Critic Reviews for Skin Deep
Skin Deep is an indulgent masterclass in immersive sim shenanigans, but lacks a standout level you'll be telling friends about for years.
Ingenious and characterful, this immersive sim is an absolute delight - particularly when things go wrong.
"At times, it feels like I was playing a game set in the Red Dwarf universe."
While rewarding creativity like any great game in its genre should do, Blendo Games' Skin Deep also offers a refreshingly lighthearted take on the immersive sim.
Skin Deep is a neat, little game that takes recognizable gameplay conventions from immersive sims and repackages them into something smaller and sillier.
Skin Deep is a wacky slice of immersive slapstick that could have used a little more chaos.
Skin Deep cleverly utilizes dozens upon dozens of different gameplay systems and interactions to build a fun, immersive sim that feels great to play. The art and visuals are suited to the comical tone, and there's always more secrets to find. Crashing and instability is a problem, though, especially toward the end of the story.
It can be as funny as any game in the genre, but as far as how much you’ll want to keep playing after the same jokes grow old, that may depend on how much effort you want to put into concocting new ones yourself.
