The humor in the game is perceived as lacking, with players finding the concept of throwing objects at menacing childlike figures unamusing. While some elements may aim for dark comedy, they often fall flat compared to the more effective humor found in other games.
“Hilariously deadly - to the evil patriarchs from almost all other games.”
