  • replayability
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is mixed; while some players appreciate the multiple endings and achievements that encourage revisiting, others feel it lacks the unique replay value found in previous installments, particularly noting a significant decline compared to earlier titles. Overall, the experience may vary greatly depending on individual expectations and comparisons to past games.

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The ambience and music are really good, and they nailed the atmosphere of the abandoned Hameln facility.”

  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Great game, but there are some weird chugging issues in the performance; otherwise, it's fun and engaging.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is perceived as a decline from its predecessor, with many finding the interactions between characters less entertaining and more frustrating. While the creepy and funny elements of the tapes are still present, the overall comedic tone has shifted, leading to a less enjoyable experience for players who appreciated the previous "kid's show feel." The limited endings and repetitive dialogue further detract from the humor, making it feel insufferable at times.

    • “I still think the first game nailed the atmosphere and puzzles; I felt like a genius figuring them out, and the tapes were the right levels of creepy and funny.”
    • “The game is incredibly short with only 2 endings, which is funny considering the amount of endings the first game had, and how many times this game gives dialogue that implies another route that simply doesn't exist.”
    • “The voice actors still do the best job they possibly can, but I feel like the 'kid's show feel' from the first two games is mostly gone here, since most of the tapes just consist of Amanda and Wooly getting into arguments, and not even funny arguments like the second game, and it just gets insufferable after a while.”
  • character development
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is a mixed bag; while the growth of Amanda and Wooly is praised for being well-paced and impactful, some reviewers feel that the focus on Wooly detracts from the overall plot and the development of other characters. Additionally, there are concerns that certain character arcs are overshadowed or resolved in a mediocre manner, affecting the story's overall coherence.

    • “The ambience, rooms, and puzzles all felt so well done; Amanda's and Wooly's character development was also amazingly well done and didn't feel rushed. You can really see how far both of them have come since the first game.”
    • “Not only did it recon certain character developments, but it gave away the point of the story in a mediocre way.”
    • “I also found it a shame that the main focus was much more on [spoiler]wooly[/spoiler], which completely distracted from and neglected the exciting plot and character development of Amanda and Hameln.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, users report a mixed experience regarding stability; while some praise the game for being bug-free and glitch-free, others experience lag and bugs, particularly when adjusting settings for performance.

    • “Awesome game! The puzzles aren't as hard, which is good, and there are no glitches at all. By the way, I loved the scene where Wooly crashed out.”
    • “Bug free!”
    • “I even had to put it on low resolution and small screen, and it's still laggy and buggy. I decided to record some footage for it.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable.”
    • “I experienced constant frame drops and stuttering, even during simple gameplay.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly when it comes to achieving certain milestones like the 9111 achievement and experiencing the true ending. While the overall gameplay is enjoyable, some feel that the puzzles often resemble monotonous tasks rather than engaging challenges.

    • “It was worth it, but very tedious when I had to start a new game to get the 9111 achievement.”
    • “The 'puzzles' felt more like doing tedious work than doing a puzzle.”
    • “Even not getting the true ending unless the end of an adventure is the true ending, the game was fire. The only bad thing was some of the puzzles were a bit tedious; otherwise, the game was pretty peak 9/10.”
