  • gameplay25 mentions

    The gameplay of "Never Stop Sneakin'" features a simplified stealth mechanic with semi-randomly generated levels, providing a fun yet repetitive experience. While the core loop is enjoyable and the comedic elements add charm, players may find the lack of depth and progression frustrating, as the gameplay remains largely unchanged throughout the experience. Overall, it offers a satisfying blend of humor and action, but may not sustain long-term engagement due to its limited complexity.

    • “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.”
    • “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.”
  • story23 mentions

    The story of "Never Stop Sneakin'" is a humorous and absurd parody reminiscent of the Metal Gear Solid series, featuring a nonsensical plot that unfolds through quirky characters and self-aware dialogue. While the narrative is engaging and encourages players to explore urban legends, it often feels stretched thin due to repetitive gameplay and a lack of meaningful choices. Overall, the charm of the story and its presentation is overshadowed by the game's length and gameplay limitations, leaving players with mixed feelings about its execution.

    • “The plot is rather nonsensical, as it should be, but I still liked the characters. Not to mention it actually got me to do a little independent research on a certain urban legend I'd never heard of before.”
    • “The story of 'Never Stop Sneakin'' is simple and completely ridiculous.”
    • “The game's presentation is likely to draw a lot of folks in, and they're sure to not be the least bit disappointed by the PSX-era graphical style and silly time travel story that unfolds similarly to Metal Gear Solid.”
    • “Well, I'm very disappointed that I paid 10 dollars for this game that feels like a proof-of-concept with end-of-project story cutscenes.”
    • “The plot is silly, hilarious, charming, and is spread far too thin because this game is too long for its own good.”
    • “Even when you have a special mission like 'rescue this dude' or 'blow up Amadeus Guildenstern's doomsday weapon', it's the same dungeon just with the objective slotted into a random locked room where perks usually spawn.”
