The story in "Perfect Angle" is generally viewed as incoherent and poorly integrated with the gameplay, with many players finding it unnecessary or lacking depth. While some appreciate the philosophical themes surrounding memory, the execution is criticized for its weak narrative connections and dull voice acting, leading to a frustrating experience for those seeking a compelling tale. Overall, the story feels like an afterthought, detracting from the puzzle-solving experience rather than enhancing it.
- “Perfect angle: the puzzle game based on optical illusions is an interesting game that tells a vague story through memories unlocked with each puzzle completed.”
- “Surprisingly, this has a very interesting and philosophical plot that isn't to be ignored.”
- “First of all, the developers decided to embed the puzzles into a narrated story that slowly unfolds when you successfully solve the puzzles.”
- “The story is pretty much negligible, however.”
- “The voiceover's kind of cheesy, and the story is obvious chaff that tries to give meaning to the mindless twirling you do but fails to be anything resembling a compelling tale.”
- “The connection between the puzzles and the story is weak; objects you've discovered are often shoehorned into the story.”

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, primarily due to the presence of in-game advertisements for other titles and microtransactions for hints, which many players find frustrating in a paid game. Users express disappointment that the game, despite its cost, feels like a port of a mobile title with excessive self-promotion and costly in-app purchases, detracting from the overall experience. Many suggest that the reliance on ads and microtransactions undermines the game's value and enjoyment.
- “If your game was free for phones and had in-game purchases, that would be understandable.”
- “I want to see that you actually put some effort into making it on PC as well, especially with those in-game purchases when I've already paid €10.”

- “The bad about this game isn't necessarily the game itself, but that there are in-game advertisements for other games and microtransactions.”
- “I want to see that you actually put some effort to make it on PC as well (like really, those in-game purchases, when I've already paid 10€?).”
- “However, that could be overlooked if not for the fact that as a port of a mobile game, it's also ported over the in-game advertisements (some of which alt+tab you out of the game) and in-game microtransactions for 'hints' (a pay-to-skip-wait system).”
