Critical reception

Upon its release, Unsaved Progress received positive reviews. Calum Slingerland of Exclaim! noted that Double Experience "check[s] all the boxes of a modern-rock smash".[5] David Navarro of Slicker Magazine praised the album, labeling the music as a mix of "Fall Out Boy, Queens of the Stone Age and even a little Coheed and Cambria, all while still maintaining an aesthetic that feels wholly unique perhaps entirely due to their lyrical subject matter."[6]

Critique de Salon reviewer Olivier Dénommée rated the album 7.5/10 as felt that the album's style was "well put-together" and "would please nerds who want to rock... even if the band will never write something as epic as actual video game music".[7]
