The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players noting dated visuals reminiscent of older titles, while others appreciate the beauty and performance, particularly at high settings. Many agree that while the graphics may not be cutting-edge, they do not detract significantly from the overall gameplay experience, and there is potential for improvement. Overall, the visuals are seen as a secondary aspect to the game's engaging mechanics and unique concept.
- “The graphics are beautiful, I'm surprised you still have a perfect 120 fps with them on ultra.”
- “The graphics on the cars look newer.”
- “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, the graphics are also nice, so I don't think there is anything that should stop you from trying it out.”
- “The game has poor graphics and the game space does not convey any feeling to the player.”
- “Reminds me of 7 Days to Die, but it feels really old; like the driving sucks, graphics on the houses look like they are from the 90s.”
- “The game may initially seem like a simple survival title with dated visuals, but as you play, its unique and multifaceted concept becomes increasingly compelling.”

The gameplay of Andarilho is characterized by a mix of crafting, exploration, and storytelling, but it suffers from a slow pace and complexity that may frustrate players seeking more dynamic experiences. While some unique mechanics are present, many users find them poorly implemented or lacking in purpose, leading to a perception of the game as mediocre and unengaging. Overall, the gameplay does not resonate well with those looking for fast-paced action, and many aspects feel glitchy or underdeveloped.
- “I've seen some cool (and weird) features & mechanics like the crafting & inventory system.”
- “In the gameplay, you can build and craft stuff; also, there are guns, cars, zombies, and aliens, so that's pretty cool.”
- “This game is bad, good concept though; gameplay reminds me of Rust.”
- “The slow pace and heavy focus on exploration and storytelling could potentially feel boring to players looking for more dynamic gameplay.”
- “In addition, the game's complexity could cause some players to feel lost or frustrated, especially if they prefer a more straightforward gameplay experience.”
- “Andarilho is a strikingly mediocre indie, in which there are one and a half working mechanics, but there is no reason to use them.”

Overall, while some found the storytelling beautiful and profound, others felt that other survival games offered more engaging narratives and gameplay.
- “Andarilho presents an intriguing premise with its intricate plot and attention to visual detail, but it may not be everyone's cup of tea.”
- “The story was beautiful, something Shakespeare would die for.”

- “It can be said that this game has no special story or mission and you are free to do anything.”
- “The forest has better survival and other genres to satisfy your gaming palate, with cannibals, a story, and other riff-raff; Raft has a better survival and eye-candy appeal and story than this asset-flipper.”
