    The monetization strategy of "Panic Room 2: Hide and Seek" has been criticized as exploitative, with players labeling it a cash grab filled with intrusive microtransactions typical of mobile apps. While some users noted that ads were not overly frequent, the overall sentiment reflects a strong disapproval of the game's financial practices and its lack of value for PC gamers.

    • “Panic Room 2: Hide and Seek is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab by greedy mobile developers. Superficially, this is just a really badly made hidden object puzzle game, but it's much more sinister.”

    • “Stay safe out there, and avoid this cancerous mobile app spyware cash grab trash.”
  • gameplay
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is criticized for being lackluster and uninspired, with locked resolution and mediocre 2D art, leading to a perception that it lacks value for PC gamers. While some users found it acceptable initially, overall impressions suggest a disappointing experience compared to other titles in the genre.

    • “Before we get into the bad stuff, it's worth noting the game is already immediately disqualified as having any value for PC gamers, with locked resolution, mediocre 2D art, and stale, uninspired hog gameplay that makes Artifex Mundi cash grabs look like masterpieces.”
    • “The gameplay was okay, at first.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
