The gameplay of "Never Stop Sneakin'" features a simplified stealth mechanic with semi-randomly generated levels, creating an engaging loop that can become repetitive over time. While the game offers a fun experience with its quirky humor and aesthetic, players note a lack of depth and complexity, as the core mechanics remain largely unchanged throughout the game. Despite its shortcomings, many find the gameplay satisfying and enjoyable, especially for fans of the genre.
- “In addition to the obvious stealth action elements, one other thing I like about the gameplay is that the levels are semi-randomly generated, which is something I've been a sucker for ever since Diablo I.”
- “With a low-poly, unfiltered PS1 textures look to it, a catchy theme song, weird story, and some forced humor, the bulk of Never Stop Sneakin's gameplay has you running through randomly generated facilities collecting currency, important gizmos, and NPCs, all the while evading guards, security cameras, and turrets.”
- “Still, the gameplay is (kind of weirdly) satisfying and the absurdness of the plot yet deadpan series delivery of the voice acting make it a blast.”
- “Gameplay changes are drip-fed at an absolutely ludicrously slow speed and are definitely not deep enough.”
- “After around two hours, the gameplay has already shown its entire hand, and then it expects you to keep repeating the same gameplay loop for another thirteen hours with the only things changing about gameplay being unlocked perks that make you nigh untouchable and enemy movement routes and patterns becoming faster.”
- “Literally, just that, the gameplay never changes, barely gets any harder (if anything it gets easier) and the actual comedic (yet still good) scenes are few; and the entire thing just feels padded all to hell.”

Despite its comedic elements and engaging premise, the story often feels more developed than the gameplay itself, leaving players wanting more depth in the interactive aspects.

- “The story of 'Never Stop Sneakin'' is simple and completely ridiculous.”
