PlayStation 4 Critic Reviews

With a near perfect VR implementation and great presentation, Skyworld is a great experience. It has deep gameplay systems that all hinge on each other to create a layered gameplay experience that is easy and fun to play.

Vertigo has done a top job in distilling the strategy genre while making it feel like a fun and natural VR experience. It’s accessible not only in its design but the way you interact with this world and its many moving pieces.

In spite of the shortcomings of its control scheme, Skyworld is a solid and good looking real-time strategy game. It’s also a neat use of VR and something of a dream come true for those used to playing tabletop games that demand more than a little suspension of disbelief.

Skyworld is a fun strategy game for PSVR with tactical battles. The mechanics are too oversimplified to leave a lasting impression but the UI manipulation will hopefully inspire other VR developers to think outside the box.

Skyworld is a somewhat charming title of two halves. On the one hand, its real-time battles for territory make for some mindless fun, but on the other its turn-based grab for resources and progress is nothing short of baffling. Along with clunky controls that frustrate all too often, you’ve got an experience that will struggle to please.
