The game lacks significant replayability after completion, as players find little incentive to revisit it beyond experiencing different game over screens, which ultimately feels unfulfilling.
“It's a bit of a shame because there isn't a lot of 'normal' replay value after you've beaten the game.”
“Note: [spoiler] this renders the replay value in seeing every game over screen variation void.”
