Improved gameplay mechanics including a comeback system and clearer scoring provide a more strategic insult-building experience.
The Hollywood-themed characters and setting with pop culture references add a fun and fresh twist to the original game's insult battles.
Steam Workshop support enables custom characters and content, enhancing replayability and community engagement.

Humor and insults are less effective than in the original, with many jokes feeling dated, less clever, or overly reliant on niche pop culture references.
Single-player content is limited and repetitive, and online multiplayer is essentially dead, making full completion and achievements difficult or impossible.
The art style and voice acting are less appealing and sometimes awkward compared to the first game, diminishing the overall charm.

The humor in this game is a mixed bag, often described as quirky, absurd, and profane with clever pop culture references, but many feel it lacks the sharpness and novelty of the original, with some finding the insults less funny and more repetitive. It shines most when played with friends, delivering laughs through silly, outlandish roasts and parody characters, though solo play can feel slower and less engaging. Overall, it appeals to fans of irreverent, crude comedy, but its humor may not resonate equally with everyone.
- “The Hollywood Roast is a hilariously addictive party game that brings the drama and laughs of Hollywood to your screen!”
- “The clever humor and engaging mechanics make every session unforgettable—highly recommended for comedy lovers!”
- “Sharp humor with the Monty Python feel, good references, witty lines and still the same amazing artstyle.”

The gameplay builds upon its predecessor with deeper mechanics, including a new comeback feature and character-specific short campaigns, enhancing round dynamics and content variety. While improvements are noted, some find the single-player mode too easy and less engaging over time, with limited replay value and inconsistent AI challenge. Overall, the gameplay is polished and enjoyable, especially in multiplayer, but may lack freshness for those seeking significant innovation.
- “There are gameplay improvements with each character having a short campaign of sorts, and the comeback mechanic making rounds more interesting.”
- “Obviously as the sequel, new game mechanics are introduced and tournament, or rather, career mode offers specific challenges for each character as they make their way to the final scene.”
- “This game has deeper gameplay mechanics than its predecessor (Oh... Sir! The Insult Simulator).”
- “The gameplay is terrible as well; in the first one, when you said something funny, it might not give you many points but at least you didn't actively lose points.”
- “The mechanics just aren't there to make this game interesting after a few sessions.”
- “The downside on this game is that once you've played through a few times, it doesn't bear a lot of repeat single player gameplay.”

The graphics feature a quirky, retro pixel art style with a polished Hollywood-themed aesthetic and solid modding support, which some players find charming and fitting. However, others criticize the art style as less appealing, calling it hideous or low-effort, with certain design choices like long arms being distracting. Overall, the visuals receive a mixed response, praised for style and polish but divisive in appeal.
- “[b]Graphics[/b]: same quirky pixely art style, workshop support for custom skins and a fantastic Hollywood theme both within game art and menu aesthetic.”
- “The new comeback system is great, the characters, sounds and graphics are great, the insults are even funnier, the career mode is better with the objectives on different stages and there is decent modding support and workshop content.”
- “Sharp humor with the Monty Python feel, good references, witty lines and still the same amazing artstyle.”
- “The game has a hideous art style.”
- “This one has an ugly art style and terrible voice acting.”
- “They slapped on some low-effort pixel graphics to make it look like they put some effort in (why does everything have to be retro pixel!? Oh yes... actual artists cost money) and made it some kind of game where you insult other people instead of just looking at randomly generated insults.”

The music varies between scenes and generally complements the game's retro style, though some users find the soundtrack and sound effects excessively loud, especially during the intro. Additionally, background songs with vocals can disrupt the atmosphere and may cause issues with copyright during streaming.
- “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
- “Soundtrack varies between scenes, which I can greatly appreciate.”
- “It is a novelty, insult battle game with retro style pixelated visuals and simple soundtrack.”

The story features a surprising, Hollywood-style plot twist that reshapes the previous game's narrative, offering an engaging moral about perseverance. However, some find the solo campaign repetitive and the humor inappropriate, with critiques targeting both character development and quest variety. Overall, opinions on the story are mixed, balancing intrigue with notable flaws.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “A great sequel that changed the whole plot of the last game to a Hollywood-type feel, definitely worth a try!”
- “Night Shyamalan plot twist.”
- “The solo campaign is kind of boring, mostly because enemies are very dumb; repeating the same quests for every hero is silly – give everyone different quests to have something interesting to aim for.”
- “Night Shyamalan plot twist, but the story is full of tasteless racist jokes, and your character has never manscaped or got beauty secrets from nude Tom Hardy.”
- “This game's roster is small and the AI is weaker than the plot twist in The Village.”

grinding
4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Grinding in the game is mostly enjoyable early on and in singleplayer, but becomes tedious and near impossible later, especially when unlocking certain characters. Achievements and duels are generally less grindy and easier to obtain, though some require intentionally poor performance, which some players find frustrating.
- “It's only really enjoyable early on and if playing singleplayer, or trying to unlock all characters which, in 2026, is completely impossible without going back to older versions in order to unlock Nosferateen (a tedious process).”
- “My main complaints about the game are mostly all within the grinding for achievements based around doing very poorly (for the comeback mechanic).”
monetization
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The monetization is perceived as a rushed cash grab, with a poorly explained tutorial and difficult interface, leading to a generally negative impression of value.
- “This feels like a rushed cash grab.”
- “It is newer than 'Oh Sir! The Insult Simulator' and still sucks, the interface is hard to navigate, the tutorial does not explain that well and it just seems like a really mediocre cash grab.”
optimization
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The game shows significant optimization improvements over its predecessor, featuring clearer, more intuitive design and reduced performance demands. It effectively resolves many prior issues while enhancing overall gameplay, resulting in a smoother and more enjoyable experience.
- “This game is much better than the first; the layout looks a lot nicer and is a lot clearer and more intuitive, the game is less performance-demanding, the insults are better and make a lot more sense... the list goes on, with other reviews having covered why it's better.”
- “Summary: a worthy follow-up that fixed most issues (at least the most nagging ones), improved performance, and built on the original game's strengths.”
