The story in "Last Knight" is generally considered weak and not central to the gameplay, serving primarily as a comedic backdrop to the action. While players can engage with a story mode that offers different perspectives and quests, many find the humor unfunny and the narrative uninspired, leading to a repetitive experience. However, the game compensates with various modes, unlockables, and challenges that keep players entertained beyond the story itself.
- “The game has beautiful artwork style, outstanding graphics, interactive story, great gameplay, unlockables, customizations, secrets, achievements, trading cards, stats, controller support, and it also works beautifully on a keyboard and mouse, so it's got everything.”
- “The story mode only took me about two hours to get through, but it had some amusing points to it even though it's your normal save the kingdom type of line.”
- “The game features a humor-filled story, an endless mode, and a new 'rogue rider' mode, unlockables (characters, skills, upgrades), character customization, quests, oh and did I mention hats!?”
- “On the downside, it doesn't have much depth and it's kind of recycling itself; the story is boring, uninspired, and even kitschy at some moments.”
- “The story menu and interruptions are annoying.”
- “The story mode only took me about two hours to get through, but it had some amusing points to it even though it's your normal save-the-kingdom type of storyline.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the vibrant art style and polished visuals, particularly in character design and environmental details. However, some users note issues with performance, such as lag on mid-level devices, and criticize certain models as unattractive. Overall, while the graphics are generally considered appealing and well-executed, they are sometimes overshadowed by gameplay concerns and technical problems.
- “The graphics are the best in the runner genre.”
- “I absolutely love the jousting platformer concept and I think the vibrant cartoonish graphics were a great stylistic choice that suit the game very well.”
- “Fantastic visuals are the first to sell this idea, with noticeably higher production values than you see in most games of the genre, with tons of color and visual effects making for an impressive display that really makes you feel they're onto something.”
- “Basically, the idea behind them is pretty stupid: they are supposed to be a hard version of whatever world you're currently in, but the entire difficulty stems from the game intentionally messing with the visuals in a 'oh god I'm high as heck' kind of way, which is a really cheap and unfair way of making a game more difficult.”
- “Trashy graphics and ultimately boring overall...”
- “Tried the rogue rider mode and with all the graphics down I think there were maybe 4 triangles on the map selection screen, which wiggled wildly, and even then it still barely ran.”
