- “Movement mechanics that I take for granted in other games must be semi-relearned in this environment.”
- “The platforming and verticality are back from the first game with even more mechanics.”

The story in "Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus" is described as a continuation of its predecessor, featuring minor improvements and new elements, but ultimately feels similar to the original game. Players appreciate the environmental storytelling and subtle hints found in notes, which add depth to the narrative, though some feel the overall experience does not justify the price given the limited changes.
- “Having just beaten the tutorial section and worked my way into the primary hub, reading the notes left around the hints at the story, much like we got in Haydee 2, is a very fascinating look.”
- “Oddworld Abe's Exoddus was Oddworld Abe's Oddysee with minor improvements, new maps, new story, and a few new items, weapons, and enemies.”
- “I'll not spoil anything because, frankly, the story is never overt in these games; it's all environmental, vibes, and some notes here and there.”
- “I'm not against the game being like this, but it's not worth £24.99 for the exact same game only with a new story and a few changes or re-added existing content.”

The graphics in Haydee 3 have received mixed reviews, with some players noting slight improvements in aesthetics but overall feeling that the game lacks significant graphical enhancements compared to its predecessor. Many users express disappointment over poor optimization, particularly with shadow settings causing severe frame rate drops, leading to a perception that the game feels more like a minimal upgrade rather than a substantial new installment. Overall, the graphics do not meet the expectations set by the game's price point, with several players feeling it resembles a copy-paste of previous titles.
- “I have enjoyed the aesthetics, the gameplay, and the mysterious lore of the first two games.”
- “The graphics have been improved significantly.”
- “I hoped to see some improvements in fidelity and graphics, but it feels exactly the same as Haydee 2.”
- “Paying £22.49, I expect the game to have massive improvements and quite a change from the previous game. I can't tell if it's graphically better since it's poorly optimized when you turn shadows up, and the game runs at like 10fps. It feels like the devs saw they needed money and booted up their Haydee 2 game project, made a new map with assets from Haydee 1 and 2, changed the model ever so slightly, also removing the diagetical HUD so her health doesn't show on the back of her head anymore, then porting stuff from Haydee 1 into it and calling it a job done, naming it Haydee 3. It just seems so minimal for the price. Maybe if it was around £15 or so. From what I can find, Haydee 2 was £19.49 on launch, so why is Haydee 3 more than that for content that feels like a copy and paste game with a few extras added? Haydee 2 did have quite a change up, still reused a lot but had a whole new enemy, new models with better customization features, and the combat was rehauled and made better. In this though, just a female and fat version of the creeper enemy, and that's really it of note.”
- “Hoped to see some improvements in fidelity and graphics, but it feels exactly the same as Haydee 2.”

The humor in Haydee 3 is highlighted by the amusingly static nature of the character's breast animations, which remain consistently unresponsive despite the character's movements. This quirk is noted as funny rather than a flaw, with some players suggesting the addition of a setting to toggle more realistic physics.
- “I still find it funny that even in Haydee 3, she doesn't have jiggle physics, and her breast bouncing is animated. It's amusing how her breasts stay completely still when you spin her around, always moving in the exact same way every time. Not a complaint, just funny and not something you see often. A setting to disable it for a physics version would be nice.”
