The graphics in Endless Ski are described as average and not significantly improved over its predecessor, SkiFree, despite utilizing the Unreal Engine. Reviewers note a lack of visual variety and detail, leading to disappointment and a general consensus that the graphics do not meet expectations for a modern game.
“The graphics really aren't exceptional, but I'm not sure what people expect to see on SkiFree.”
“There's a possibility that some of the assets are flipped here, but there's so little to the game visuals that it's hard to say. However, the lack of visual content is a problem in itself, which is why this game isn't getting a thumbs up from me.”
