The story of "Cannibals" revolves around an older detective, Rick, recounting his harrowing past with cannibals to his daughter, which is presented in a bedtime story format. However, the narrative is criticized for being poorly executed, nonsensical, and lacking immersion, with awkward dialogue and untranslated segments in Russian. While the storytelling concept has potential, it ultimately fails to engage players, leaving them frustrated with its execution.
“It has been years since the incident in Blackberry where Detective Rick had just escaped from two cannibals. Now, as an older man and father, his daughter wants to hear the rest of the story, the story about how he stopped the cannibal psychos.”
“You tell your story from the first game to your half-naked daughter on a couch in an apartment with a pet pig on the couch as well.”
“I did like the story aspect, but when we keep cutting to the girl and her father, it really wears itself out.”
“The story is bad; I'll get to the reason why it's bad in the dislikes, but there's one part I did kind of like for a little bit, and that is the fact that the dad is telling his daughter like it’s a bedtime story. I don't know, I thought that was an interesting idea.”
“There is absolutely no immersion in this game... and there's really no sense of a decent story either.”
“I would steer clear of this game if I were you (even if you can get it on a discount, it's not worth the price)... and I'm still trying to figure out... why the hell does the family telling the story have a pig on their couch that keeps passing out and falling off the couch??”

The gameplay has been described as mediocre, with persistent issues from previous installments, including frustrating puzzles and challenging mechanics, such as knocking a corpse off a power line while avoiding enemies. Additionally, the presence of non-English dialogue detracts from the overall experience, leaving players feeling that the gameplay lacks polish and coherence.
“The gameplay has some challenging puzzles, including one where you have to knock a corpse off a power line while avoiding wandering cannibals. It can be quite tricky to line up the shot with a rock while they are around.”
“The gameplay was okay, but still had some issues like in the previous game.”
“The gameplay has the same problems; there are some annoying puzzles, and one puzzle requires knocking a corpse off a power line while cannibals are wandering around. Trying to line up the shot with a rock is a pain with the cannibals running around.”
“Graphics are okay but not great; the gameplay is lacking, with a lot of non-English dialogue. It reminds me a bit of Opus Castle.”

The humor in the game is highlighted by the amusing notes left by the male cannibal after each death, which many players found to be the standout feature, despite some reservations about the voice acting and dialogue due to language barriers.
“The voice acting and dialogue might not be perfect, but the notes left by the male cannibal after each death were hilarious and actually the best part of the game.”
“The humor in this game is top-notch, with clever writing that keeps you laughing throughout.”
“I found myself chuckling at the witty one-liners and absurd situations that made the gameplay even more enjoyable.”
