The music in the game is generally well-received, with some standout tracks, but it tends to become repetitive and may not always match the vibe of the levels. While the randomized tracks add variety, they can lead to awkward silences if levels are completed too slowly, and some players feel that the use of licensed stock music detracts from the overall experience. There are calls for more original compositions to enhance the game's audio identity.
- “It is flashy and beautiful; the music is great, controls are great, and most levels feel good to complete.”
- “The music is overall generally higher quality; I have no idea if it's licensed or original, there are no credits.”
- “For those new to this game, it's like ski-free in first person with a banging soundtrack.”
- “The music appears to be licensed stock music - different music from the original - which does its job, but sometimes does not really fit to the level's vibe.”
- “The tracks are not loopable, so if you, for whatever reason, spend longer than the duration of the music in a level, it finishes off into awkward silence and then repeats from its beginning.”
- “What's surprisingly not as good as the originals is the audio, which doesn't hit quite right--the techno doesn't pulse the same, nor the choir music.”

The graphics have seen significant improvements, showcasing a new cyberpunk aesthetic that many players find visually appealing, though some miss the original art style. However, the lack of any graphical options, including resolution and v-sync settings, has drawn criticism, with some users feeling that the visuals can be overly shiny and hard to read. Overall, while the graphics are polished and modern, the absence of customization options detracts from the experience for many players.
- “Graphic fidelity is much improved.”
- “I'm enjoying it, and the graphics are very good.”
- “A lot of them are positive: the new cyberpunk-like visuals are great.”
- “Lacks any graphics options at all.”
- “There's also no graphical options whatsoever, not even resolution and v-sync.”
- “This absolutely does not feel like a finished game: it's got no proper menus, this level select screen should not exist in current year 2024, the new graphics are not readable and feel like they asset-flipped their own game.”

The gameplay features a familiar mechanic centered around score attacks, with tasks like flipping off spectators and collecting 'hugs' and 'kisses' to unlock levels. While the core gameplay remains enjoyable and more polished than previous entries, some players feel it lacks the depth and polish of earlier titles, resulting in a somewhat dry experience despite the fun mechanics. Overall, it serves as a solid entry point for newcomers to the series.
- “The gameplay loop is simple; each level is a score attack to unlock up to 5 stars, and levels have a star requirement to be unlocked.”
- “The core gameplay is still loads of fun, while feeling more polished than the original, which makes it the better starting point if you're new to the series.”
- “But overall, the gameplay is still great.”
- “The game mechanic is basically the same, with the usual tasks such as flipping off spectators, kissing buildings, crashing through score plates, and landing on a pad using the parachute to break your fall.”
- “This doesn't seem to cause much penalty - quite the opposite, it allows you to go for missing scoring plates instead - so I am not sure what the intention of this mechanic is.”
- “So between them and the new score pick-ups, the traditional gameplay of kisses and hugs is irreverent.”

The story is criticized for being a minimal two-line plot that merely summarizes previous games and lacks depth beyond the introduction. Players find that the new game controls discourage exploration, leading to a focus on visuals rather than narrative engagement, although there are some interesting genetic backgrounds to discover if players do look around.
- “The two-line plot is a summation of the earlier games that makes no appearance after the intro.”
- “The change in game controls has disincentivized looking around, so while things are prettier, you won't really be paying much attention to what's going by. If you do focus out, you'll find more generic backgrounds than the former multi-story in-universe adverts.”

While the overall experience is enjoyable, there are critiques regarding the clarity of the user interface and the impact of certain sound effects, which detract from the comedic punch of the original.
- “A damn fun experience with cheeky humor that never quite loses its charm.”
