    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the Granny remake has received mixed reviews, with some praising its refined mechanics, atmospheric tension, and modern visuals, while others criticize it for being buggy, less intuitive, and lacking the charm of the original.

Overall, while the graphics and atmosphere are commendable, the gameplay has left some fans disappointed compared to the original.

    • “I mean, it's alright but not really worth the money. Yes, it looks better than the original Granny, but the actual Granny model looks kind of funny, the animations look janky and kind of stupid, the game isn't scary, and gameplay is worse than the original Granny, with your objective being much less clear at all times.”

    • “New year mode – adds festive decorations, winter elements, glowing lights, and holiday music, creating a cozy yet suspenseful granny experience with a winter holiday theme.”

    • “Aside from the graphics, some things I thought were cool about this version of the game were the ability to play any song from your computer on the radio (even if it works as a poor distraction and granny doesn't come to turn it off), and how granny moves you to a new holding cell every time you get caught.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with many users reporting constant crashes and significant lag, rendering it nearly unplayable. While some players note that it performs adequately on higher-end hardware, the overall experience is marred by glitches and poor performance compared to the original version.

    • “Update: My 1050 Ti runs it in 2K resolution (2560x1440) at 30-40 fps, so it has good performance.”

  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find that the game's brevity and focus on mastering mechanics contribute to its replayability, as it encourages perfecting timing and exploring the environment. However, some users note that the original version offers more content and charm, making it a more appealing option for those seeking greater replay value.

    • “The brevity ensures the tension never overstays its welcome, and the replay value stems from mastering the environment and perfecting your timing rather than from scripted narrative developments.”
    • “This would enhance the replayability and allow players to explore the story in different ways.”
    • “The original Granny is also officially available on Steam, for a cheaper asking price than this 'remake', and has considerably more content, replay value, and charm.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is described as hit-or-miss; while some find it amusing and entertaining, others feel it falls flat due to janky animations and a lack of clarity in gameplay. The game's attempt to differentiate itself from the original Granny is seen as both funny and a clever way to avoid copyright issues, though overall, the humor may not justify the price for some players.

    • “Is very funny and scary.”
    • “They brand this as a different game with a different vision which is ultra funny; they just don't want to get hit with a copyright strike.”

  • monetization
