The emotional aspect of "Vitatio 2" is largely absent, as players describe it as a simplistic and repetitive mouse dexterity game reminiscent of older mobile titles. While it tests hand-eye coordination, the lack of engaging narrative or character development leaves little room for emotional connection, with many reviewers noting frustrations with gameplay mechanics and overall execution. The game is perceived as lacking depth, making it difficult for players to form any significant emotional attachment.
- “Vitatio 2 is an accuracy-based game in which you need to guide a small ball using your mouse to certain objective points without touching the sides of the walls.”
- “In Vitatio 2, your hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills are tested by having you navigate the mouse pointer through a very short maze while avoiding touching the edges.”
- “The trick is to be able to navigate your little orb/star/whatever to collect whatever other stars there are on each level without touching the walls of the maze.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its calming and concentration-enhancing qualities, while others criticize it for being repetitive and poorly suited to the game's atmosphere. Notably, the reliance on a single classical tune has been highlighted as a significant drawback, leading to frustration among players. Overall, while the soundtrack has its moments, it often fails to complement the gameplay effectively.

- “The music is actually a very good piece - it makes you concentrate and is not annoying.”
- “This is an easy (or hard, depending on the quality and settings of your mouse) puzzle game with a cool soundtrack.”

- “The music consists of one bombastic classical tune played on piano and percussion, which doesn't really fit a game like this.”
- “But there are of course a few minor problems such as a slight clipping issue (you will fail despite not touching the wall), the music is *bs* and does not fit the game in the slightest, nice textures but needs some variation.”
