WayTooManyGamesLeonardo FariaNov 20235/10I was sure Skull Island: Rise of Kong was going to be a surefire disaster of biblical proportions, but its Xbox Series port just ended up being a halfway competent, albeit an utterly mediocre platformer. It has some borderline acceptable controls and performance, but is marred by poor level design, uninteresting combat, hilarious cutscenes, and possibly the worst sound design to be included in a commercially released video game.

IGNPhil HornshawOct 20233/10Skull Island: Rise of Kong is a boring, buggy, totally unambitious game that isn't even interesting in its failures.

The JimquisitionJames Stephanie SterlingNov 20232.5/10It’s the kind of game that makes the case for some sort of independent trading standards body in the game industry. I say this with all due gravity - The Game Mill should not have been allowed to sell Skull Island: Rise of Kong. In an industry with adequate customer protections, it should be recalled.

PC GamerLewis ParkerOct 202315/100The game barely qualifies as playable given its myriad of technical issues, but even when it is working as intended, you'll wish that it wasn't.
