The game's story is praised for its depth and emotional resonance, featuring a charming narrative centered around adventurous rabbits that blends lightheartedness with darker themes. Players appreciate the integration of storytelling through cutscenes and character interactions, although some feel the dialogue could be trimmed for better pacing. Overall, the story is seen as a significant strength, enhancing the gameplay experience and encouraging exploration of its lore.
- “I like the story integration, the bits and pieces of stories and cutscenes here and there.”
- “The story is surprisingly deep and made me want to know more about the world and the characters; I would love DLC about the cage or Jorge's expedition, for example.”
- “The gameplay is really fun (and gets surprisingly challenging, especially in optional areas and in chapter 3), the atmosphere and presentation are superb, and the story and characters are incredibly charming.”
- “A good script editor could cut like 30-40% of the dialogue and deliver a story with much better pacing and more emotional impact.”
- “The more difficult levels are also technically optional, but if you skip them all then parts of the story probably won't hit as hard.”
- “In chapter 2, there are some points where it's not obvious which path is optional, and which will progress the story.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their unique and charming art style, featuring breathtaking visuals and superb animations that enhance the overall experience.

The gameplay is praised for its unique charm and diversity, offering a blend of platforming and visual novel elements that keeps players engaged with fresh mechanics and hidden pathways. While many find it fun and challenging, some criticize the pacing and difficulty spikes, particularly in certain levels. Overall, the game combines appealing aesthetics with enjoyable, albeit occasionally frustrating, gameplay experiences.
- “The gameplay is incredibly diverse and endlessly engaging.”
- “I also never really got bored with the levels; new mechanics were added to keep things fresh often enough so that it felt new and fun, but they weren't too complicated to make things hard to keep track of.”
- “The gameplay is really fun (and gets surprisingly challenging, especially in optional areas and in chapter 3); the atmosphere and presentation are superb, and the story and characters are incredibly charming.”
- “The sewer level was way too hard; them suddenly adding a timed mechanic to things, especially a very short time only, was crazy.”
- “Decent gameplay and it looks nice, but the horrible pacing really ruins it.”
- “It's definitely a great game and killer hand-drawn art, but I'm not enjoying the gameplay that much; it feels watered down compared to its peers and just ultimately gets interrupted too much.”

The emotional aspect of "Lapin" is characterized by its heartwarming narrative and character interactions, which resonate deeply with players, particularly through themes of family and growth. While many appreciate the touching moments and aesthetic charm, some feel that the dialogue is overly lengthy, detracting from the pacing and emotional impact. Overall, the game offers a blend of wholesome storytelling and challenging gameplay, making it a memorable experience for those who enjoy emotionally rich adventures.
- “The father-daughter relationship between Captain and Liebe made me cry a few times because it was so sweet. Since Liebe is the youngest, the others are all protective over her, but at the same time want to encourage her to become stronger.”
- “Just finished the game and I definitely spoke too soon about bunnies doing just *cute* things; there are moments that were pretty heart-wrenching in the later chapters and/or were revealed through the memory scenes, but that just makes the characters more endearing and how you'd root for these bunnies throughout the whole game (suffering builds character).”
- “In conclusion, Lapin is a heartwarming adventure that shines brightly in terms of aesthetics and character interactions.”
