The humor in "Boney's Research on Humans!" is intended to be lighthearted and silly, featuring amusing set pieces and surprise moments. However, players feel that the game's focus on score-based stealth mechanics detracts from its comedic potential, suggesting that it should embrace its humorous elements more fully and reduce penalties for failure to enhance the fun.
- “Boney's research on humans' faces suggests it should be a fun and silly romp, with funny set pieces and big 'gotcha' moments.”
- “If it's supposed to be funny, up the dumb set-pieces (the first time a box enemy appears is great) and don't penalize the player so harshly for failing stealth.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including numerous bugs that affect gameplay mechanics, such as the ineffective bone throw and erratic human responses. Players have reported persistent problems like level transitions not disappearing, simultaneous button presses causing unintended invisibility, and a memory leak that can lead to high CPU usage after a short playtime. Overall, these issues contribute to a frustrating gaming experience.
- “The game is also just buggy: the bone throw seems useless, humans not responding to it unless hit directly, making it nearly identical to the dooter; level transitions never disappear if you hit escape to open the menu; it's possible to push the interact and crawl buttons simultaneously while next to hiding spaces and become invisible; sometimes being killed causes all boney's abilities to stop working; there's a memory leak somewhere that can cause the game to eat up your CPU after a mere forty minutes of playing.”
- “The game suffers from numerous bugs, including issues with the bone throw being ineffective, humans not reacting unless directly hit, and level transitions that persist even after accessing the menu. Additionally, players can become invisible by pressing interact and crawl buttons at the same time, and dying can disable all of boney's abilities. There's also a concerning memory leak that significantly impacts CPU usage after extended play.”
- “There are significant stability issues in the game, such as the bone throw being nearly useless, unresponsive AI, persistent level transitions, and the ability to become invisible through a button glitch. Furthermore, dying can disrupt boney's abilities, and a memory leak can lead to high CPU usage after just forty minutes of gameplay.”
