  • gameplay50 mentions

    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.”
  • story46 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 is both charming and silly. While the characters and presentation are enjoyable, many reviewers feel the narrative is stretched too thin over the game's length, leading to a sense of repetitiveness in gameplay that detracts from the overall experience. 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 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 game's presentation is likely to be what draws 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 story of 'Never Stop Sneakin'' is simple and completely ridiculous.”
    • “The plot is silly, hilarious, charming, and is spread far too thin because this game is too long for its own good.”
  • humor36 mentions

    The humor in the game is widely praised for its originality and charm, featuring hilarious cutscenes, witty writing, and great voice acting that keeps players entertained throughout.

However, some players noted that the humor can wear thin over time, particularly with repetitive boss encounters.

    • “It's funny in a way that I've rarely seen in a game.”
    • “The plot is silly, hilarious, charming, and is spread far too thin because this game is too long for its own good.”
    • “It's a fantastic little game, to just sit back and relax through, with hilarious and dumb (in the good way) dialogue.”

Overall, the soundtrack is considered a standout feature, enhancing the game's charm and humor.
