The gameplay across the collection is a mixed bag, featuring a variety of short, horror-themed games that average around 30 minutes each. While some titles, like "Poop Killer 3," introduce unique mechanics, others suffer from repetitive and simplistic gameplay that can feel tedious and derivative. Overall, the diversity in style is appreciated, but many players find the gameplay lacks depth and excitement, leading to a generally underwhelming experience.
- “What makes Dread X Collection so good, in my opinion, is that every game is different in style and gameplay, so it's very diverse because each game is made by a different developer, and in general, most of the games in their collections are very good.”
- “The iterative gameplay kept things tense and made me pay attention to any minor change, and it was just quite intriguing from beginning to end!”
- “It had a simple gameplay that was pretty FNAF-like (or at least felt like it): survive until 6 AM, blocking your windows, so the killer won't get in your house.”
- “The games all feel the same because the gameplay doesn't change from game to game and it's very boring.”
- “One thing I think is cool about this collection is that it is very cheesy and I love that, but it just isn't enough for me to recommend it since I hate the gameplay so much and I'm pretty sure after 5 games it won't change.”
- “Genuinely, I thought the gameplay was super boring; I had to force myself to finish the games I tried.”
