What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Shadow of Loot Box is a meta-commentary game that successfully satirizes modern gaming industry practices with clever jokes and solid parody humor, earning praise from players who appreciate its clever design and art style. However, the novelty of the joke wears thin quickly for many players, who find the actual gameplay becomes tedious and boring once the initial premise sinks in, and some note the game lacks basic features like control rebinding that ironically undercut its message about unfinished games.
ok time waster. nothing special.2 found this helpful
Short but fun joke/parody game about what bad stuff the industry has been offering us these past years. The jokes are overall well made, some are basic but some caught me off guard in a fun way. Only complaint would be that you can't rebind controls, it's qwerty or nothing, which is a bit ironic, for a game making fun of unfinished games, to be missing such a basic feature. I got it on sale for 1 or 2€ if I remember right, and went through it in about an hour, quite entertaining overall, I recommend it !1 found this helpful

A great FPS and parody to modern game development. Has a nice artstyle and despite parodying many annoying elements, it's actually fun to play!1 found this helpful
Shadow of Loot Box starts out as an interesting meta commentary on gaming but the joke wears thin before the game ends. Maybe that's intentional to play into the message, but accidentally boring or intentionally boring, the user experience is the same.
HOOOO WEE that joke where I wasted 45 minutes of my life on this "game" sure was a good one! It was so funny I wish I could get my time back! Look, I know it's supposed to be a joke and all, but this is unironically the most boring ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I've played in a while. I've played Roblox games with more effort behind them. Roblox games. For free. Let that sit on your mind for a bit before you go and support this goober dev tryna make a quick buck off of an ironic snoozefest.
