Skin Deep

9/10

This game is a fantastic time that harkens back to the goofy spy satires that I grew up with in the 90s, games like NOLF; or the campy cultiness of the 60s' Get Smart, The Avengers (yes I mean the Uma Thurman one) or (I say this with absolute reverence) Batman & Robin. The playstyle is very open- Sneak and Pickpocket, nice and stealthy? Do it. Stun the bad guy with a cloud of pepper, jump on his back and smash his face into a monitor? All righty! Sneak outside the ship, break the window and flush the hostiles into space? Get 'er done! All in all, I love it. Campy, goofy and satisfying in all the right ways. Thumbs up from me! (Also, works just fine on native Steam Deck OLED).

YES good

i love doing die hard™ on cat hairdressing ships so i can kill my Self™

Pretty neat!

Beat the game in about 10 hours, and it was a great time. New mechanics were introduced regularly until the end. If there was a DLC that was just 10 more levels, I'd buy it.

Another Blendo Games hit! Skin Deep is an Immersive Sim that continuously expands across 12 levels, continually expanding your tools, enemy variants, and the challenges that you face. It's a great concept executed wonderfully. Every level had me setting a plan, failing hilariously and spectacularly, and then thinking outside the box on how to escape. I love the freedom given in how to solve a problem, as well as the humor built into it (turning on the reel in the DJ booth was a great one). Just like other Blendo titles, characters are boxy, the humor is cheeky, and the music is snappy. There's a lot of love poured into this title and you can feel it. I'm so glad I finally got to explore Nuevos Aires after saving it in Atom Zombie Smasher.
