Hermit and Pig is praised mainly for its engaging story and character work, with 16 mentions highlighting a stronger, more dynamic narrative especially in the second half, memorable reveals, and satisfying character interactions and resolutions. Reviewers also consistently enjoyed the Reckoning gameplay activity (11 mentions), calling its tactics, tiered structure, varied mechanics, and rewards fun and accessible, with worthwhile armor and loot to pursue. Several notes emphasize that the event adds interesting lore, represents later-game characters well, and keeps fan service mostly in-character. Overall there is broad agreement that the event improves on prior content by delivering enjoyable story beats and tactically interesting activities.

Criticisms focus on the story's first half and some narrative beats, with five mentions calling the opening dull, repetitive or an underwhelming main event and noting a stretched or poorly signposted plot point about stopping a war. A minority of reviewers disliked the presence of fan service and felt it might not appeal to everyone. On the gameplay side two mentions warn that higher-tier bosses can be punishing—tier 2 enemies can nearly one-shot players and tier 3 requires handling specific mechanics to avoid wipes—indicating a difficulty spike that demands caution.
