Skin Deep is a tactical stealth game with varied methods of approach, unique mechanics, and interesting design. While this game didn't click with me for whatever reason, I see merit to this game's design and direction that I think it's still worth checking out. I liked how there's a balancing system for playing violent vs pacifist. Where if you have a higher body count, you need more walkie-talkies and to mimic several voices during the security check-ins. And if you have a lower body count, it gets more difficult to sneak out and escape when there's several eyes and lots of tough guards. Both methods of play feel accounted for and equally/uniquely challenging. The first playthrough is fun in familiarizing the level layout, spotting weaknesses and blindspots, and accumulating more and more tools. Either to distract enemies or quietly remove them. And then you have to manage dealing with the heads, or else they come back. I think my issue with the game was friction. It feels like both a lot to learn and much more of a commitment to get into. The tutorials do a good job, and it doesn't throw you into the thick of problems that you can't intuit how to solve. But my play sessions devolved into looking upon this game, and thinking about all the steps I would need to go through to play it. Between re-reading and replying to the emails, redoing the tutorials that I already did before calling it quits. Then I have to start the mission, wait for that to load and go through. There's extra steps I need to do to play the game. And then when I'm in a level; I have to learn these complex level layouts, figure out where to get some items, figure out how to unlock the vents and slowly have the level bend to my whims. It all culminates into a mental stack that takes increasing mental gymnastics to be ready and want to play. I still enjoyed this game and see the value in it. But I don't feel like finishing it for now. I recommend this game to medium to hardcore audiences, stealth fanatics, and people that enjoy the mechanical nuances of games such as Cruelty Squad. The art style and humor are also worth it too.
Starts off as a fun if bit janky experience of sneaking about and freeing cats. I'd say by about 60%, the game started feeling a bit samey, gameplay wise. That said, Blendo has as always managed to make a quirky world which is fun to explore. The settings may be limited to mostly just space ships this time around, but each ship has its own function and personality, and in most there are entertaining notes left behind hinting at fun goings-on in these spaces. If you enjoy stealth. Have the patience to prowl around like a housecat, and have near-slapstick level "fights", as you try to neutralize an enemy without appropriate weaponry. I can recommend this as a fun experience. If, on the other hand, you want an action game, high fidelity graphics, super serious storytelling... yeah you would never even have started reading reviews for this game.
An imsim where I actually feel like I need to engage with the environment rather than just sneaking up behind every enemy and choking them unconscious. Instead I'm using a soap dispenser to create a flammable cloud and then tossing a bolt against the bulkhead to make a spark, exploding that pirate in a satisfying fireball.
Skin Deep is a fantastic example of signposting as good design! Putting labels on nearly every interactable object to simultaneously informs the player what the gameplay purpose of it is and leans into absurdity for comedic effect. Sure, players could reasonably intuit that "banana peels are slippery" as a rule, but a warning label highlighting the cartoonishness does a lot to draw them into the internal logic of the game. Then once the player is into the flow of the gameplay, those signpost elements don't come off as obstructive or annoying, but rather background gags that obviously should be there! it's beautiful.
The good: - The sandbox is very interactive - Systems are easy to understand and interact with, with predictable and logical outcomes - Experimentation is highly encouraged by the game design, mistakes are recoverable via in-game systems, save scamming is not necessary - The game doesn't try very hard to hide useful information in the notes and provides convenient tools to find, read and recall them - No punishment for choosing a particular play style - Hand crafted levels with diverse gimmicks to exploit The keep in mind: - The plot is here just for some very basic comedy - No progression between levels, no shops or skills. Your are limited by the things present on the level - Gun play is not the primary style - No "infinite" mode, only the campaign with the ability to replay the levels after completion Completed in 11 hours. Overall, very good stealth-based immersive sim
