The game's unique art style is appreciated, though the graphics are considered only average, with some issues in movement and collision detection. While the visuals could be improved, the overall fun factor and affordability make it a recommended experience.
“Fun game with a unique art style.”
“The graphics are okay, but movement and collision detection are quite wonky.”
“The game is super fun; it needs better graphics, but new maps for sure and custom settings for private games. I do recommend this game for how cheap it is.”

The music quality in games is generally expected to be high, but some titles, like "Filthy Hands," lack any music entirely, offering only a toggle option. This absence of a musical score can detract from the overall experience, as players may find the silence unsettling or unengaging.
“Bizarrely, Filthy Hands doesn't even have any music at all.”
“The audio and music must be of high quality.”
“The options are only to toggle music on or off; there is no choice as to whose team you're on.”

Reviewers criticize the game's story for relying too heavily on player-versus-player interactions as a substitute for traditional storytelling and level design. This approach is seen as a significant oversight, as it neglects the depth and richness that well-crafted single-player content, including narrative and NPCs, can provide.
“The developer gambled that other players would be an acceptable substitute for adding storytelling, level design, etc. to the game.”
“The narrative feels disjointed and lacks coherence, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“Character development is shallow, leaving players with little emotional investment in the story.”
