"Skully has its heart in the right place but can&s;t quite execute things correctly. The movement is zippy when you&s;re in ball form, but you&s;re not going to find too many things to challenge you. The puzzle mechanics are good, …"

"Instead, you are presented with jumps that require ultimate precision and obstacles with errors in collision detection which force you to adopt a slow and careful approach. With more attention to details and some more polishing Skully could have been …"

"Skully is a game that is easily forgettable and hardly recommendable. It is something that if you got free through a Games with Gold you would be encapsulated for all of 30 minutes and then likely never play again. It …"

"A frustrating mish-mash of weird and bad ideas that wastes a somewhat enjoyable story and moments of creativity"

"Great puzzle design and a sense of wonder isn&s;t enough to redeem Skully from its platforming shortfalls, in this quirky but frustrating title."

"Skully&s;s basic puzzle-solving and platforming are mostly benign, with occasional shows of both clever design and poor craftsmanship."

"Skully is a masterclass in bad platformer design. Characters that are a chore to handle, sloppy level design, lousy camera controls, irritating puzzles, and a general lack of personality combine to create a profoundly tedious experience. If challenge is literally …"

"The camera is frustrating, but the twitch rolling and platforming mixed with the increasingly devious puzzles makes for a good gameplay combo. Even though the Switch version&s;s visuals are a little rough, which doesn&s;t play nicely with the overall visual …"

"Curious skull in a war between the deity&s;s three siblings offers entertaining gameplay."

"Skully has other issues too. A strange bug meant that I twice lost control of the golems, watching helplessly as they plunged into the nearest hazard. Sometimes when climbing vines, Skully would fall off for no reason. There were invisible …"

"Skully is light-hearted, old-skool fun. In an era of online shooters and battle royale titles it is a breath of fresh air. At times difficult but not overly so, it will respect your platforming skills and have you performing daring …"

"Skully is certainly imperfect, but there is a strong core for Finish Line Games to build upon. The narrative and characters really had an emotional impact by the end, and the game’s setting is quite beautiful for the most part. …"
