Only If, for all of its conflicting ideas, is still worth playing, and considering it’s free to play on Steam, you really have no excuse not to. Just try not to think of what could’ve been.
It will cost a couple hours of your life to finish Only If, and that price is too high for the few fleeting, interesting concepts buried in the wreckage.

Excellent game but it is true that it has bugs that do not affect the gameplay and script conveniences like any game but apart from that it is a good game

At times it seems like Only If might actively hate its audience, that it resents being played at all.
Buggy behavior and clunky locomotion make it a mechanical failure, leaving the story and themes to make good where gameplay could not. Alas, irredeemable characters and loathsome dialogue aren't appropriate pillars upon which to erect a substantial tale.
The aggregate score of this game on Metacritic for both professional and gamer is why I never pay any attention to Metacritic. Then why am I here. I am here to say this game is a good example of why gamers should decide for themselves on a game. Only if is a game wherein a gamer has to address his or herself to what is on the screen not what they are used to being on their monitor screen. Most games involve only hand eye coordination, this game requires something other than stimulus response --it requires thought, which sadly most games never exercise in most gamers. This game really forces one to be observant with ones power of observation, which as I said a great many games do not require. So, this game, despite bugs is still imminently playable and rewarding to play. If you don't want to think when you play, except for which button on a QTE to push, then don't get this game. However, if you like games which stir one's cognitive powers, this is a great game. I give it a 10.

Only If is..... a weird game. It's free but..
The good: It has good puzzles, it has sometimes some good humor, it's free.
The bad: You feel forced to do stuff, you are not explained what you have to do and if they do they explain it in a really bad way.
The game is more of a something to just kick you really hard. It feels like a giant joke pulled on you.
It's free however so you can always check it out.

The game itself is not bad but feels like it's not worth the time you lose playing.
Ah, the camera will continuously swing left to right to a point that I had to stop playing after one hour because I almost threw up.
Probably would have been a 4, but I'm giving +1 because it's a free to play indie.

What happens when you mix boring, obnoxious platforming and puzzle solving with awful and try hard voice acting. Well, you get Only If, one of the most dull one trick ponies I've played in a long time. Listening to a voice on the radio while on an acid trip might seem interesting in the sense that you may have pretty neat visuals, but the visuals at best are unmemorable. There is not much to this game other than you can laugh at how hard it tries to be funny and deep with that awful thing they call voice acting and presentation. An absolute thumbs down.

This game is absurd. The plot is so small and random it might have been better without one. The voice acting is horrible. Also not very exiting in any way. I didn't laugh, cry, get tensed up, scared, or wonder how to beat the level once in the whole game. Tedious.

Summary Only If is a surreal first person adventure-puzzle game. You play as Anthony Clyde, who, after a heavy night of partying, wakes up to find himself in an unfamiliar bed with no memory of the previous night's events.
