Skellboy Reviews
Rich unearths the good, bad, and unstable in this Skellboy review. Should you pick this title up immediately, or hold off on patches?
The visuals are adorable and fun, but technical issues muddle gameplay. The back half features more exploration and enjoyable side quests, but the first part is slow-paced and straightforward. If you think the charm of the aesthetic can carry you through the low points, it's worth reaching the highs, but if not, Skippy might be better left in the ground.
Skellboy is an action-RPG that succeeds at first blush, but it fails to pull you in for the long run.
Skellboy's strong points come from its writing and visual identity, not from its combat and gameplay. While there are certainly some unique mechanics to keep the game going, there isn't much there to keep players invested. The game is enjoyable enough to get through the story alone, just don't expect a deep gameplay loop within.
