    The gameplay of the game is a mixed bag, with many players appreciating its old-school charm and clever character design, but criticizing its outdated mechanics and lack of helpful guidance.

    • “It's a shame since, again, the cast (crew of Monty Python are here), style, atmosphere, writing, 3D environments, and character designs are all expertly crafted, but the gameplay not being helpful to the player in any way really ruins what could've been a great game.”
    • “You'll have exhausted all possibilities before looking up the guide and realizing that a mechanic existed that you had never been introduced to or had any hints might exist.”
    • “Sadly, the gameplay itself is nothing special either.”
