The gameplay has been praised for its significant improvements over the previous installment, offering a smoother and more enjoyable experience, particularly on newer consoles like the PS5. However, some players have encountered frustrating bugs and issues with game mechanics that hinder character recruitment and overall gameplay flow. Despite these drawbacks, many reviewers consider it one of the best entries in the 3D beat-em-up genre, highlighting its innovative features and engaging combat.
- “I nominated it for the most innovative gameplay award because of how much it innovated on the series, and how I believe this is one of the best 3D beat-em-ups. New games in the genre can learn from this entry.”
- “Overall, the gameplay experience is much better than the first one.”
- “This game is light years better than the first one - probably a bit expensive but it’s worth it in my opinion, and it has plenty of gameplay.”
- “Majority of gameplay will be exactly the same.”
- “I couldn't recruit some of the characters because the game mechanics wouldn't allow me to complete the task.”
- “The bugs went from annoying and pesky (even funny) at the beginning of the game to actually interfering with gameplay.”

The story in the game offers a unique, unofficial narrative that diverges from the original series, allowing players to engage in a "what if" scenario with familiar characters. While it incorporates elements from the All Valley tournament and features enjoyable missions, the overall depth and quality may not fully capture the essence of the Cobra Kai franchise. Players can expect a relatively short experience, averaging around 6.5 hours, with some amusing moments despite occasional gameplay issues.
- “The story somewhat follows Season 4 in that it's all about the All Valley tournament and trying to get Cobra Kai shut down. It has some cool ideas for a game about karate.”
- “Story mode is great; you run around, do missions, fight, and recruit members to your dojo (characters you know from the show). You can mix things up and have Tory in Miyagi-Do or Eagle Fang instead of Cobra Kai. It could be a lot of fun for fans who want to create a 'what if' scenario with the characters from the show.”
- “The overall quality of the story isn't exactly Cobra Kai level in terms of depth, but it's enjoyable.”
- “Weird, thanks to how it didn't follow the official story, but made up its own, street fighter-like one.”
- “When I won the All Valley tournament with Robby, it kept telling me that I was fighting for Cobra Kai when I was playing with the Miyagi-Do storyline first.”
- “The overall quality of the story isn't exactly Cobra Kai level in terms of depth but it's enjoyable.”

While some fans remain hopeful for future patches and improvements, the current state of stability is a major concern.
- “A lot of this game is very buggy and lagged my computer, frequently crashed and stopped working altogether.”
- “While I do recommend this game for any die-hard Cobra Kai fan, it has a lot of improvements that need to be worked on. It's very buggy, crashes, and to be fair, the price isn't exactly what I would call worth it.”
- “When accessing the menu to upgrade or level up your characters, the menu freezes and does not allow you to scroll through it.”

- “The graphics of this game are reminiscent of PS2 or PS3 at best!”
- “The lack of graphics options is just ridiculous.”
- “I think the thing that makes it look disgusting though is the heavy (and when I say heavy I mean heavy) motion blur which ruins the complete aesthetic of the game.”
- “Awful performance, non-existent PC options (must live with that horrible motion blur, no thanks) and crappy graphics that for some reason can hog up to 6 to 8 GB of your RAM with ease.”

The humor in the game is generally well-received, with players enjoying the funny moves and interactions made possible by the new 3D engine. While some bugs add a humorous touch, they can also become disruptive to gameplay. Overall, the game offers a fun experience, though some feel the original had a stronger comedic impact.
- “The game runs in 3rd person 3D now, so you can move around and do all kinds of fun and sometimes funny moves. I like this engine better than the first game's engine; the first game was 2D side-scrolling and it felt cramped. Cobra Kai 2: Dojos Rising is like you're fighting in an arena with lots of space to move around and attack.”
- “The jank is pretty funny at points.”
- “The bugs went from annoying and pesky (even funny) at the beginning of the game to actually interfering with gameplay.”
