The graphics of the game are generally considered mediocre, with some reviewers noting a significant improvement over previous titles like "The Last of Us 1" on PC at launch. However, many find the visuals simplistic and reminiscent of retro games, making it difficult to distinguish elements within the game. Overall, while the artwork has inspired a generation, the graphical execution leaves much to be desired.
- “A cult classic; this artwork inspired a generation.”
- “Its artwork inspires you to imagine what a real snake may look like in its place.”
- “Graphics are terrible, but to be honest, what did I expect.”
- “Basically, the whole 1€ game consists of a blue snake on a green field, chasing red pomegranates and sometimes white flowers (or biscuits or I don't know what, the graphics are so Commodore 64 that I can't distinguish anything).”
- “Pretty mediocre game that takes too long to give you all achievements, but at least it has better graphics than TLOU 1 for PC on launch.”

- “Holy shit, this game is awesome! At first, it looks like it's just a nice classic game where you eat apples and earn points, and to a degree it is, but there's actually an underlying story.”
