The game's story has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its horror elements and emotional depth, particularly through the protagonist Yeonho's perspective. While some found the narrative engaging and a good continuation from previous installments, others felt it lacked enough new content to stand alone and criticized certain gameplay aspects as repetitive. Overall, it appeals to fans of horror stories, but some players noted technical issues and pacing problems that detracted from the experience.
“He survived 3 long years in the coma, but when Mina came along into the coma as well, it's only been 3 weeks since Youngho got into the coma (time is different in both worlds). In the end, I recommend this game for those who enjoy horror stories or horror in general.”
“+ The story is wonderfully presented from Yeonho's perspective, showcasing his emotions and interactions with familiar and new characters.”
“10/10 I love the story of it!”
“This game primarily serves to bridge the story between Coma and Coma 2, offering little new to the narrative itself.”
“Even if you were to ignore all the technical issues that could potentially be fixed in the future, the plot really doesn't shine enough to justify the existence of this game.”
“I did like some new gameplay aspects they added and the story is just fine, but this shouldn't be sold as a separate game.”

Overall, the gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it tedious due to repetitive tasks and lengthy dialogues. While some appreciate the new mechanics introduced in "The Coma 2B," others criticize the game for its clunky interactions, buggy mechanics, and an overwhelming number of enemies, making it feel more challenging yet frustrating. Additionally, the lack of engaging lore and underwhelming items like the necro blade contribute to a sense of disappointment in the gameplay experience.
“The difficulty of the gameplay and puzzles increased, while the puzzles I feel like it's okay.”
“It is an even more challenging game gameplay-wise compared to Recut and Vicious Sisters.”
“The coma 2B feels not just like an appendage to the second part, but like a full-fledged game with its own mechanics and gameplay innovations.”
“It may be intended to help players familiarize themselves with the game mechanics, but after navigating the lengthy dialogue in the school area, being presented with yet another repetitive task makes the game feel tedious to play.”
“The gameplay just becomes annoying with the amount of enemies and frustrating mechanics that you will have to dodge.”
“It's littered with buggy interactions, clunky mechanics, and obtuse puzzles.”
