The gameplay of Miracle Sudoku is designed to be accessible for newcomers, gradually introducing mechanics through simpler puzzles. However, some users feel that the unique "miracle" mechanic does not significantly enhance the traditional sudoku experience to justify its cost, suggesting that free alternatives may be available. Additionally, players familiar with specific notation styles can customize their experience through the options menu.
- “Even if you’re new to Sudoku or intimidated by the idea of extra rules, Miracle Sudoku eases you in with simpler puzzles that gradually introduce the mechanics, ensuring anyone can enjoy the experience.”
- “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 out of place and doesn't match the game's atmosphere, which detracts from the overall experience.”

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, users recommend enabling the "battery saver" option to mitigate rapid battery drain, noting that 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.”
