  • humor265 mentions

    The humor in "Accounting+" is heavily influenced by Justin Roiland's signature style, reminiscent of "Rick and Morty," featuring absurd, crude, and often repetitive jokes that can be polarizing. While some players found the game genuinely hilarious and enjoyed its chaotic dialogue, others criticized it for being juvenile, monotonous, and lacking depth, leading to a mixed reception regarding its comedic value. Overall, the humor appeals primarily to fans of Roiland's work, but may not resonate with everyone, particularly those who prefer more varied or sophisticated comedy.

    • “This game is really fun with crazy elements and humor.”
    • “Accounting+ is hilarious the entire time, and when you think it cannot get any more wild it always manages to.”
    • “The dialogue is hilarious.”
    • “This is the most miserable, unfunny, annoying, juvenile thing I have ever played.”
    • “30 minutes of half-assed, unfunny dialogue and on-the-rails gameplay.”
    • “Painfully unfunny.”
  • story70 mentions

    The game's story is described as humorous and engaging, with a light-hearted tone that offers a series of disjointed mini-stories as players progress through various environments. However, many users report significant technical issues, particularly on Meta Quest 2 and Quest 3, which hinder gameplay and prevent them from fully experiencing the narrative. Overall, while the story has its entertaining moments, the gameplay experience is marred by compatibility problems, making it unplayable for many users on certain headsets.

    • “The story flows nicely, and there is enough to enjoy to keep you entertained for an hour or two, depending on how you play.”
    • “The dialogue and story is very humorous and light-hearted (and offensive).”
    • “I really enjoyed it, only about 40 min long story though.”
    • “As for the actual content in the runtime of the game, I honestly can't say it grabbed me in a meaningful way; what story it has is disjointed and brief and only really progresses by doing a single action and putting on another headset.”
    • “About the storyline... well... yeah... ermm... okay, I really cannot say anything decent about it.”
    • “The humor is dark, but the story is complete stupidity.”
  • gameplay45 mentions

    The gameplay is generally criticized for being minimal and lacking depth, often described as more of an interactive experience than a traditional game, with most sessions lasting only 30 minutes to 2 hours. While some players appreciate the humor and narrative elements, many feel the price does not justify the short gameplay time and simplistic mechanics, suggesting it may be better suited as a short film rather than a full game. Overall, fans of the associated humor may find some enjoyment, but the gameplay itself is seen as lacking substance.

    • “That's not a bad thing - the worlds are very well done and the mechanics of interacting with them are novel and polished.”
    • “The style of the game as well as the story and gameplay make a really great game together.”
    • “All the new levels, the characters, and just the overall gameplay is better than I ever could have expected.”
    • “The game lives and dies on its humor, which is as dated as its mechanics.”
    • “The humor is not bad, but the gameplay is lacking enough to feel like it should just be a short instead of a video game.”
    • “Not much in the way of gameplay, and definitely nothing very interesting.”
  • replayability18 mentions

    Replayability in this game is mixed; while some players appreciate the presence of secrets, alternate endings, and the ability to retry puzzles, others find the overall experience short and lacking in long-term engagement. Many reviews suggest that the game is enjoyable for a single playthrough but may not hold up for repeated sessions, especially for those who are not fans of the humor or writing style. Overall, while there are elements that encourage replay, such as achievements and hidden content, the consensus leans towards limited replay value.

    • “This game has more levels and its replayability is much better because of secrets and more levels.”
    • “Tons of replayability and alternate endings.”
    • “Not the longest game in the world but long enough to be worth the money and definitely replayable to find all the hidden jokes.”
    • “This game is short and does kind of feel like it suddenly ends, and the replay value isn't really all that there for me.”
    • “There's a bit of replay value when it comes to trying to get the achievements, but now that I've 100%ed them, I'd say I will never play this again because I've exhausted what I can get out of it.”
    • “This game is always a hit with first timers, but the game lacks almost any form of replayability.”
  • graphics15 mentions

    The graphics in the game are praised for their unique and vibrant art styles across different levels, creating an engaging visual experience reminiscent of Justin Roiland's worlds. While the visuals are described as clean and appealing, some reviewers note that they are not groundbreaking, yet they effectively complement the game's humorous and campy tone. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the game's entertainment value, despite some criticisms regarding gameplay depth.

    • “Every level has a unique art style from one another, which are fun to explore.”
    • “The graphics are beautiful; you feel as if you are in one of Justin Roiland's worlds.”
    • “It's quite brief, but very entertaining, and I liked the chunky and vibrant graphical style.”
    • “No, the tone, pacing, writing, artwork, and design all point to the designers despising the people who enjoy what they do.”
  • music13 mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some praising its quirky and fun tracks, as well as clear voice acting, while others find it obnoxious and lacking options to adjust volume. Overall, it is noted that while the soundtrack can enhance the experience, it is not the primary reason players engage with the game, and some moments of silence are appreciated. Despite the varied opinions, many agree that the music adds a unique charm to the gameplay.

    • “The music was one of the best parts about this game.”
    • “Voice acting is super clear, and music tracks are fun.”
    • “Silkersoft’s soundtrack is wildly quirky and I'm glad it gets the spotlight at times.”
    • “Music in this game is obnoxious with no ability to turn it off or lower it; not everyone likes music in games. If I wanted the music to be on, I'd select it in an option or go put some Spotify music on.”
    • “I wasted $10.19 on a game with a soundtrack and ten more minutes of gameplay.”
    • “Now I bought the plus going in thinking, 'oh boy here I go be an accountant again oh boy oh my' and I realized it was the same experience but with 10 minutes of extra gameplay, a new soundtrack, a semi-costly price that some would say 'boy that sure seems expensive for like 20-21 minutes of gameplay' and it hit me.”
  • grinding3 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious, particularly when pursuing the final achievements, which can feel frustratingly time-consuming. While the game has its humorous elements, the prolonged grind has led some to lose interest and feel overwhelmed.

    • “Some of the last few achievements want to make you rip your hair out because of how tediously long it takes.”
    • “The game is indeed funny, but I feel like even with the secret levels I have yet to unlock, this is just tedious nonsense that I can't play anymore.”

    • “The environments and character designs are well done, adding depth to the overall experience.”
    • “It immediately sucks you into its world filled with hilarious jokes and funny character designs that will keep you coming back for more.”
  • optimization2 mentions

    While the game offers enjoyable dialogues and comedic performances, it suffers from optimization issues, with players reporting numerous bugs that detract from the overall experience. Despite these flaws, many still find it worth the price, especially when on sale.
