The gameplay is characterized by a mix of accessible mechanics and challenging elements, but is significantly hampered by a frustrating and unreliable tongue control system that detracts from the overall experience. While the game presents a novel concept and amusing scenarios, the clunky controls and limited character customization options lead to a sense of unfairness and annoyance, overshadowing its potential. Overall, the gameplay is seen as a blend of humor and rhythm-like challenges, but ultimately suffers from execution issues that make it feel more like a prototype than a polished product.
- “The mechanics are the perfect mix of easy to understand and just difficult enough to provide a challenge, especially when stacked on top of each other.”
- “My only criticism would be that character customization options are severely limited, but it's the gameplay that matters.”
- “[hysterical scenarios and premise, rhythm-like gameplay on acid]”
- “As another reviewer pointed out, the tongue mechanics are so clunky that it ruins the rest of the game.”
- “The problem with the tongue is simple - in an already hard and frustrating game, where the main mechanic is pressing loads of inputs in a short amount of time, the tongue's movement is unreliable and it ended up being the main cause of all my failures, making me feel the game's unfair.”
- “So overall, it's a neat, novel idea with a somewhat amusing storyline made ten times as frustrating by an awful control scheme and unnecessary reliance on wonky physics for one of the center mechanics.”

Overall, the game's replayability is limited, with many users noting a lack of polish in controls and systems that detract from the experience. While some elements can be unlocked to increase difficulty, the short runtime and inability to fail levels significantly reduce the incentive to replay. Players may find it entertaining, but should not expect substantial depth or replay value.
- “Does offer some replayability since you can unlock more facial features to control the more you play, and this makes the missions much harder.”
- “However, a lack of polish with regards to the controls, zero replayability, a janky combo system, and the fact you don't actually seem to be able to fail a level all conspire to hold it back from being really easy to recommend.”
- “[lack of polish overall and annoying controls, combo and scoring system need work, seemingly impossible to fail a level, short with no replay value]”
- “Despite its short runtime and minimal replay value, if Speaking Simulator piques your interest, I implore you to give it a go; it’s as entertaining as it looks, but don’t expect anything much deeper than that.”
