These reviews confuse me. With the current state of games in 2025, this is an absolute gem. Exactly what it says on the box, despite the "Letterboxd" reviewers slamming it for pretentious reasons.
Skin Deep provides 10+ hours of fun, with an interesting yet optional story to go along with it. The art style and delivery is phenomenal, and reminds me of the gems made in the Source 1 engine a-la TF2.
Each level is familiar, yet provides a context dependent twist, and no mechanics become overused as the pirate variety forces you to mix things up.
Even if you don't like playing single player story games, give this one a try, I promise.
