The gameplay of "The Marvelous Miss Take" is characterized by its simple yet engaging stealth mechanics, allowing players to navigate levels by hiding, distracting guards, and stealing art. While the game features a charming art style and a catchy soundtrack, some players find the random movement of guards frustrating, leading to a gameplay experience that can feel both thrilling and chance-based. Overall, the game offers a solid foundation with multiple characters and replayability, though it may lack depth and variety in mechanics as it progresses.
- “The gameplay is simple to learn but evading the guards, dogs, and cameras can be rather tricky, especially in the later levels.”
- “With its sleek visuals, chill music, and fun gameplay, it makes for a great experience.”
- “The mechanics are simple but neat, providing a solid foundation for engaging gameplay.”
- “First is the absolutely atrocious frame rate issues, that are caused by the game stalling on keyboard and mouse inputs apparently. Worse yet, the Steam version runs even worse than the GOG one (and they're not cross-compatible). You can remove that issue by playing with a gamepad, but that comes with the big trade-off of removing any sort of precision when throwing things, which is a central game mechanic later on.”
- “I will say reasonable price, I bought it on sale so can't complain too much, I like the concept and visuals, just wish the gameplay wasn't such a stress-inducing experience. The music and style seem like it should've been fairly relaxing.”
- “But with the price tag, I am expecting more than randomness and frustrating gameplay.”

- “The graphics are simple but that plays to its advantage as it has a nice comic book feel to it, and of course because of that it's easy on the graphics cards which means that most if not all can buy and enjoy this game without stupid FPS drop issues.”
- “But when every level has the exact same visuals, guards, dogs, cameras, and goals, the game is repetitive enough already.”
- “Very repetitive, simple graphics.”

The story in the game is generally described as simple and somewhat underdeveloped, serving primarily as a backdrop for the gameplay rather than a focal point. While it features a light-hearted narrative about a thief reclaiming her family's art collection, many reviewers noted that the plot lacks depth and can feel rudimentary, with some characters and missions being more engaging than others. Overall, the story is seen as adequate for casual play but may not satisfy those seeking a rich narrative experience.
- “The story is simple but the message it conveys is something I want to highlight.”
- “The story is simple and the two main characters are interesting, each with unique features that change the way you play the game depending on who you pick.”

- “Sadly, the plot and the characters are very rudimentary and feel unfinished, so if you are a fan of story-rich games, this might not be your title.”
- “The story started fine, but really got lost somewhere in between.”
- “The story is flimsy and not particularly interesting.”

- “The marvellous miss take shows you how stealth games can still innovate, and the fantastic heist-themed soundtrack is just the cherry on top.”
- “My only nitpick if I'd have to pick something here it would be the music.”
- “It's pleasant however I do see it getting old after a while (but that's not a big deal considering you can just switch the music off and put your own music from your PC as the BGM).”
- “The graphics and the accompanying music indicate this must be the 1950s or 60s.”
replayability

The game boasts high replayability due to randomized guard placements, multiple characters with distinct stealth mechanics, and various playstyles that keep each level fresh. While some players feel the game may only entertain for a limited time, the inclusion of challenges, par times, and diverse character abilities significantly enhances replay value. However, the absence of a level editor is noted as a missed opportunity to further extend the game's longevity.
- “This game is, in my opinion, endlessly replayable, as the position and movement of the guards is randomized each time you enter a level, which can either work in your favor or make you wish you weren't caught red-handed with the gallery's masterpiece when having to navigate three guards and one guard dog all in a small room.”
- “There's also a handful of characters with different priorities when going through the levels, and different abilities and gameplay, which, aside from the main campaign and getting three stars (or three frames), adds a heck of a lot more replayability to the game.”
- “I gave this game an 8/10 because although it is a very fun game to play, it is a shame that the developers did not add a level editor which would increase this game's replayability.”
- “The game is comparatively short, but with the randomization, three different styles of stealth play, and the addition of challenges and par times, replay value is pretty high - not to mention its visual style and sound design are an absolute joy.”

The game's optimization has been noted to cause slight stuttering due to running on multiple software layers, but this does not significantly detract from the overall experience. Players must navigate levels quickly and boldly, as they are designed with time constraints that encourage fast-paced stealth action.

- “The slight stuttering doesn't ruin the game, though.”
