Skullmonkeys is a standout title on the PlayStation, pushing the console's capabilities with its stunning 2D claymation visuals and high-quality FMV sequences. As the sequel to The Neverhood, it transitions the series into a challenging 2D platformer. Players control Klayman through 90 levels across seven bizarre worlds, using "butt-bounces" and eccentric power-ups like the Universe Enema to defeat Klogg’s simian army. What makes it essential for collectors is its unique aesthetic—created entirely from real clay—and its legendary, quirky soundtrack by Terry S. Taylor. The game's high difficulty curve and bizarre humor, including the infamous "Secret Bonus Room" song, offer a platforming experience unlike any other on the system. For those seeking a visually distinctive and mechanically tight retro challenge, Skullmonkeys remains a prized gem in the PS1 library that showcases the creative risks of the 32-bit era.
