I found this game was mostly fun. The weapons are a little too heavy, and sometimes the enemy will hit you through a parry, but that's not the reason for the negative review.
The game doesn't like when you move (in real life), and seems to try and center you if you try weaving, or sidestepping an attack; which feels odd, and for a VR game, is just unresponsive; but that's not the reason for the negative review.
No, I could over look these things, and appreciate the somewhat entertaining combat, if it weren't for one big "feature" that had me wanting to intentionally punch a hole in my wall; and that feature is ranged attacks. Now this may sound like a petty complaint, but they COMPLETELY s*** on the flow of combat. There is no way to avoid being hit by them without precognition, or already having your shield up (if the game doesn't give you a shield for a while you can eat s**). if you round a corner and see an archer they WILL hit you unless you know they're there; and don't even get me started on the knife throwing enemies. At least the archers have the decency to hold a bow, but the damn knife throwing b*****s just look normal until BAM, there's a knife in your sternum. It makes me feel like I've missed something, like in Blade & Sorcery how there's a skill that makes time slow down when a projectile is coming at you, giving you time to react and dodge. As far as I'm aware you just pop out of cover to shoot at them (because you already know they're there, as this is your second attempt) and pop back into cover while you pray the arrow doesn't go through the wall like they sometimes do; and in some areas there is no immediate cover so you just cross your fingers as you beeline for the nearest cover. It also just breaks the flow of things because you CAN NOT get in a duel while there are archers near by, so you either run past the melee enemies like they're not even there, or you bait them out of the main arena to fight them away from the archers. Then the knife throwers will just always hit you anyway. After you pick up the bow the game thinks you'll have so much fun getting into archer battles too, but no, f*** no it's not fun.

This review is completely spoiler-free!

Incredible setpieces, but repetitive combat and a bunch of wasted time. Still very worth it because of how good the setpieces are.

+ The unforgettable spectacle. The game has been consistently dropping my jaw in awe every 20 or so minutes, from beginning to end. Every time, it makes me ask - "how will they top this?". I wasn't dissapointed even once.
The vistas are absolutely gorgeous, and the sense of scale is fantastic. The Behemoths themselves are huge even by usual game standards, but in VR, they look like actual living mountains.
+ The gamefeel. It feels great to move, to slice, to parry, to climb. Almost everything (I don't really like the way two-handed weapons feel) is solid and enjoyable to interact with.
+ The story. While it's nothing special on it's own, I can't call it boring. It's just interesting enough to keep you invested and move you along the incredible It's good enough for what it is, and it doesn't try to be more than it needs to be, so I'd say that's a positive.

- The difficulty. This game has a very bizarre reverse difficulty curve, which means that it's really hard at the beginning and really easy at the end. At the start, it's hard to get used to the enemies' attacks, to dealing with ranged foes, and generally not getting overwhelmed. By the end, nothing really changes in the combat - you get stronger, and the enemies stay almost the same. They can also all be oneshot, which was... detrimental to the overall experience. I was actively challenging myself by not using certain mechanics without being required to.
- The depth. If you're not easily surprised, this game is definitely not for you. In each boss battle, after the initial wow-moment of "Oh my god, I'm really going to fight this thing, am I?", the rest of their gameplay is usually rather repetitive and stale. Though they're short enough that you don't really get bored.
- The padding. The game really likes to waste time. Mind-numbing box-moving puzzles, challengeless parkour sections, and waves of non-threatening goons easily double, or maybe even triple, the game's runtime.

Despite all of the game's (many) shortcomings, it was still a truly unique experience. As someone who has been fascinated by giant monsters since childhood, getting to interact with the many setpieces Skydance's BEHEMOTH has to offer was like a dream come true. For that alone, the game deserves a thumbs up and a recommendation.

Great game. A good story line, fun but difficult boss fights. 10/10 would recommend.
