Critic Reviews
- 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.
Ian · Nov 15, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - L’esperienza partorita dai ragazzi di 7Levels con Kong: Survivor Instinct è decisamente buona, salvo alcuni scivoloni – forse voluti – su una trama davvero tirata per i capelli ed estremamente forzata, ma tutto sempre a favore di una struttura e meccaniche di gioco che per quanto folli per alcuni versi, riescono a essere convincenti nel quadro generale. Ci si diverte, c’è un po’ di follia e Kong distrugge tutto. Bene così. Forse è giusto non chiedere altro.
Gabriele Barducci · Nov 14, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Kong: Survivor Instinct is enjoyable with engaging story, challenging combat, and clever obstacles.
Ray Remigio · Nov 12, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Make your way through city turned monster battleground in your search for answers to what is going on.
Chris O'Connor · Nov 08, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Kong: Survivor Instinct ofrece un giro interesante al ponernos en la piel de un hombre común que debe rescatar a su hija en vez de la del poderoso primate. Es un metroidvania bien ejecutado basado en el Monsterverse con toques de supervivencia y una trama centrada en la crudeza. Aunque sin grandes pretensiones al menos mantiene las cosas interesantes.
Rubén E. Castillo A. · Nov 06, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - For King Kong fans, Kong: Survivor Instinct is most certainly a significant improvement over last year’s Kong offering. But then, it pretty much had to be.
Gareth Brierley · Oct 27, 2024 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Setting a Metroidvania-style platforming adventure against a backdrop of building-razing beasts is certainly an intriguing idea, but unlike its towering cast of kaiju cameos, Kong: Survivor Instinct itself simply doesn’t measure up. Its story and characters are underwritten, its ravaged urban playground is eye-catching but not particularly surprising to explore, and its combat fails to evolve enough to keep the fights interesting over the course of the journey. The occasional room-rocking escape sequences do literally shake things up, but they’re few and far between and only distract from the otherwise uncomplicated platforming for short bursts at a time. Kong and his kind may hail from an alternate world hidden deep inside the Earth’s core, but the actual gameplay of Kong: Survivor Instinct is strictly one-dimensional.
Tristan Ogilvie · Oct 22, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Kong: Survivor Instinct looks rather nice, and its 2.5D action-adventure gameplay is somewhat enjoyable despite being quite basic. It's just a shame that there's so much clunky human-on-human combat, which is not fun in the slightest, and that manipulating its gargantuan monsters is simply a case of gathering collectibles.
Richard Seagrave · Oct 22, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - It's a real shame because there's a promising premise here that could've delivered something unique beyond the usual 3D kaiju brawlers. For a human-focused story, it's unfortunate that more time wasn't put into this, and while exploration is passable, the gameplay soon falls into repetition. Unless you're a die-hard fan of Legendary's Monsterverse, it's difficult to recommend this over other Metroidvanias.
Henry Stockdale · Oct 22, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Mesmo com um combate aquém do esperado e pouca presença de sua maior estrela, Kong: Survivor Instinct consegue capturar bem os conceitos do chamado Monsterverse e oferecer uma boa jornada humana diante a destruição promovida por estes grandes titãs, aproveitando-se de uma narrativa universal de busca e mecânicas típicas de exploração e solução de puzzles.
