After 18 years, a new game about King Kong, but ...
Skull Island: Rise of Kong is the first game about the king of gorillas since 2005. It was released on October 17th for a "fair" price of 40 euros, but so according to first impressions, the game is not worth the money. Comparisons with another highly anticipated game from the popular world of The Lord of the Rings immediately appeared. Gollum is one of the worst rated games in the history of gaming. The fans called the new Kong game Gollum 2.
Rise of Kong should put us in the shoes of the most famous gorilla who wants to avenge the death of his parents. With moves reminiscent of human martial arts, we have to deal with the other giants of the jungle. The story and combat look promising on paper. But you might change your mind after watching some gameplay footage.
The game, like Gollum, doesn't even accidentally live up to expectations. Everything from graphic elements, transitions between scenes, textures to the gameplay seems very dry and distant. from what a character like King Kong deserves.
Apparently, the developer is betting that fans will still buy the game because of nostalgia and attachment to the character, but anyone who sees the first footage should immediately change their mind and spend their money on something else.
Users who still have some hope hope that at least the combat or exploration is fun. SodeÄ according to the videos below, this is not the case.
No one wants more. like a minute to beat the poor crab with random blows that are not connected in the slightest. Fans are expectedly and understandably disappointed. They waited 18 years, and when they announced the game, it was a pleasant surprise for everyone. It's not so much about the (too) high expectations of gamers, but the developers obviously simply didn't have a clearly drawn map of what they wanted to create. It is difficult to judge whether the problem was due to miscalculation, haste or mismanagement. However, it is clear that the IguanaBee studio will most likely not be able to rise from the ashes after this disaster.
We believe that they had good intentions, but the game in this state looks more like a "stretch" that you see in some commercials for mobile games, than a game worthy of King Kong.
As mentioned, the game is already out and available for PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
More we have hopes for the upcoming game Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, where we will have to survive in the mine of Moria, recapture it on behalf of all the elves and drive away the sinister orcs. The game is coming to PC on October 24th.
You can also look forward to the continuation of the thriller Alan Wake 2, which will be released on October 27 for consoles and computers. As before, we will explore the grisly scenes, murders and happenings in the city of Bright Falls.
For a more relaxing and enjoyable experience and the ambience will be available on October 31 with the Jusant game, where we will try to climb to the top of a huge tower.
