The graphics of the game are widely praised for their high quality and stunning visuals, contributing significantly to its appeal. However, some users noted issues with animations that can disrupt gameplay, particularly in platforming mechanics. Overall, while the visuals are a highlight, the game's controls and animation synchronization could use improvement.
- “Another Sight is a beautiful game, with a rich story, stunning visuals, and intriguing puzzle gameplay.”
- “The graphics looked amazing as well, which was why I was drawn to the game itself.”
- “Graphics were excellent and surreal.”
- “Seems like all the substance was poured into the high-quality graphics.”
- “V-sync on or off did nothing; changing graphics from ultra to low made no difference, so that's a bit odd.”
- “The game felt heavily inspired by Trine, not only because they are both puzzle platformers, but also because of the graphics and game style in general.”

The reviews indicate a mixed reception regarding the story aspect of the game. While some players appreciate the visuals and potential of the prologue, many criticize the lack of a substantial narrative, with some stating it fails to deliver on promised backstory and feels more like a collection of puzzles than a cohesive story. Overall, the game appears to be more focused on gameplay mechanics than on developing a compelling narrative.
- “Another Sight is a beautiful game, with a rich story, stunning visuals, and intriguing puzzle gameplay.”
- “This short prologue story was enough for me to wishlist the full game.”
- “Although I have not played the main story for Another Sight, this prologue story of Hodge the Cat features stunning visuals and is a simple to understand platformer.”
- “Hodge's journey promises the backstory of the most enigmatic figure in the main story...and immediately breaks that promise.”
- “This game doesn't have a story.”
- “It's a compilation of rushed puzzles that reference much better ones from the main game, and you learn absolutely nothing about Hodge's backstory.”

The monetization aspect of "Another Sight" is criticized for being misleading, as it is essentially an advertisement masquerading as a full game, which detracts from genuine titles seeking visibility. While it is free, the presentation of a demo as a complete game raises concerns about developer practices and the integrity of the platform.
- “But there's little to discuss in terms of gameplay here, because this is not a game, it's an advertisement.”
- “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
- “If this weren't a free game, the phrase 'shameless cash grab' would apply.”

The gameplay aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some users noting that it feels more like an advertisement than a full game, lacking in showcasing the main mechanics. While the visuals and story are praised, the control mechanics, particularly jumping and turning, are criticized for being delayed, which some feel adds to the game's difficulty but may detract from overall enjoyment. Additionally, concerns about level design and platforming mechanics have been raised, indicating a need for improvement in these areas.
- “Another sight is a beautiful game, with a rich story, stunning visuals, and intriguing puzzle gameplay.”
- “The only complaint I could make is that the control mechanics such as jumping and turning back and forth are a little delayed, but it also adds to the difficulty and playability of the game, so you have to try to enjoy those rigid mechanics for what they are and understand that it's a truly unique game.”
- “But there's little to discuss in terms of gameplay here, because this is not a game, it's an advertisement.”
- “I've played this one to get a feel for the full game and decide whether I'd like to get it or not, but I'm still unconvinced, because I don't think this one shows the main mechanics the full game will have (since that one involves using two characters, and I assume it has more puzzles and not just platforming, like this one; a story, too).”
- “Another sight - Hodge’s Journey drops the ball when it comes to both its level design and its platforming mechanics.”

The music in the game is praised for its beautiful soundtracks, enhancing the overall experience, but some players have noted issues with sound effects, particularly the absence of cat meows, which are essential for gameplay. While the visuals and soundtrack are well-received, the lack of a cohesive story and occasional control difficulties detract from the overall enjoyment.
- “It has very nice visuals and a beautiful soundtrack.”
- “Beautiful soundtracks.”
- “No more music, no more cat meows. I know I need them for the puzzle, but I'll have to assume that the Y button works better than the jump. There's no sound left whatsoever.”
