The graphics of the game are generally praised for their vibrant, cartoonish art style and charming animations, which enhance the overall experience. While some users noted issues with lag on certain devices, the visuals are often described as beautiful and well-integrated with gameplay mechanics, providing a sense of motion and chaos. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the game's appeal, despite some technical concerns.
“Artwork style is beautiful to look at.”
“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.”
“It's funny, the graphics are great in both landscaping and characters and the horse's face is brilliant, makes me smile.”
“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.”
“The main problem lies with how the graphics engine runs on OSX and there is no fix for that.”
“This game has pretty but not that addictive gameplay with simple and clear but not that special graphics.”

The game's story mode offers a variety of perspectives—normal, first-person, and bird's-eye view—each with unique progression and ranking systems, enhancing replayability despite the overall brevity of the narrative. While the story itself is considered uninspired and somewhat clichéd, the abundance of quests, game modes, and customization options provides ample content for players, making it an engaging experience for achievement hunters. However, the repetitive gameplay and lack of depth in the story may detract from the overall enjoyment for some players.
“What is nice is that there are 3 points-of-view to choose from for playing the story campaign: slightly behind your character (normal viewpoint), first-person perspective, and bird's-eye view (both horizontal and vertical).”
“And each perspective has its own story progression and ranking, so if you have finished the game with all gold medals on the normal viewpoint, you can go ahead and try your hand at bird's-eye view and so on.”
“On the downside, it doesn't have much depth and it's kind of recycling itself; the story is boring, uninspired, and even kitsch at some moments.”
“Even if the story mode itself is quite short, there is a ton of content and achievements to unlock, including adventure mode, endless mode with quests, power-ups, and characters, and so on.”
“The idea behind this game is simple: you are a knight on a constantly running horse, and you have to either reach the end of the level (story mode) or just survive for as long as possible (endless mode) - all while collecting coins, defeating enemies, and avoiding obstacles.”

The game is widely praised for its humor, featuring a blend of crude jokes, Monty Python-inspired wit, and amusing character animations that enhance the overall experience. Players appreciate the hidden jokes, funny load screens, and the comedic elements of ragdoll physics, making it appealing to both children and adults who enjoy lighthearted fun. Overall, the humor is a standout aspect, contributing significantly to the game's charm and entertainment value.
“However, what I didn't expect was the glorious amount of modes, crude humor, and amazing little bits of hidden jokes here and there, including load screens.”
“Another good point is the humorous characters and animations that you encounter throughout the game (check the trailer).”
“It's funny; the graphics are great in both landscaping and characters, and the horse's face is brilliant, making me smile.”

The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity and challenge, requiring players to navigate obstacles and engage in jousting with straightforward controls. While it offers various modes and customization options, the core mechanics can feel repetitive and linear, leading to mixed feelings about its overall depth and appeal, especially on PC. Despite its charming graphics and precise collision detection, some players feel it lacks the addictive quality expected from more complex platformers.
“The gameplay is simple yet challenging; move left or right to avoid objects, one button to jump and one button to use your lance to hit enemies.”
“One great point about this is that the collisions are remarkably precise; it brings a lot to the gameplay.”
“The jousting mechanic is extremely fun and is a major reason you'll keep coming back.”
“Thus, the gameplay is as simple as it gets, and the difficulty stems from whether you can react quickly enough to the obstacles in your path.”
“Well, maybe if you have kids this game would be suitable on PC, but for a more or less adult person, there is absolutely no gameplay value.”
“Last Knight has all of the right ingredients to make a fantastic game but falls short on just a few game mechanic choices.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, enhancing the overall experience with a nice soundtrack and quality sound design. However, some users find it repetitious and feel it plays a secondary role to the story and gameplay elements. Overall, while the music contributes positively, it may not stand out significantly outside of the narrative context.
“The sound design (music and FX) is of great quality too.”
“Graphic style, level themes, camera effects, slow-mo replays, and music are all great in the big picture.”
“The music is cliché, but it's okay because it's really secondary.”
“The music adds a lot to the journey.”
