Skytail

About

Skytail casts you as a cloud-dwelling guardian whose peaceful existence ends when invaders snatch your companion’s young. You’ll use telekinetic powers to fight through floating ruins and stormy skies, relying on hand-tracking gestures to grab, smash, or launch enemies. Combat feels visceral, swipe to shatter obstacles, twist to rip objects apart, or build momentum to hurl creatures like live grenades. The open-world exploration blends platforming and environmental puzzles, with each area shaped by weather and terrain. The game shines in its intuitive control scheme, which turns VR hand movements into direct, satisfying actions. While some online groups note occasional gesture recognition hiccups, most praise the creative combat options and serene visuals. With 8.2/10 on Metacritic and over 10 hours of story-driven play, Skytail offers a focused adventure that leans into VR’s strengths without overcomplicating the core loop.
