The gameplay is characterized by a mix of engaging mechanics, humor, and surreal elements, offering a fun experience that rewards creativity. However, many players note a lack of content and linearity, with gameplay time averaging around 3-6 hours, leading some to suggest waiting for sales or seeking more substantial games. Overall, while the controls are simple and enjoyable, the game may not sustain long-term interest due to its limited options and repetitive nature.

“The surreal sandbox-style gameplay allows anyone to have fun regardless of how skilled they might be, although there is still ample action to keep the elite gamers entertained.”
“Great gameplay, and flat out fun!”
“The gameplay is much more linear and objective-focused than you would expect from something with 'simulator' in the title.”
“Overall, just wait for it to be on sale if you are that desperate to play this, or just save your money and buy a game with over an hour of gameplay total.”
“I bought this game thinking that it would be a lot of silly, humorous fun and it was... for the first 10 minutes of gameplay.”

“Very short for the price, but it made me laugh a lot, and the story was surprisingly very engaging and meaningful (at least by my standards).”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players noting that they are basic and reminiscent of vintage N64 titles, while others appreciate the realistic and beautiful visuals that enhance gameplay. Despite the optimization issues reported by some users, many find the graphics satisfactory for an indie game, complementing the overall fun and comedic experience. Overall, the aesthetic appeal varies, but it generally contributes positively to the game's charm.
“Highly accurate simulator, graphics are realistic and the deer gameplay is so surreal.”
“Beautiful graphics, perfect gameplay, sound is amazing. I really need to watch more documentaries about deer.”
“This game is very good, the gameplay is fun, the graphics are nice, the price is good, the DLC isn't like in AAA games where it locks huge content clusters behind massive paywalls, the soundtrack has no right to be this good, and it's a great concept. What more could you want out of an indie game?”
“I can't in good faith justify buying this. This is my second time buying this game after assuming my PC was not powerful enough. I now own a graphics card and CPU capable of running Red Dead Redemption 2 over 60 FPS; however, this game's optimization is a joke, except not the good kind of joke.”
“Graphics -5/10”
“Overall, the graphics are like vintage N64, but the game runs crisp because of it - you can tell what you're looking at.”

“I would love to experience this game, but for now, I must refund it as its performance is not very good right now.”
“Terrible performance; crashed after first play. Reading community boards, this seems to be a common problem, but there is no support at all.”
“I have looked online for fixes for these stuttering issues, and there seems to be no fix whatsoever. While looking, I heard from others that the game only has roughly 2 hours of content. For the asking price and seemingly no updates from the developers about new content, it seems to be abandoned. So for now, I'll just be requesting another refund and removing it from my wishlist.”
