AENTITY offers a unique and intriguing experience that encourages exploration and creativity, allowing players to engage with abstract art in a novel way.
The game can evoke a meditative state, providing a visually stunning journey through surreal environments that some players find rewarding and inspiring.
It serves as a creative outlet for those looking for artistic inspiration, with the potential for beautiful visual outputs and interesting screenshots.

The lack of clear instructions, guidance, or a defined game loop makes it frustrating and confusing for many players, leading to a sense of aimlessness.
The experience can become repetitive and dull after initial exploration, as players struggle to find new scenes or understand the mechanics.
Many players feel that AENTITY is not a game in the traditional sense, but rather an abstract art installation that may not appeal to those seeking interactive gameplay.

The graphics are described as abstract and aesthetically rewarding, resembling a digital art installation that emphasizes the viewer's experience. However, some users find the navigation challenging due to the abstract nature of the visuals, and it is recommended to use normal resolution for optimal viewing.
- “By the way, I've experienced no particular artistic binding or feeling, just a sort of curiosity and the pleasure to see all those abstract forms changing on the screen; it's aesthetically rewarding.”
- “[quote=bennet foddy]It’s a digital art installation that visualizes your acts of watching and trying to understand, letting them become the source of the artwork.”
- “Com shares the same abstract graphics and is difficult to navigate!”
- “For the record: you want the graphics to be on normal; you do not want higher or lower resolutions.”

The gameplay offers a unique and intriguing experience that deviates from traditional mechanics, promoting a shift in perception; however, it can be frustratingly unclear and may appeal primarily to those willing to invest significant time in navigating its ambiguous environment.
- “In theory, this is a very interesting experience devoid of the usual trappings and mechanics of your typical game, focusing more on creating a novel experience with interesting sensations that encourages you to focus your attention and shift into a different mode of perception; in practice, this game is almost infuriatingly opaque and self-selects for players with ample time on their hands to flail about and wander through a nauseatingly blurry fog with no instruction.”
