 The overall consensus of the critical reviews was that the game was good, but not great; Oni has a [https://www.metacritic.com/game/oni-2001/ metascore] of 73/100 from critics, but an 8.4/10 from the website's voters.
-Game reviewers often criticized the understated plot, or the lack of variety in mission objectives. Common additional complaints centered on the sparse environments, character models clipping through walls, a lack of interactivity with the environment, and a lack of mouth movements when characters speak during cutscenes.

The most notable shortcoming was the absence of LAN multiplayer, which had been featured in playable demos at expo booths in 1999 and 2000. Previously hyped features were missing, such as the AI characters being able to run for help and work together. This was attributed to the turnover in the AI engineering position after the original programmer was not able to complete all the tasks in the timeframe that she stated she would.<!--

+Nevertheless many players enjoyed the core gameplay immensely and found the story's concepts intriguing. Much fan fiction was written, and a vibrant modding community was formed in the interest of polishing the game further, adding new content, and even recreating cut content that was seen during development.
