The graphics of Cyber Protocol have received criticism for their lack of clarity, which hampers the fast-paced gameplay by overwhelming players with complex visuals and post-processing effects. While the game effectively embraces a cyberpunk aesthetic, the visual overload detracts from the overall experience, making it difficult for players to process information quickly.
“In fact, forgetting the character art - it really only shows up in the intro - the game deliberately leans hard into the cyberpunk hacking aesthetic, cleverly using it to drive you nuts without feeling like anything is out of place.”
“Another huge complaint is the lack of clarity with the visuals.”
“For a game that's meant to be played at a fast pace, you would expect clear visuals to enable players to process things quicker.”
“Cyber Protocol tries to do too much with its more complex visuals and post-processing, creating an overload of information which counteracts the supposed fast gameplay loop.”

The humor in the game is characterized by a quirky and darkly comedic tone, where players are warned to be wary of visually distinctive elements, such as orange or red objects that exhibit unusual behavior, as they are likely to be hostile. This playful approach to danger adds a layer of absurdity and fun to the gameplay experience.
“If you look at a screenshot and it's orange, red, moves, or looks at you funny, it wants to kill you.”
“The game is filled with clever puns and hilarious dialogue that kept me laughing throughout.”
“I love how the characters have such quirky personalities; their interactions are both funny and memorable.”
