The gameplay of "Plushie from the Sky" features a mix of creative level design and unique mechanics, drawing inspiration from action RPGs like Dark Souls while maintaining a more forgiving difficulty. Players appreciate the engaging boss encounters and smooth movement mechanics, though some find the overall challenge lacking and certain mechanics underutilized. While the game offers a fun and whimsical experience, it could benefit from more polish in its mechanics and narrative depth.
- “Each of these locations contains many unique gameplay elements of traversal which leads you to generally learn new moves each level.”
- “The mechanics are straightforward, making it accessible for players of all skill levels.”
- “The game is kept fresh from unlocking new mechanics with each setting, and it doesn't overstay its welcome with its length, leaving it a relatively fine package.”
- “While the levels and bosses are creative, the mechanics, narrative, and sound could definitely use some love.”
- “Kind of annoying when you're almost done with the boss and die due to some strange mechanics.”
- “Mechanically, 'Plushie from the Sky' doesn't do anything unique from souls-likes or 3D platformers we see today; your attacks, dodges, and jumps feel rather standard and, as a result, the game feels deficient in comparison to its peers.”

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. Many reviews highlight the unique environmental storytelling and unexpected twists, which contribute to a fun experience, though some feel the narrative takes a backseat to gameplay. Overall, the game is noted for its heartwarming moments and intriguing plot, despite some jankiness and a nonsensical approach that may not resonate with everyone.
- “This game is a lot of fun with a deep, dark story that takes a bit before it takes off, but the payoff is very worth it.”
- “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.”
