The humor in "Mr. President" is a mixed bag, with many players finding it hilarious due to its absurd ragdoll physics and over-the-top political satire, particularly aimed at Donald Trump. However, some reviewers note that the humor can feel dated and repetitive, with the novelty wearing off after a short time. Overall, while the game offers plenty of laughs, its inconsistent controls and mechanics can detract from the experience, making it more of a fun, casual play rather than a polished title.
“This game is hilarious and I love the gameplay.”
“The humor's over the top and is 'so bad it's funny', made even more comedic from the creator's belief that this game really is some grand political statement rather than a game so poorly made it's good.”
“A hilarious game that's so fun I laugh no matter how many times I fail a level.”
“It's boring, it's mechanically unsound, and worst of all, it's painfully unfunny, having satire as toothless as a newborn and completely unsubtle.”
“It's funny and all, but it's really not funny enough to pay for it.”

The game's story is a mix of humor and absurdity, centered around saving a presidential candidate, with a notable plot twist that many players found surprising and engaging. While some missions are creative and entertaining, others can be frustratingly difficult, leading to mixed feelings about the overall narrative experience. The comedic elements and satirical take on politics add a unique flavor, though the execution can sometimes feel disjointed or overly reliant on luck.
“Finally, the ending, where we assume the role we wanted to be throughout the main story and execute a poetic bullet in slow motion to the head of our greatest enemy, is wonderful.”
“First of all, it has quite possibly the greatest storyline ever created, and even though it is based off of a real person, it still seems to be its own character.”
“Amazing game, great story, very dramatic, stunning graphics, and death.”
“There is not much of a story apart from saving Rump from dying, and each chapter really brings something more hilarious and stupid to the table.”
“You can finish this game in a minimum of 1 hour because the story is short!”
“A big issue I have with the game is that it resets your entire progress in the story mode when you finish it.”

The gameplay of this title is characterized by its quirky, ragdoll physics and humor, which can lead to both fun and frustration. While some players appreciate the comedic elements and the chaotic mechanics, many criticize the controls as clunky and the gameplay as repetitive, with a reliance on luck rather than skill. Overall, it offers a short, amusing experience, but lacks depth and polish, making it more of a novelty than a robust game.
“However, for its cheap price, funny gameplay, and overall short achievements, I think it is worth picking up; just don't be expecting an amazing game, more of a fun experience to generate some laughs.”
“The game mechanics are fun to mess around with, the political commentary is hilarious (if you have my sense of humor, anyway), and the three game modes allow for a decent amount of replayability.”
“The gameplay is wacky and always cracks a smile on my face while playing.”
“The mechanics are garbage, janky, and unfun to use if you're trying to complete the game, aka the whole point of this game.”
“Would not recommend, gameplay is repetitive and boring.”
“The gameplay gets extremely repetitive, the animations are dreadful, the controls are badly placed as most 'moves' are done by using 1, 2, 3, etc. The player can easily slip over on surfaces that they shouldn't slip over on; it's just a big buggy mess.”

The game's replayability is a mixed bag, with some players finding it highly replayable due to varied gameplay mechanics and multiple completion methods, while others criticize it for being too short and lacking substantial replay value. Many suggest that additional features, such as a level editor or more hidden content, could enhance replayability significantly. Overall, opinions range from "somewhat replayable" to "infinitely replayable," depending on individual preferences and experiences.
“The game mechanics are fun to mess around with, the political commentary is hilarious (if you have my sense of humor, anyway) and the three game modes allow for a decent amount of replayability.”
“It was entertaining and quick, and it does have some replayability just to capture all of the different scenes to their full extent.”
“Each level has a multitude of ways that they can be completed, which combined with the goat simulator-esque nature of the physics engine, allows for a good level of replayability.”
“The wrestling portion is really fun as well, but the game is definitely too short and lacks replayability.”
“I give it a negative review because of its incredibly clunky controls, its 2-hour gameplay with little replayability and increasingly laggy final stage.”
“This game could've been much more successful if the developers thought outside of the box and put a replay feature, level editor, didn't put their political opinions in, and made the game have some replayability instead of just having content that can be completed in less than an hour.”

“The menus are close to non-existent, the graphics are unimpressive and the game only has a handful of soundbites and virtually no music.”
“When you get farther and face harder challenges you fail 20 times in a row and respawn in this life-death cycle that is so fast that it's almost like your music is skipping and repeating the same 2-second part over and over again.”
“Except it's not even music, it's a crowd cheering.”

“Coupled with the confusing layout of some levels and the controls that seem inconsistent at times, the game starts strong but ends up being tedious at best and irritating at worst.”
