Rise of Kong Might Be The Worst Game of 2023 - Insider Gaming

Skull Island: Rise of Kong has just been released and it has already been labelled 'a complete scam' - it really doesn't look good.
insider-gaming.com insider-gaming.com

In an extended gameplay video that was released just hours ago, we get a lengthy look at the game – and even a cursory glance reveals some damning points:

  • Movement is awful, with Kong bouncing off the scenery, failing to make contact with ledges, and jumping around as though he was weightless
  • Combat consists of spamming a single button in the direction of an enemy and kind of making contact with them
  • Cutscenes are flat-out bizarre and almost devoid of animations
  • Almost every environment Kong enters is empty, barren, and bland
  • In one scene, we saw the player running for around 30 seconds and seeing essentially nothing following a sequence of jumping between rocks and inexplicably falling off them

Trailers looked ok. I'm a big fan of most of the King Kong movies so I will probably buy this at some point.

Why in the world would you let GameMill work on your IP? They have never released ANYTHING that’s even half way competent, and they never will. The only thing you’ll do is damage your IP by farming it out to this incompetent shovelware studio.

Is that cutscene for real? Like it's really just a stretched out still JPEG of the monster jumping at him? Lol, that's some next level budget cutting for sure.

I watched some gameplay and didn't except it to look this bad. This is how the game starts and gameplay begins at 1:52

WTF with the art direction in this game? Don't they have a graphic designer or something? There's no way assets weren't made by actual artists and put together by a "knows-it-all" programmer in the engine

Finally, a game for us REAL gamers.

A fake gamer played Resident Evil 4 Remake, Cyberpunk: PL, and Baldur's Gate 3 this year and calls themself a fan of the medium.

A REAL gamer is able to cherish Rise of Kong and grasps all the subtle qualities that flies over the phonies' heads.
