History YMMV / SinAndPunishment

* SpiritualLicensee: There's actually a third VideoGame/SinAndPunishment title out. It's called VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising.

* {{Narm}}: Saki's voice(s). He sounds like a teenager in cutscenes and dialogue, yet when you're in control of him and making him attack, take damage, and get knocked down, ''he sounds like a middle-aged man''.
** A lot of the voice acting in general is SoBadItsGood, especially Achi constantly overlapping ''her own'' dialogue.

* ThatOneLevel: Stage 2-2, in which you are constantly bombarded by gunfire by turrets from gunship cruisers that are both bothersome and annoying, you can easily miss the time bonus from the mid-boss roughly half-way through and time items don't show up until further in the level, plus if you're trying to get a high score run, missing your chance to slash the mothership's core will strip you of your ''entire'' stage clear bonuses.
** Stage 3-2 can also be one since the controls were not made for a 2D side-scroller and you'll be fight the controls more than Ruffians.

* ThatOneBoss: [[spoiler:Transformed Achi - Earth Mimicry]]. Considering the bonus for this boss requires practically frame-perfect movement and aiming to stop any collateral damage AND that there's three ways to lose the fight (you die, time runs out, or [[spoiler:Earth is destroyed by Achi]]...)
** It's sort-of balanced out by the fact that you'd have to be ''trying'' to lose before earning at least one continue, meaning you'll have as many chances to defeat the boss as you want.
** Polestar at the end of 2-2, although that's more of a NoobBridge than anything for those who have yet to figure out that auto-aim reduces shot damage.

** Ruffian Saki's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RirrfF0bORA Blood Infactor]]

* MostAnnoyingSound: Airan's BigNo whenever she is hit.
** And then there's Leda: "FIGHT ME! NYYA! NYYA! NYAA-AOW! EYAAAAAA! [[OverlyLongGag NYYAAAAA!]]" It's at its worst near the middle of 2-1, where she goes "NYAA" no less than ''eight'' times.
** "Get Bonus!" Although, this could also be good if [[SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound you like high scores]].

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Saki isn't exactly the most masculine looking video game character, leading to someone on [=NSider2's=] first thought on seeing his Assist Trophy update in the VideoGame/SuperSmashBros blog, "Who's the chick?" His Smash 4 trophy description outright lampshades this.

* AntiClimaxBoss: [[spoiler:The final boss is rather easy to beat]], but if you want to go for a Perfect Run (shoot every bullet thrown by the boss), that's a different story. Higher difficulty levels, however, will live up to the game's reputation.

** Also the goddamned "Heart Seeker". You are Airan, chasing the boss, a giant missile on a levitating platform, trying to shoot it down. It doesn't attack you. Why is it so difficult? Because it's aimed at Ruffian Saki. If it hits him, you die. It's been given enough hit points so that you can only possibly kill it if you basically NEVER MISS IT on the way down and then get pretty much the maximum possible amount of slashes in on it at the last minute when you're actually close enough. And Saki is attacking you the entire time, just to make life difficult. Oh, and this was on normal. Hard is hell.
** Heart Seeker is easier to beat when you don't lock on it, which you may not realize because you just fought a boss that you almost had to lock on to beat. Also, experienced players can position themselves so that Saki's shots will hit the heart seeker, but its a shock at first.

** Stage 3-3 can also be one since the controls were not made for a 2D side-scroller and you'll be fight the controls more than Ruffians.
