemies feeling a bit too artificial at times, Behemoth overall is impressive.
- I never felt too beleaguered by the story, and there was always a good reason to continue, as the game presents a wide variety of levels to tackle and interesting set pieces of lumbering Behemoths, teasing the encounters yet to come.
