I don’t know about you but I thought things couldn’t get any worse after the release ofThe Lord of the Rings: Gollum.However, I have seemingly been proved wrong with the arrival ofSkull Island: Rise of Kongthat has already been hailed as the worst game of 2023.
Despite being the firstKing Konginspired game in almost 20 years,Skull Island: Rise of Kongis already being labelled a “disaster” despite only being released on 17 October. The game follows the ape as he sets out on a quest to avenge his murdered parents at the hands of the alpha predator, Gaw.
Take a look at the game in action below.
What sounds like a pretty straight forward action-adventure story is anything but asSkull Island: Rise of Kongis already sitting at a ‘mostly negative’ rating onSteamand 2.4 ‘generally unfavourable’ user rating onMetacritic. With one user review simply saying “Bruh…”, I think we know all we need to know about IguanaBee’s title.

“IguanaBee games more like IguanaBee rid of this game from mySteamlibrary,” read another review. Another praised the game but also criticised its “bad combat, bad visuals, poor level design, boring boss fights” as well as reports of the game crashing GPUs.
“This is an actual video game, not a SFM meme-project that I initially thought it was. Its absurdity rivals a toddler’s scribble, makingGollum’s video game seem like a masterpiece,” read one Steam review. “This catastrophe appears as if a crack-addled con artist designed it, aiming to scam unsuspecting five-year-olds. A disaster in every pixel.”
Some reviews tell a very different story though. Those who are enjoying the fact that the game has become a huge meme have been leaving it perfect 10 out of 10 scores. “Literally sent chills up my spine, incredible,” read one, while another added, “All I gotta say is this is a masterpiece.” Very funny.
