  • music
    320 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is predominantly phonk, described as energetic and immersive, perfectly complementing the chaotic gameplay and enhancing the overall experience. Players appreciate the soundtrack's ability to sync with in-game actions, creating a unique rhythm-based element that elevates the intensity of combat. While the music is widely praised, some users note that the looping can become repetitive over extended play sessions, but overall, it remains a standout feature that significantly contributes to the game's appeal.

    • “The music consists of phonk tracks that perfectly fit the game’s tone and elevate the overall vibe.”
    • “The soundtrack features 24 phonk tracks from various artists, perfectly complementing the game’s mood.”
    • “The music enhances immersion and keeps adrenaline high, making extended sessions enjoyable.”
    • “Honestly, I expected something more; apart from the music, the game doesn't have much to offer. Every room is the same, and everything is terribly unclear.”
    • “The music is composed of 24 phonk songs from various artists, which can become irritating if you play for more than a few hours as the looping isn't well executed, and you will often hear the same song twice in a row (and sometimes thrice in a row).”
    • “The game itself is just kind of sensory overload; I can barely see anything while copyrighted songs play at max volume. It's only worth it for the Steam point stuff you can buy if you get 2 hours on this; other than that, it's kind of an excuse to create the meme Steam point emojis, avatars, and all of that.”
  • gameplay
    140 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by its chaotic, fast-paced action and simple mechanics, primarily involving shooting and dodging, which can lead to a repetitive experience over time. While many players appreciate the engaging visuals and energetic soundtrack that enhance the gameplay, others criticize its lack of depth and variety, making it feel shallow and monotonous. Overall, the game offers a mix of enjoyable moments and frustrating mechanics, appealing to those who embrace its meme-inspired chaos but potentially disappointing for players seeking more intricate gameplay systems.

    • “Overall, I highly recommend it because the game’s quality is impressively high, the gameplay has a strong and satisfying core that remains engaging over long sessions, and the experience is consistently enjoyable rather than exhausting.”
    • “The gameplay is engaging, dynamic, and remains fun even after long play sessions, thanks to its smooth controls and addictive loop.”
    • “The gameplay is refreshingly straightforward yet highly effective.”
    • “The gameplay is just too simplistic and the variety of enemies and levels too low to keep pace with the frantic energy the visuals and sound try to bring across.”
    • “This lack of variety can make the gameplay feel repetitive once the initial novelty wears off.”
    • “Overall, I don't recommend it because the quality of the game is extremely low, the gameplay is bereft of any real substance and leaves you with a deplorable and mind-numbing experience.”
  • graphics
    104 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are a polarizing aspect, with many praising its unique blend of retro, Soviet-era cartoon aesthetics and vibrant, chaotic visuals that create an intense atmosphere. However, some users criticize the low-quality, cluttered design that can hinder gameplay clarity, leading to a sensory overload that detracts from the overall experience. Overall, the visuals are described as both charming and overwhelming, appealing to those who appreciate a distinct artistic direction while leaving others frustrated by their execution.

    • “The graphics are stylistic, readable, and atmospheric, making it easy to navigate levels and identify threats.”
    • “The graphics, soundtrack, and overall presentation come together to create an atmosphere that’s both nostalgic and fresh, with a little bit of grit and chaos thrown in.”
    • “The art style is super distinct; personally, I think it's pretty cool, although cluttered looking at times.”
    • “Overall, I don't recommend it because the quality of the game is extremely low, the gameplay is bereft of any real substance and leaves you with a deplorable and mind-numbing experience. There is no replay value whatsoever despite being a never-ending game, the cluttered and unclear nature of the graphics interferes with the gameplay in a negative way, and the developer has almost no interest in improving the game because the only noteworthy update thus far merely added trading cards and points shop items.”
    • “The graphics are very low-quality because each object is a flat, 2D image which turns to face you as you move around; although this looks good from a distance, it looks shoddy as you get closer.”
    • “The visuals and audio are absolute sensory overload (and not the fun kind either). I can barely make out what's happening on screen and my eyes hurt within minutes.”
  • humor
    54 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in "Dr. Livesey Rom and Death Edition" is widely praised for its chaotic, absurd, and meme-inspired style, creating a unique experience that embraces sensory overload and nonsensical fun. Players appreciate the game's over-the-top characters and fast-paced action, often describing it as a hilarious distraction that captures the essence of internet humor, despite its shallow storyline and mixed gameplay quality. Overall, the humor is a significant draw, making it a memorable, albeit chaotic, gaming experience.

    • “Rather than attempting to deliver a traditional narrative or structured campaign, it embraces the aesthetics of overstimulation—bombarding the player with loud beats, explosive visuals, and nonsensical humor that dares you not to take it seriously.”
    • “Thousands of user reviews praise it for its humor, energy, and sheer absurdity, describing it as both a masterpiece of meme culture and a surprisingly fun distraction.”
    • “It’s a hilarious, thrilling ride that's just pure chaos and fun.”
  • story
    37 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is characterized as minimalist and abstract, often leaving players to interpret its meaning, which some find shallow and repetitive. While the humor and character design are praised, many reviewers note the lack of a coherent narrative, with some describing it as a fun distraction rather than a deep storytelling experience. Overall, the game offers a mix of compelling themes and entertaining elements, but those seeking a structured plot may be disappointed.

    • “The game's immersive storyline and captivating characters had me on the edge of my virtual seat.”
    • “It's a game that will keep you entertained for hours on end, and its thought-provoking story will stay with you long after you've put down the controller.”
    • “This game is a cinematic masterpiece; it made me cry at how the story came together. The music really adds to the emotion, and everything about it is so perfect.”
    • “Those who seek intricate gameplay systems, coherent storytelling, or structured progression will likely find it shallow and repetitive.”
    • “If you’re looking for deep plot development, you might be disappointed.”
    • “The story is only explained on the store page, but even the listed premise is false advertising since the game is never-ending anyways.”
  • grinding
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being tedious and repetitive, with players often feeling that achievement hunting becomes a chore rather than an enjoyable challenge. Many reviews highlight the excessive reliance on RNG for rare item drops and the need for prolonged grinding sessions, which can lead to frustration, especially when players are forced to restart after dying. Overall, while some find the achievement system meaningful, the grinding experience is generally viewed as a significant drawback.

    • “It's a simple meme game; not difficult, but very RNG for achievements if you don't engage in grinding.”
    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “It is basically a high effort crap post which gets tedious very quickly.”
    • “The gameplay is vapid, tedious, and becomes extremely repetitious very quickly as all you do is hold down the mouse button and run in circles.”
    • “The game has 81 achievements and the majority of them are vacuous milestones that will be acquired after 12-14 hours; however, the rest are extremely tedious to get because they require bosses to drop the rarest items which have exceedingly low drop rates.”
  • replayability
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews on replayability are mixed, with some players noting a lack of incentive to replay after completing the game due to limited depth and progression. However, others highlight the game's ongoing updates, new challenges, and competitive elements that enhance replay value, particularly for leaderboard enthusiasts. Overall, while some find it enjoyable for repeated play, many agree that the game lacks substantial replayability.

    • “Despite being a never-ending game, it offers remarkable replay value. The clear and stylish visuals enhance gameplay instead of hindering it, and the developer has shown meaningful commitment to the game through thoughtful updates and community features like trading cards and points shop items.”
    • “The replay value is excellent, as the game continues to introduce new combinations, challenges, and scenarios well beyond the first few minutes.”
    • “It's fun with a fair amount of replayability; definitely a great game to further rot my brain into mush.”
    • “Zero replayability, but who cares when it offers some of the most creative Steam avatars and profile decorations?”
    • “Once you’ve completed the game, there’s not a lot of incentive to play through it again.”
    • “The lack of depth and progression limits its replayability.”
  • atmosphere
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is characterized by its stylistic graphics, engaging soundtrack, and a blend of nostalgia and freshness, creating a memorable experience. The developer's playful community engagement enhances this atmosphere, making it both fun and immersive, despite some limitations in mechanical depth. Overall, players find the atmosphere to be a significant highlight, contributing to the game's addictive design.

    • “The graphics are stylistic, readable, and atmospheric, making it easy to navigate levels and identify threats.”
    • “The graphics, soundtrack, and overall presentation come together to create an atmosphere that’s both nostalgic and fresh, with a little bit of grit and chaos thrown in.”
    • “The developer’s creativity, the game’s addictive design, and its unique atmosphere make it well worth both your time and money.”
  • optimization
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is notably inconsistent; while it runs smoothly on older hardware with low system requirements, some players report severe performance issues, including high CPU usage and potential crypto mining concerns. Overall, the experience can vary significantly, with some praising its performance as exemplary, while others find it frustratingly poor.

    • “It runs smoothly even on older hardware, with extremely modest system requirements.”
    • “This ensures that almost anyone can jump into its madness without performance issues.”
    • “You may not recognize it, but this is peak gaming performance.”
    • “Godawful performance.”
    • “And performance, my CPU is burning, why?”
    • “The music is fun, but the humor value expires pretty fast and you're left with a baffling mess of a game with bizarrely poor performance (some have blamed this on the game being a cover for crypto mining, as a heads up).”
  • monetization
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has been heavily criticized, with many users labeling it as a blatant cash grab that exploits popular memes for profit. Reviews highlight issues such as excessive pricing, locked content behind DLC and microtransactions, and a lack of value for the money spent, leading to a general consensus that the game is not worth its cost. While some users acknowledge it as a better option among cash grabs, the overall sentiment remains negative regarding its monetization practices.

    • “The game costs $70 and lasts for 80 hours, but is only fun for 1 hour, with the majority of content locked behind DLC and microtransactions.”
    • “Some quality of life fixes would be very appreciated, but I don't expect them to come because, come on, who would update a 50-cent single-player game with no microtransactions?”
    • “Refunded, as this blatant cash grab is not worth even a dollar.”
    • “It's a cash grab meme game with repetitive gameplay.”
    • “The developer is dubious, their catalog of Steam games is just as questionable, and the game is simply a cheap cash grab that was intended to take advantage of the sudden popularity of the 'dr livesey walk' meme.”
  • emotional
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players describe the game as an emotionally impactful experience, with many expressing deep investment in the characters and their stories. The seamless blend of gameplay and narrative, along with a powerful soundtrack, evokes strong feelings, leading some to tears and labeling it a cinematic masterpiece. Overall, it is highly recommended for its emotional depth and storytelling.

    • “From the way the characters are introduced to the way the gameplay seamlessly blends with the story makes me wanna shed a tear, and man the ending.”
    • “Their stories and dialogues were engaging, making me emotionally invested in their fates.”
    • “This game is a cinematic masterpiece; it made me cry at how the story came together. The music really adds to the emotion, and everything about it is so perfect.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is marred by occasional bugs and glitches, including crashes and characters getting stuck, leading to a perception of unpolished design. Overall, players report a mixed experience with technical issues that detract from gameplay.

    • “The game isn’t immune to bugs and glitches, with some players reporting crashes or characters getting stuck.”
    • “I constantly ran into poorly polished game design glitches.”
    • “If Picasso made a fever dream out of tech glitches and post-Soviet cartoon logic, this would be it.”
  • character development
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is criticized for its poor design, with indistinguishable and unappealing character visuals that detract from the experience. While it draws inspiration from the iconic 1988 Soviet cartoon, the remixed animations may not resonate well with players, leading to a lack of depth in character portrayal.

    • “And that's honestly for the better because if you were able to view the screen, you'd be attacked by some of the most indistinguishable and terrible map and character designs.”
    • “It borrows heavily from the iconic 1988 Soviet cartoon, using familiar character designs and animations that have been remixed into a manic, gameified format.”
