WellPlayedEdward DarlingApr 20217/10Demon Skin cherry-picks mechanics from your favourite games and presents them in a deliciously gory fruit salad.

Seasoned GamingRyan McleodApr 20217.5/10Aside from a small handful of mechanical drawbacks, Demon Skin delivers an action-filled adventure worthy of attention, especially for those seeking a challenging experience

God is a GeekMick FraserApr 20215/10Demon Skin isn't a bad game, but it is ropey and certainly needed more work where the animations and menus are concerned.

WccftechChris WrayApr 20213.5/10Demon Skin is a game that tries; it shows potential but fails due to missed opportunities and a lack of refinement. The combat is decent – though it can suffer from movement issues and unfair AI - and the game features good environments, but everything else proves to be a letdown. The story is incomprehensible, with no buildup, engagement or payoff, and the level design features far too many annoying, inexplicable, and often cheap instakill traps. It's not impossible to find some good aspects, but they're fighting a tidal wave of nitpicks and negatives.

Gamer EscapeTimothy HyldahlApr 20213/10At its core, it has a plot they seem to be trying to do something original with, and a combat system that makes blocking more engaging. They could have done so much more, but at the end of the day I cannot recommend getting this.
