The gameplay of the prologue is a mixed bag, featuring a blend of stealth, combat, and parkour mechanics that some players find enjoyable, while others criticize the clunky melee combat and basic AI. Although it offers a non-linear experience with multiple routes, many reviewers note that the gameplay feels linear and lacks depth, particularly in stealth mechanics. Overall, it serves as a teaser for the full game, showcasing its potential but also highlighting areas for improvement, such as crafting and more complex gameplay elements.
- “It's clearly a bit of a sandbox of toys and mechanics from the base game.”
- “The gameplay is nice; it has a crafting component and nice climbing and jumping mechanics, reminiscent of Dying Light due to the mobility factor. The crafting is alright, not really complex, but it doesn’t need to be.”
- “Good level design, good atmosphere, good gameplay.”
- “Mechanics - melee combat mechanics feel a bit clunky.”
- “Gameplay - the gameplay itself is quite linear.”
- “The game promotes stealthy gameplay but the stealth gameplay is pretty low standard and at least in the prologue there is no takedown ability (maybe because it would be too easy with such a stupid AI?).”

The story in "Die Young: Prologue" serves as a prequel, providing context to the main game's events, particularly surrounding Daphne's kidnapping. While some players appreciate the backstory and connections to the main narrative, others criticize the prologue for its vague plot and lack of depth, suggesting that it primarily functions as a brief, action-oriented experience rather than a fully fleshed-out story. Overall, it offers intriguing elements for those familiar with the main game, but may leave newcomers wanting more clarity and substance.
- “Additionally, it serves as the actual story prequel, detailing events occurring just before Daphne's kidnapping.”
- “Die Young: Prologue narrates the events that occurred a few hours before the main story of Die Young.”
- “I recommend you the game if you like action-adventures with a compelling story.”
- “Although playing the main game first is advisable, since the plot was vague as hell.”
- “The story isn’t really there; it’s more a run-for-your-life type of scenario, but it's a 1-hour experience so the story isn’t the main focus.”
- “Everything about this prologue feels clumsy: story, writing, graphics, animation, movement, and especially the combat.”

The monetization aspect of the game is criticized for being misleading, as it primarily serves as an advertisement for another product rather than a full game. Reviewers express frustration over the practice of publishing demos and ads as standalone titles, arguing that it detracts from genuine games and misleads consumers. Overall, the monetization strategy is seen as exploitative and detrimental to the gaming community.
- “If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on YouTube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising.”
- “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
- “It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers; you deserve better than adverts.”

The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players experiencing significant performance issues, including frequent crashes, fluctuating frame rates, and high RAM consumption, making it unplayable on lower-end systems.

Overall, the consensus leans towards poor optimization, particularly for those without high-end PCs.

- “Performance was also quite solid (when it did not crash).”

- “Bad performance; at some points, my FPS suddenly dropped to 40 or lower, and lowering the graphics settings from high to low does nothing at all.”
- “The game is really poorly optimized. It's not as smooth as I thought. I don't recommend downloading it unless you have a really powerful PC. This game consumes more RAM than a drunken Santa on Christmas Day. I have 32 GB of RAM, and still, the more I advance in the game, the slower it gets.”
