  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • monetization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of "Oh Sir!" is criticized for being misleading, as it is presented as a full game when it is actually a demo or advertisement.

Overall, the approach is seen as harmful to both players and legitimate developers.

  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers limited replayability, with players experiencing most of its content within about 30 minutes.

    • “Strange one as it could have a couple hours of replayability if it just had 3-4 times the phrases, which would take absolutely no time or effort to implement.”
    • “It's a strange one, as it could have a couple of hours of replayability if it just had 3-4 times the phrases, which would take absolutely no time or effort to implement. But as it stands, you have seen 100% of the game in about 30 minutes.”
    • “Once you've completed the game, there's little incentive to go back. The lack of variety in gameplay makes replaying feel more like a chore than an enjoyable experience.”
    • “The game lacks the depth needed for replayability. After the first playthrough, everything feels repetitive and predictable.”
