Skull Island: Rise of Kong is getting some serious backlash online after players stumbled across some PS1-esque quality in-game footage.
The upcoming action-adventure game sees players take on the mantle of King Kong as he goes on the warpath to avenge his fallen parents and kill the alpha predator, Gaw. This single-player title is available later today (October 17) for $39.99 / £34.99 on the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
Publisher GameMill Entertainment has described Skull Island: Rise of Kong on its Steam page as an «exhilarating, third-person action-adventure game… which allows you to experience the origins of the orphaned Kong as he metamorphosizes from a young Kong to the fully mature King of Skull Island.»
Unfortunately, the general consensus doesn't seem to reflect this positive sentiment. Many players have voiced their protest on Twitter concerning the style and graphics of the upcoming King Kong title.
