Reviewers highlight a significant issue with many games featuring poor graphics, often attributed to a lack of talent in game development and art design. While some games may have an interesting art style, the overall quality of graphics remains a common point of criticism, suggesting that developers should focus on improving visual presentation rather than relying on simplistic or low-quality designs.
- “The art style is interesting.”
- “It also happens to be easy, and doesn't require any proper talent in terms of game development or graphic artists. That's why reviewers are faced with so many of these terrible games with confrontingly bad graphics.”
- “Developers must learn that Minecraft succeeded despite the bad graphics, not because of them.”

- “A lot of amateur developers see Minecraft's success and assume it's because it looks bad, not because it had unique and appealing game mechanics, and they try to emulate the success without understanding it.”
