- Many puzzles are not true 'miracle' Sudoku, as the majority are simply non-consecutive variants, which may disappoint fans expecting more of the advertised content.

- The game lacks background music and has performance issues, causing high CPU usage and potential overheating on some devices.

The graphics in the game are praised for their beautiful and glorious aesthetic, particularly in the context of the unique rule sets for each sudoku puzzle. However, players are advised to enable the "battery saver" option to mitigate rapid battery drain, as it does not significantly alter the visual quality.
“The aesthetic is beautiful and glorious in this iteration of sudoku puzzles, and the fact that every puzzle has a unique rule set is something I absolutely love.”
“I recommend turning the 'battery saver' graphics option on almost immediately, as it doesn't change the visuals that much, but when it's turned on, the battery drains very quickly on my laptop.”

The gameplay of the game features a "miracle" mechanic that some users feel does not justify the price, suggesting that free alternatives may offer similar experiences. Additionally, players can customize their experience by enabling combined corner and center notation, enhancing usability for those familiar with the Cracking the Cryptic web app.
“A few words of advice: if you're used to the combined corner and center notation of the Cracking the Cryptic web app, you can enable it in the options under Gameplay > Next.”
“The whole 'miracle' mechanic really doesn't add enough to Sudoku to warrant the price, and I wouldn't be surprised if you could find free versions of miracle Sudoku anyway.”
“If you're used to the combined corner and center notation of the Cracking the Cryptic web app, you can enable it in the options under gameplay > next.”

The music aspect of the game has been criticized for the absence of background music, leaving players to either play in silence or provide their own soundtrack.
“There's not even background music, so you're going to have to provide your own when playing unless you want to sit in silence.”
“The music is repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged during gameplay.”
“The soundtrack feels uninspired and doesn't match the game's atmosphere, which detracts from the overall experience.”
