The humor in the game is described as hit-or-miss, with some players finding it hilariously awesome while others feel it falls flat, particularly in the story mode which can be completed quickly without eliciting much laughter. The game features a unique brand of humor that may appeal to a specific audience, but its execution, including a lengthy unskippable segment, detracts from the overall experience for some players. Despite mixed reactions, many appreciate the humor in the sandbox modes and the game's quirky elements.
“Hilariously awesome!”
“It's hilariously non-immersive from the moment you get started.”
“Overall, this game is well worth the $20 for the sandbox modes, the overall humor behind the whole game, and the ability to play with rockets.”
“You have to sit in front of the dev being unfunny on a TV for 40 minutes straight, almost entirely unskippable.”
“On top of being unfunny, it also fails to tell a story in an interesting way.”
