Many levels are recycled or only slightly altered from the first game, leading to repetitive and uninspired gameplay.
The game's audio, including music and sound effects, is often criticized for being repetitive or worse than the original game's soundtrack.
The pricing is considered too high for the quality and amount of new content, with some players feeling the sequel did not justify its cost.

The story offers a mix of intriguing plot twists and a strong thematic core centered on revenge, but its pacing is uneven, particularly slowing in later missions which mostly rehash earlier content. Heavy use of cassette tapes tries to fill narrative gaps, reflecting apparent development challenges and leaving the overall story feeling incomplete and disjointed. Despite these issues, the plot manages to connect meaningfully to the series' roots, though it lacks the emotional impact typical of Metal Gear games.
- “On a second playthrough, it's incredible how in-your-face the plot twists are, yet I didn't spot them the first time.”
- “Revenge is the leitmotif of the first chapter, and having played through every game in the series except for Survive multiple times, I'm certain the plot was supposed to center upon some three-stages-of-anger theory Kojima read in a psychology book, ending with a more self-actualized Big Boss.”
- “Great graphics, gripping storyline, unique and varied level design.”
- “The pacing of the story is completely off, with the beginning and end of Chapter 1 being the most substantial portion - by the last few missions, I was thinking, 'boy, they're really speeding up, aren't they?'”
- “In Act 2, you're handed a collection of already-completed missions to repeat under specific conditions, with the odd story bit nestled here and there.”
- “The number of story-heavy cassette tapes also jumps up, which I assume was Kojima trying to finish fleshing out the plot in whatever way he could once development ground to a halt.”

The music in the game receives mixed feedback, with some praising its higher quality, new compositions, and overall improvement over the first game's short loops, while others feel it reuses tracks and lacks the relaxing charm of the original. The soundtrack is considered polished and enjoyable by many, though not universally appealing.
- “With all new music, level themes, and now in a higher quality, expect absolute perfection.”
- “Its OST is another work of art and is up there with the likes of RDR2 and Bloodborne.”
- “Since the game's music hasn't been mentioned yet, I'd like to point out that while the songs aren't exactly something I'd listen to in my spare time (except the menu theme), they're loads better than the first game's 10, maybe 5 second loops.”
- “The music is also on loop.”
- “It even rips off the checkerboard platforms and tries to rip off the music style.”
- “It reuses music, stages, and entire levels from Fishy 1, and removes the pause menu, forcing you to alt+f4 every time you want to get to the main menu.”

The gameplay is highly praised for its creativity and freedom, allowing players to experiment with various strategies and mechanics. It balances accessibility for casual players with advanced movement and skill-based challenges, supported by thoughtful level design and a large number of unique levels. However, some criticisms include repetitive elements and lack of innovation in graphics and level variety.
- “The simplest way to explain MGS V's gameplay is, 'if you can think it, you can do it.' If you've got to take out a tank battalion, you can do it explosively with landmines and rocket launchers.”
- “Fishy is a game that is designed for both casual and skillfully inclined players, with easy-to-learn controls that, with enough practice, offer one of the most advanced movement mechanics in any 3D platformer (next to Super Mario Odyssey, of course).”
- “The level design is a perfect combo with these mechanics, as they assist momentum and general movement.”
- “The graphics have stagnated since the original and many of the levels were plucked straight from the first into the second, leading to very repetitive gameplay.”
- “Strongly builds on the foundation of the original while strongly building on the same mechanics.”
- “No gameplay mechanics the game obsesses over, no unskippable cutscenes, no pesky tutorials.”

The graphics received mixed feedback, with some praising their quality as on par with AAA games and others criticizing them for stagnation and repetitive reuse of assets from the original. While level design was often highlighted as impressive and varied, the overall visuals were sometimes seen as lacking innovation.
- “Its graphics were up to par with other AAA games and its level design was spectacular.”
- “Great graphics, gripping storyline, unique and varied level design.”
- “As with Fishy 1, Fishy 2 does not add much more visuals than checkerboard polygons, which is tiring.”
- “The graphics have stagnated since the original, and many of the levels were reused from the first into the second, leading to very repetitive gameplay.”
