RISE OF KONG MIGHT BE THE WORST GAME OF 2023​

rise of kong

Today, on October 17th, Skull Island: Rise of Kong releases worldwide, and just like that, some gamers have labelled this title a ‘complete scam’ after seeing what it looks like. In a series of clips and extended gameplay videos, we’ve been handed a terrifying glimpse at the inside of this game, which was developed by ‘IguanaBee’ and published by GameMill.
It doesn’t look good at all.

The Fall of Kong?​

On July 20th, we covered the leak that revealed Rise of Kong, and back then it seemed like a laughable project, boasting bizarre graphics and not much in the way of a backstory. Now that Rise of Kong has hit the market, we can officially say that it’s a frontrunner for the worst game of 2023, potentially edging out LOTR: Gollum, which was so bad the developer gave up making games.
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
See for yourself:
