The humor in the game is noted to be somewhat lacking, with players finding it amusing that it supports more than four players despite not having enough engaging content to warrant such a large group. Overall, while there are some funny moments, they are not frequent enough to leave a lasting impression.
“It's hilarious that you can have more than 4 people playing this at a time because there isn't really enough to manage to need that.”
“Not enough gas, funny moments were had.”
