The graphics are generally considered good, featuring colorful and interesting animations that align well with a Halloween theme. While some users find them decent and aesthetically pleasing, others feel they lack depth and can become repetitive. Overall, the visuals contribute positively to the game's fun factor, despite some mixed opinions.
“It's matching well the currently approaching Halloween, quite colorful, interesting animations, graphics are good enough, music similar to classics like The Munsters, Adams Family or newer Hotel Transylvania, though unfortunately repetitive.”
“As these developers have not only put in achievements but bothered to put in level objectives along with some nice options of useful store/decorating area as well as nice graphics and it’s a fun game, I’m doing a full review.”
“But that's really trivial and not a gameplay factor, just aesthetic.”
“Decent graphics, but boring to me.”

Players appreciate the unique level objectives that differentiate this game from others, moving away from the repetitive "clear all cards" mechanic. The gameplay is described as engaging and refreshing, though some suggest that deck adjustments could enhance the experience by introducing more variability. Overall, the game is favored for its innovative approach to gameplay rather than traditional repetitive mechanics.
“What I love about this and their last game is the very rare gameplay of level objectives.”
“As this is a simple up/down gameplay, it needs something different in each level other than the usual boring 'clear all cards' that every other developer does.”
“As this is a simple one up/down gameplay, it needs something different in each level other than the usual boring 'clear all cards' that every other developer does.”
“The deck could be tweaked a bit to make it less likely you'll get a card you can use, but I much prefer this type of gameplay than the usual boring gameplay of redoing a level multiple times to perfect a hand with nothing else of interest to keep you engaged.”
“But that's really trivial and not a gameplay factor, just aesthetic.”

The story in this game is notably lacking compared to its predecessor, with players expressing disappointment over the absence of a narrative, as the focus shifts to decorating the cemetery area instead.
“There isn’t a story with this one like there was with the first game; here it’s more of an odd comment in your 'decorate your cemetery area.'”
“I miss the story.”
