Skellboy Reviews
Even if Skellboy ran at a smooth 60 frames per second (which it most definitely does not), its underlying issues would be enough to make it an easy game to pass on. All of gaming’s cardinal sins are present here: unskippable fight intros that play every time you die to a gimmicky boss and try again, a paucity of checkpoints, slow movement speed that doesn’t mesh well with all of the mandatory backtracking, and a story so self-satisfied with its lore that it forgets to tell itself in a natural way and ensure that the dialogue always fits inside of the text boxes.
Skellboy has some really interesting mechanics, but has bad performance issues and numerous glitches on the Nintendo Switch.
Skellboy is a Zelda clone with no meat on its bones.
Rich unearths the good, bad, and unstable in this Skellboy review. Should you pick this title up immediately, or hold off on patches?
