Sker Ritual is in fact a spinoff of a 2020 single player horror game called Maid of Sker, with both titles being developed by Wales Interactive. On the off chance that you are familiar with contemporary mediocre horror titles then you may have already known that, but if not it doesn’t really matter a great deal, given that this is a multiplayer co-op horror game lifting most of its DNA from Call of Duty Zombies.

Thankfully, Wales Interactive did give Maid of Sker an upgrade after release, and these combat mechanics have been implemented into Sker Ritual. We will get into all of the Cod Zombies mode comparisons later, all you need to know for now is that this experience can lead to a few laughs if playing with friends, but the seams of the game’s boundless mediocrity show pretty obviously when playing through the game alone.
