    • “Kind of annoying when you're almost done with the boss and die due to some strange mechanics.”

    The story of "Plushie from the Sky" is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating its creative and engaging elements, while others find it lacking depth and coherence.

    • “Great game, great mechanics, heartwarming story.”
    • “Add onto all that some genuinely awesome moments of environmental storytelling, a really cool final boss, and a really nicely animated music video you get after beating the game, and this went from a neat and affordable novelty to one of my favorite games of the year so far.”
    • “The last leg of this game was building up for its grand reveal and while I thought it would go the predictable route, it didn't and I felt like it fell short at the end for that reason, as the story itself really took a backseat to everything else and I wasn't satisfied when finishing.”
    • “The game features a little bit of a story and some smaller cutscenes but it is mostly nonsensical and no deep lore hidden in the game; I liked it for that though, it fits the game.”
    • “Definitely a souls-like game in terms of mechanics and story as I had no idea what was going on; I'm not even sure if the protagonist is a loli or a shota.”
