Kong: Survivor Instinct is a 2.5D action platforming game. It is set in the Monsterverse world, which includes such pop culture icons as Godzilla and King Kong. What's more, the whole thing takes place shortly after the events of the movie Godzilla vs. Kong from the Legendary studio. The game was created by the independent Polish studio 7Levels, whose portfolio includes the similar genre game Jet Kave Adventure.

Plot

The battle between Godzilla and King Kong destroyed Hong Kong, leaving behind a labyrinth of ruins.

In Kong: Survivor Instinct we play the role of David, an oil rig worker who must make his way through the city and find his missing daughter Stacy. As we go through the devastated city streets, we encounter other surviving residents. Some of them want to help us in our journey, others are fighting with us for resources.

Press Start: 4.5 / 10 by Brodie Gibbons

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.

TechRaptor: 5 / 10 by Blair Bishop

A rugged platformer, but a dire Metroidvania, struggling to truly feel like a part of its namesakes legacy.

Gaming Age: 8 / 10 by Dustin Chadwell

I would certainly recommend checking out Kong: Survivor Instinct when you get a chance. It’s a fun way of making use of the Legendary roster of characters without actually putting you in control of Kong, Godzilla, or the rest. I was far more impressed with it than I expected to be, and I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by it too.
