The gameplay is a mix of chaotic action and strategic elements, focusing primarily on spider elimination with an expanded arsenal and innovative mechanics. While some players find the progression slightly tedious, the overall experience is enjoyable, enhanced by a unique art style and sound design that complements the frantic pace. However, there are critiques regarding a lack of diversity in spider types and the integration of quest elements, which some feel detracts from the core gameplay.

- “The combination of chaotic action, strategic gameplay, and offbeat humor makes it a must-play for fans of action games.”
- “It builds on its predecessor's success, enhancing gameplay while retaining the humor and charm that made the original a hit.”
- “Focused too heavily on a story it doesn't bother to tell you and not at all on gameplay.”
- “This was a problem with the first part, which also lasted 2 hours of pure gameplay, and after 1 it got boring, while the varied arsenal and ways of spreading fire, as well as the spiders that mimicked various objects, made the game stand out. In the sequel, there is no sense of diversity of species, although there are quite a lot of them, but the only gameplay interesting things are jumpers, which can climb onto your camera and crawl over the player until your partner (or you yourself) throws him off. This is also the only arachnophobic moment in a game about spiders, alas.”
- “Also, the gameplay of the game had to shift a little more into the quest elements. In addition to burning out spiders and collecting equipment, you can also perform additional tasks of which there are 10-20 on each map, more often it’s also to find something, but it happens that you should turn into a spider and practice platforming, or brew a potion, or run away from the SCP statue during challenges.”

- “The rest of it is fine, but the game mode that makes up the bulk of this update is boring and tedious, not even in a so bad it's good or even just bad way, it's just there.”
- “I suggest buying it when it leaves early access, as for right now the content in the game is lacking and grindy; the multiplayer is dead and communication from the devs is few and far between.”
