The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players criticizing them as outdated and choppy, reminiscent of older titles from the 90s, while others appreciate the beauty and smooth performance at high settings. Despite the initial perception of poor visuals, many players find that the game's unique concept and engaging gameplay can overshadow the graphical shortcomings. Overall, while improvements are suggested, the graphics do not significantly detract from the overall experience for some players.
- “The graphics are beautiful; I'm surprised you still have a perfect 120 fps with them on ultra.”
- “It took me by pleasant surprise, but the game is a decent survival game in development by a single guy. Although the map is small, you can still do what you do in survival games, and the graphics are also nice, so I don't think there is anything that should stop you from trying it out.”
- “Okay, this one is a little different, and I don't die when I first enter the game. I get to explore at my own pace; that's a big plus. The graphics could be a little better, but not bad, and you can get DLC if you buy it on special, which keeps it interesting.”
- “The game has poor graphics and the game space does not convey any feeling to the player.”
- “Andarildo is a game with bad graphics, and very, very boring gameplay.”
- “Reminds me of 7 Days to Die, but it feels really old; the driving sucks, and the graphics on the houses look like they are from the 90s.”
