I think "Gawl work and no play makes Kong a dull game" really needs to be appreciated more because the devs were not paid well and were forced to make the game in one year with extreme crunch times, along with that the team was quite small. Like I don't think there is a universe similar to ours where those four things are true and a good game comes out of it, except for Majora's Mask.

I've seen videos of "The Walking Dead Destinies" that brought up this game. Oddly enough, that and this game were published by the same studio, "GameMill Entertainment". GameMill also published the now infamous "Gollum" game, as well as an "Avatar: The Last Airbender" game. Sounds like this studio is the new "LJN".

If you're talking about the King Kong movie tie into the Peter Jackson film, the reason the game turned out so great, outside of being directed by the same guy that directed the Rayman games and Beyond Good & Evil, is because Jackson was a producer for the game and a video game aficionado.

I'm surprised there was no mention of the MonsterVerse here, since Kong currently has a big blockbuster movie series going on right now that this game doesn't tie in with at all (even though it sounds like it should, what with Kong's parents killed by a giant reptile (which should be a Skullcrawler instead of Gawl), Kong finding remnants of his people's old civilization, etc).

2023 has been a bizarre year for video games. On one hand you have the remakes of System Shock, Dead Space and Resident Evil 4, Tears of the Kingdom, Marvel's Spider Man 2, Alan Wake 2, Super Mario Bros Wonder, Pizza Tower, Baldur's Gate 3, Star Wars Jedi Survivor and Street Fighter 6. But on the other hand you have Forspoken, Redfall, The Lord of the Rings Gollum, Starfield (although some could argue it is a good game),The Walking Dead Destinies, Skull Island: Rise of Kong and The Day Before. It became the war of good and bad games.
