This week on Critical Arcade, Nick and Dave go bananas as they charge headfirst into the explosive, jazz-fuelled madness of Ape Out. Locked away in captivity, they take control of a powerful gorilla determined to smash through cages, corridors, laboratories, and anyone foolish enough to stand in the way of freedom. Every level becomes a desperate breakout as guards swarm in with guns, traps close in from every angle, and the soundtrack erupts into chaotic drums that react to every shove, slam, and body sent crashing through windows.
With its bold comic-book visuals and relentless pace, Ape Out turns every escape attempt into a violent rhythm of panic and destruction. Nick and Dave must use momentum, timing, and pure brute force to survive wave after wave of increasingly armed enemies while searching for the next route to freedom. Can Dave stay calm when bullets start flying from every direction? Will Nick spend the whole episode praising the soundtrack instead of actually playing? And just how many guards can one angry ape launch through a door before someone calls security?
