    Kong: Survivor Instinct is a solid enough Metroidvania. Don’t be expecting much in the way of Kong himself, as he and other titans are reduced to bit parts. You’ll be fighting off human antagonists, with the main baddie being Alan Jonah as previously played by Charles Dance. Combat is OK, but you’ll see little nuance in enemy encounters. The titan encounters are made frustrating due to miserly checkpointing, but we still had a fair bit of fun with this.

    Kong: Survivor Instinct offers an interesting twist by putting us in the shoes of an ordinary man who has to rescue his daughter and not in the powerful primate side. It’s a well-executed Metroidvania based on the Monsterverse, with survival elements and a storyline focused on gritty realism. While it doesn’t aim too high, it manages to keep things interesting.

    By backseating Kong and having a drab human narrative serve as the vessel for this game’s monotonous action, Kong: Survival Instinct ends up feeling like a colossal, kaiju-sized dud that does little to lick the wounds of last year’s Skull Island and, if anything, further dampens the great ape’s reputation.
