Is Klaymen Klaymen 2 - Skullmonkey no Gyakushuu still worth playing in 2026?
The Japanese edition of Skullmonkeys, this Neverhood sequel swaps the point and click adventure for a 2D platformer where Klaymen faces the evil Klogg, still in a clay sculpted world. The claymation art direction, the offbeat humour and the inventive soundtrack keep the series' unique identity. The sometimes imprecise handling and uneven difficulty slow the fun. A singular, charming platformer for fans of original design and handcrafted curiosities.
