The game's replayability is a mixed bag, with many players enjoying the freedom to approach objectives in various ways and the addition of post-game challenges that enhance replay value. However, several reviews highlight the game's short duration—often completed in under 4 hours—which limits its long-term appeal, especially once players have unlocked all achievements. While some find it infinitely replayable due to its charm and co-op potential, others feel that the lack of substantial content makes it less recommendable at full price.
- “Each objective is a new opportunity for fun and chaos, and the freedom to approach them in various ways adds a layer of replayability.”

- “The game overall has many things to do, and is infinitely replayable, making it a great game.”
- “My major complaint is mostly that the game is extremely short (likely under 2 hours) with not much replayability, which makes it hard to recommend unless it's on sale for less than $10.”
- “The biggest downside is that I 100% completed it in 4 hours and that it has very small replayability.”
- “Completed the game within 2.2 hours (just over the refund limit in Steam), while it was an interesting game to play co-op, the tasks became a sort of rinse and repeat and £15 for 2 hours of gameplay and little replayability makes me feel I purchased a demo instead of an actual game.”
