It has some real navigation issues, but once you get past those, this is a title that anyone with a PSVR helmet should be checking out. After all, there's no better use for virtual reality than to peer through the eyes of a giant Golem and smash things to smithereens.
When it comes to both its cinematic and gameplay elements, Golem manages to remain an enjoyable and engaging tale throughout.

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

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.
If you have a PSVR and you like sword fighting/adventure games, I highly recommend it.

I really feel that Golem is a short jump away from being one of PSVR's best titles. If the movement controls were more intuitive and the tracking of the Move controller in battle was more accurate it would be an amazing game. I loved the gameplay loop and the combat is superb when it functions correctly. I really enjoyed Golem most of the time but I feel some people will get annoyed with it too easily, even I did at times.
While there were many compelling reasons to take a chance on Golem, there were far too many technical issues marring the overall experience. When consumed in bits-and-pieces, the component parts could all stand on their own with little problem. It’s only when these individual parts coalesced that the seams begin to show a bit more prominently.
To the serious shortcomings already mentioned we must then add a survey of inadequate body movements and a roguelike component capable not so much of raising the challenge rate, but rather the frustration level reached by the player.
A game of exploration and combat that’s hamstrung by PlayStation VR’s unreliable motion-tracking and a movement system seemingly designed by someone who hates you.
The nearly unbearable movement, best-avoided combat, and frustrating progression system makes it a game that’s an absolute chore to play though and one of PSVR’s biggest disappointments.
this a fkn masterpiece vr experience! martyn o donnell is a genius! now i understood why he chose vr game as their studios debut game! he used vr technology nd the stellar soundtrack to give maximum immersion which very few ps vr games could do. in my opinion the soundtrack just too me to a trans like state! and the gameplay of this game was so lit! generally vr games dosent have depth in their gameplay.. but as always Jaime griesemer some how nailed the 30 seconds of fun, even in a vr game! at final note thank you high wire games for such a awesome vr game! we will support you guys in the journey!
