The graphics in the game are generally praised for their high quality and appeal, contributing positively to the overall visual experience. However, some users noted issues like graphics smearing, which detracts from the visual quality, and emphasized that impressive visuals alone are not enough to compensate for shortcomings in gameplay.
- “The graphics in this game are really quite good, which at least makes the game look more appealing.”
- “Graphics and asset quality are top notch, and there's a mini golf game; it's better than most any other VR thing with 'moon' or 'lunar' in the title.”
- “And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics.”

- “It just says mission success and ends... what the heck... I paid for that?!”
- “What I do know for sure is there are far better Apollo mission VR experiences out there, and there simply isn’t enough content to justify the £7.19 asking price.”
