According to Rock, Paper, Shotgun, Lair of the Clockwork God has a firm grasp on comedy, calling it a stress test for the rib cage. It goes on to say that it "celebrates the tension between old and new, and finds profound comedy in the juxtaposition".[2] Per The Guardian, the game strikes an impressive balance between point and click games and platformers.[3]
