Kong: Survivor Instinct offers an exciting concept by setting a Metroidvania adventure against the backdrop of Monsterverse lore. With detailed environments and stunning scenes involving giants, the game’s lack of sophisticated gameplay and limited combat mechanics prevent it from reaching its full potential. While it succeeds in creating a visually pleasing and occasionally exciting experience, Kong: Survivor Instinct lacks storytelling and gameplay variety, making it a solid but incomplete addition to the Monsterverse.

With its dynamic combat, customization options, and sprawling world, it’s a fun ride for fans, though it may struggle to hold the attention of those unfamiliar with the series.

Night Springs may be short, but it delivers an unforgettable, impactful experience. Each episode has its own unique style, from the action-packed chaos of Number One Fan to the eerie, puzzle-filled atmosphere of North Star, and the stunning narrative experience of Time Breaker. While the DLC doesn’t offer many groundbreaking gameplay mechanics, the storytelling, humor, and world-building more than make up for its brevity. For fans of the Remedy Connected universe, this DLC not only expands on Alan Wake 2, but also hints at what might come next in the evolving multiverse. At its core, the expansion doesn’t simply repeat the old story; instead, it builds on the original, enhancing its depth and resonance while inviting both newcomers and returning players to fully immerse themselves in the world of Alan Wake.
