“With its offbeat humor, imaginative gameplay, and the sheer joy of discovering the unexpected, Amazing Frog stands out as a genuinely delightful and engaging gaming experience.”
“From performing absurd stunts and driving vehicles to engaging in comical battles with fellow frogs, the possibilities for outrageous and unpredictable gameplay moments are endless.”
“This game is a lot of fun, and you will get a ton of time out of it just messing with the mechanics of the game, and there is always more to discover.”
“The gameplay is clumsy.”
“First off, the mechanics are for 5-year-old children. I mean, you defecate every 3 or so seconds, so walking is a pain. Next, the point of the game is 'you paid 20 bucks to walk around in a shitty town that can't even be explored because of the amazing landscape devs making a random hill.'”
“Even without this horrible farting 'mechanic,' this game still wouldn't be that much fun at all.”

“There is no storyline to this game.”

“The game is coming along now and the developers seem to be getting to know the new upgraded engine well, which has seen better driving physics come back along with improved performance and graphics.”
“It's optimized very well for 2 people, and it feels like people made it, not a company.”

Reviews indicate that grinding in the game can be excessively time-consuming, with some players feeling it requires a "second life" to fully engage. While some appreciate the fun aspects and the ability to explore, others find the vast map and repetitive tasks tedious, suggesting that playing with friends may alleviate some of the monotony. However, improvements like mission checkpointing have been noted as a positive change that reduces the frustration of repeated failures.
“So fun and no grinding; I totally recommend it.”
“This is a really fun way to waste some time; I'd recommend you play this game with friends because it can get tedious playing alone.”
“Everything outside of Swindon might as well be in an entirely different country; it makes exploration and completion so tedious.”
“It can be a little tedious trying to get around the huge map, but there are a lot of secrets in the game, and I think that Fayju has a few more tricks up their sleeves.”

While some appreciate the existing music and sound effects, the consensus is that the game would benefit significantly from additional ambient music to enhance the experience.

“No background music for ambiance either, and no objects to interact with.”
“But one thing it needs is background music because it's way too annoyingly silent to where I just leave.”
“Also, the game needs some background music; all you hear outside of radios in the area is the frogs' feet slapping against the ground as you walk.”
