- “Fast game with modern-day graphics and easy controls that move from location A to B to C and so on.”

The gameplay of Voidwalker is characterized by repetitive shooting mechanics, limited weapon variety, and a lack of diverse enemies, which detracts from the overall experience. Players have noted frustrating input issues that can lead to sudden character immobilization, especially on higher difficulty levels. Despite these drawbacks, the game offers some entertainment through its decapitation system and decent controls, making it a passable option for casual play at a low price.
- “The gameplay consists of shooting enemies, upgrading your weapons, and occasionally jumping to reach secrets.”
- “I finished the main campaign in about 90 minutes on extreme difficulty, dying only a few times due to my own mistakes and some one-shot mechanics.”
- “For about a dollar, you'll have a great time killing all the things. If in doubt, try the demo of Putrefaction 2: Void Walker; I'm sure it'll give you enough of a taste of the gameplay to let you know whether or not this is something you'd like.”
- “What ultimately ruins this game for me is the fact that the twitch gameplay this game demands isn't possible because the game will randomly stop registering your keyboard input and leave you standing still - which, even if it only happens for a second while playing on the hardest difficulty, is a death sentence.”
- “Gameplay is repetitive; so far there are only a few guns in my playthrough, those being the handgun, shotgun, and dynamite. There's a lack of enemy variety, just standard shooter, tank, and slicer, but it does have some entertainment with the decapitation system, where shooting an enemy in the leg, arm, or head with a powerful gun causes the limb to come off.”
- “The gameplay consists of only shooting enemies, upgrading your weapons, and a few times during the whole game jumping to get to a secret.”

The game's story is criticized for being minimal and often overshadowed by mindless violence, with players primarily focused on running and shooting enemies without a compelling narrative. While some installments, like "Putrefaction 1" to "Voidwalker," manage to maintain a sense of continuity, others, such as "Rumble," are deemed unsatisfactory and lacking depth, leading to a disappointing experience overall.
- “At least from Putrefaction 1 to Voidwalker, you felt the story continued, and it actually did this really well by carrying on straight after you teleported from the final boss.”
- “But where Voidwalker had at least somewhat of a story and different levels, Rumble is simply a waste of time and you won't be satisfied to have wasted around 90 minutes of your life.”
- “There is not much story behind the game since you basically start running and shooting enemies to find the source of the trouble and obviously destroy it.”
- “But where VW had at least somewhat a story and different levels, Rumble is simply a waste of time and you won't be satisfied to have wasted around 90 minutes of your life.”
- “Sacrificed story almost to a fault for mindless violence, yet that's also what fun about it.”
