- “Gameplay revolves around a structured stealth loop that alternates between hiding and searching.”
- “The flashlight becomes a central mechanic, offering visibility but also increasing risk, forcing players to balance information gathering with exposure.”
- “This game is absolutely terrifying and I love it; the gameplay manages to keep you on the edge of your seat and it's such a clencher.”

The graphics of "123 Slaughter Me Street 2" feature a gritty, low-light aesthetic that complements its horror theme, with a mix of low-poly retro art and modest graphical fidelity. While some players appreciate the improved visuals and atmospheric design, others criticize the optimization issues, including bugs and frame rate drops.

- “Visually, 123 Slaughter Me Street 2 embraces a gritty, low-light aesthetic that suits its tone.”
- “The low-poly retro art style is gorgeous, and while the more realistic style of SMS 2 is still good-looking, it is not optimized very well.”
- “Panic, dread, fear, and many more elements packed into this multi-level survival game with stunning graphics.”
- “The graphics look bad. I'm sorry, I know they tried their best, but oh my god, I feel like I'm walking inside a free Unity house model. The design itself is also a little bad, and I have no idea why, but the fur of the 'demons' looks horrible to me. I don't know if it's my PC or some update, but they are really bad looking. It's probably some glitch because of my PC, but I don't think it's something that hard to fix.”
- “The game's a bit buggy too when it comes to graphics sometimes, like a whole lot of clipping, FPS drops on the later levels (albeit slight ones) because of some kind of effect used by the game that makes you feel like you're drunk, and a few other miscellaneous bugs, like I once shut a door on my face accidentally and fell through the floor outside of the house, falling endlessly in a pitch-black abyss.”
- “While the graphical fidelity is modest, the environments are carefully designed to support both atmosphere and gameplay.”

The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with players reporting significant framerate drops, particularly during chases and in later levels, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite some appealing art styles, the performance issues are notable, especially when compared to newer titles, leading to frustration with controls and lighting. While it may run adequately on decent PCs, many users find the optimization lacking and reminiscent of poorly optimized games from previous generations.
- “- Runs smoothly (for fairly decent PCs at least)”
- “And even then, what little flourishes the game does have, like PS1-like vertex-snapping, its pixelation filter, and the subtle sway to foliage, does basically little to the game's performance.”
- “It's funny because it does so little in a short amount of time; a lot of the reasons I can boldly say such a thing is because of poor optimization, lazy design, horrible AI, and a generally stupid concept.”
- “The last 2 levels in particular were difficult because of the poor optimization.”
- “Speaking of optimization, how can a Unity game from 2016 run worse than an Unreal Engine 5 game from 2024?”
