Kong: Survivor Instinct Offers a Unique Take on the Monsterverse

The new Metroidvania-style game delivers a human-focused narrative amidst Titan chaos.

Kong: Survivor Instinct is a 2.5D action-adventure game set after the events of Godzilla vs. Kong.
Players assume the role of David, an oil rig worker searching for his missing daughter in a post-apocalyptic world.
The game features a mix of cinematic platforming and Metroidvania-style exploration with minimal backtracking.
While praised for its tense escape sequences from Kong, the game suffers from clunky combat mechanics and a lackluster narrative.
Despite its flaws, the game attempts to offer a fresh perspective within the Monsterverse, focusing on human survival.
