The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for their outdated and simplistic design, resembling titles from the late 90s or early 2000s despite being developed in 2017 using the Unity engine. Reviewers noted issues such as graphics errors, poor art design, and a lack of music, leading to an overall perception of cheap or low-quality visuals. While some players found the simple visuals acceptable for gameplay, the general consensus leans towards disappointment in the graphical presentation.

The game is priced at $20, which users appreciate for eliminating ads and tracking commonly found in free versions. However, some players feel that the game's quality does not justify the cost, especially when compared to other solitaire games that offer better features for free or with minimal ads. Overall, the lack of ads is a significant positive aspect for many users.
“What sold it for me was the 90's look and feel and that it has no ads or tracking that comes with the free ones that are around.”
“The $20 price tag at least means that the game works and has no ads unlike Windows 10 Solitaire.”
“+ no ads!”
“This is the worst solitaire game I've played in a long time, and that's including mobile versions with ads.”
“I hate ads in-game!”
“It'll look better, play better, and it won't cost you anything unless you want to pay to get rid of the ads.”
