The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for their low quality, featuring a mix of retro pixel art and amateurish MS Paint-style textures that detract from the overall experience. While the art style may initially seem charming, it ultimately feels poorly executed and lacks the polish expected in contemporary games. Despite options to adjust resolution, these do little to enhance the simplistic visuals, leaving players with a lackluster graphical experience.
“The artwork here is terrible; it's a blend of old retro pixel art used as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics, and some of the most amateurish MS Paint style textures I've ever seen.”
“It's unclear if this is due to a lack of budget to hire someone who can do graphics properly, or a lack of talent. Regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result of these decisions.”
“While there are options to change the resolution for the mobile app, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the mobile app, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”

The story conveys a powerful message about resilience and the unpredictability of life, emphasizing that perseverance in the face of adversity can lead to unexpected and rewarding outcomes.
“The moral of the story is that you never know what life has in store for you. If I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”

The monetization of Galactic Landing has been criticized as a cash grab, with users labeling it an abandoned mobile app poorly repackaged for Steam. Reviewers highlight its lack of originality, describing it as a lazy imitation of the classic Lunar Lander, suggesting that the developers prioritize profit over quality.
“Galactic Landing is an abandoned early access mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it were a real PC game. It's a cash grab from greedy mobile developers. The game is an unabashed, lazy ripoff of Lunar Lander (copyright Atari, 1979).”
