The graphics in the game are generally well-received, featuring appealing medieval artwork and animations that enhance the overall experience. However, some users report issues with frame drops and a lack of options for adjusting resolution settings, which detracts from the visual quality. Overall, while the graphics are above average, they are not without their technical flaws.
- “Interesting medieval artwork scenes.”
- “Really love the graphics, animations and the way the game plays.”
- “On the other hand, the graphics are nice (there should be a setting for higher resolution, etc).”
- “One thing that annoys me is that the graphics keep on changing by itself, so I'm constantly dropping frames and there is no way to change this inside the game.”
- “[i]Solitaire Knights[/i] does not add anything new other than graphic changes, medieval music, and a bug that prevented me from putting the king of clubs from the deck into a free space.”
- “Overall, it's an okay implementation of the basic Klondike game that's free and has some above-average graphics.”

- “The deck has glitched multiple times, the empty spots are buggy as well and occasionally don't even let you put a king there.”
- “This game looks pleasing to the eye but is an unpolished bowl of crap; the glitches are everywhere, you cannot properly move the cards. Do not download this game!”

The game is praised for its lack of ads, making it a preferable option compared to other free solitaire games that are heavily ad-ridden.

- “At the very least, there are no advertisements unlike the mobile equivalents you can find on smartphones.”

- “At the very least, there are no advertisements unlike the mobile equivalent you can find on smartphones.”
- “At least it doesn't have ads, so it's probably still better than Microsoft Solitaire (but it's only Klondike).”
