The graphics are widely praised for their beauty and immersive comic book style, enhancing the overall experience of the game.

The combination of stunning artwork and engaging audio elements, including voice acting, contributes to a fun and cohesive atmosphere.
“Beautiful graphics, average performance, awesome audio stories, great voice acting.”
“Visuals excellent, fun feel, immersive, some exploration potential and not totally canned.”
“Be Tarzan in an awesome comic graphic jungle! You'll swing, swim, climb, and fight many bad men to save Jane. Great fun! Love the cohesion of using comic-style characters along with audio bits from the 50's radio show!”

The story is criticized for being overly linear and short, with some players completing it in under 20 minutes, leaving little room for exploration. Additionally, a mandatory climbing section tied to the story is described as clunky and uninspired, detracting from the overall experience.
“(I honestly thought I had found a hidden secret area one time, and it turns out it was just the way I needed to go to continue the story.)”
“But the story released first (#1) was beaten in less than 20 minutes and was so, so linear; there was no exploratory part to the story.”

The game features beautiful graphics and impressive audio, but performance is described as average. When optimized with settings like 4xMSAA and a render scale of 1.0, it achieves high image quality, showcasing its visual potential.
“Performance and image quality are great with the index - 4x MSAA, render scale 1.0, and all other settings maxed make the game look close to the best it can.”
