The graphics in "bright tracer" are generally well-received, showcasing decent visuals made possible by Unreal Engine, which enhances the game's appeal. However, despite the good graphics, the overall experience is marred by performance issues and shallow gameplay, highlighting that impressive visuals alone are insufficient for a compelling game.

- “And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics.”
- “Bright Tracer is a weird little tech demo of a game, a basic endless runner/speedrunner/3D platformer with some okay-looking graphics (thanks to Unreal), some polish and performance problems, and some pretty shallow gameplay.”

- “Bright Tracer is a weird little tech demo of a game, a basic endless runner/speedrunner/3D platformer with some okay-looking graphics (thanks to Unreal), but it suffers from polish and performance problems, along with pretty shallow gameplay.”
- “For the low price of free, I will try not to totally criticize the game's performance, but it's awful at times. It's a nice proof of concept for a 3D Sonic-style runner.”
