  • The game offers an open-world experience that allows for exploration and various side missions, making it enjoyable for fans of the franchise.
  • The character designs and voice acting are faithful to the animated series, providing a nostalgic experience for longtime fans.
  • Despite its flaws, the game can be fun, especially for younger players, and has moments of engaging gameplay with unique alien transformations.
  • The game features only 6 aliens instead of the expected 10, leading to repetitive gameplay and a lack of variety in combat and abilities.
  • Many players have reported significant bugs and technical issues, including problems with resolution, save files, and mission glitches, which detract from the overall experience.
  • The story and missions are often criticized for being basic and uninspired, with many quests feeling like fetch tasks rather than engaging challenges.
  • story
    64 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it basic and repetitive, often reduced to fetch quests that lack depth and coherence. While some appreciate the humor and charm of the Ben 10 franchise, others criticize the short length and limited engagement of the narrative, feeling that it fails to utilize key characters effectively. Overall, the story is seen as a missed opportunity, with calls for more complexity and variety in future installments.

    • “The storyline is engaging and filled with the humor and wit that fans have come to love from the Ben 10 series.”
    • “With its captivating story, beautiful visuals, and engaging gameplay, it's clear that the developers poured their passion into creating a game that pays homage to the beloved franchise.”
    • “I do have some complaints it only has 12 aliens, 6 for each Kevin and Ben but it's very fun, especially after you complete the game as you can explore the enormous map. The reason for Ben losing all of his aliens makes sense and the story is great for not just a Ben 10 game but as a game in general.”
    • “The story is where the game really tanks for me as the whole story's premise is that Ben's aliens are loose due to Hex and Ben needs to catch them again, but the game doesn't even use Hex in the missions to get the aliens!!??”
    • “To get to the meat and gravy of it, the missions are glorified fetch quests with missions that make absolutely no sense to the game.”
    • “The story is nothing to speak of really.”
  • graphics
    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players noting significant issues such as texture and model clipping, outdated visuals, and performance problems, particularly on the Steam Deck. While some appreciate the low-poly art style and find the visuals charming, others feel they fall short of modern gaming standards, especially for a title aimed at a younger audience. Overall, the graphics are seen as a major disappointment, detracting from the overall experience despite some enjoyment derived from gameplay.

    • “First and foremost, the graphics are stunning.”
    • “With its captivating story, beautiful visuals, and engaging gameplay, it's clear that the developers poured their passion into creating a game that pays homage to the beloved franchise.”
    • “For Ben 10 fans, they will love it. I haven't played a Ben 10 game in years; I love it! The art style is epic, the graphics are awesome, the controls are easy, and the fights are simple.”
    • “Questionable graphics and a lot of texture and model clipping; this game is a huge disappointment.”
    • “It's far below the state-of-the-art visuals gamers expect as a result of their decisions.”
    • “[graphics are subpar and a little glitchy, general lack of challenge throughout, a few particularly maddening missions]”
  • gameplay
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some praising its engaging open-world design, strategic upgrade system, and variety of character transformations that enhance the experience. However, others criticize it for being shallow, lacking challenge, and suffering from performance issues, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. While the combat mechanics and enemy variety are noted as decent, many feel the gameplay could have benefited from a higher budget and more focus on depth and originality.

    • “The upgrade system for Ben's alien forms adds a strategic element to the gameplay, making it rewarding to experiment with different abilities and combinations.”
    • “The combat mechanics are well-balanced, and the variety of enemies keeps things interesting throughout the game.”
    • “The character variety makes for some nicely varied control styles, while the open-world design allows for a strong gameplay loop centered around chasing quests.”
    • “Boring game, horribly uninspired gameplay.”
    • “I know it's for kids but there isn't actual challenge for them considering that you can't fail any of the alien parkour mechanics, the enemies are all the same and have no originality nor differentiation between each other as opposed to previous games made before it where you would come across different variations of enemy types that would require you to try more.”
    • “Also has several glaring flaws – like shallow gameplay and poor performance – that really sink its image.”
  • stability
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is plagued by numerous bugs that significantly impact gameplay, particularly when attempting to complete achievements, with specific issues like the "super ben" achievement being notably problematic. While some players find the experience bearable due to the game's charm and content, the overall stability is described as a "buggy mess," leading to frustration and the need for workarounds.

    • “The achievement 'super ben' is also buggy because the civilians you’re supposed to rescue don’t spawn properly, which makes the achievement semi-broken. I've written a solution [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/1063040/discussions/0/6597293740384119744/]here[/url] if you’d like to 100% the game.”
    • “Trying to collect all the achievements is a huge pain as it's very buggy, and I'm having to restart the game's progress just to finish the 'super ben' achievement, and it's annoying.”
    • “Has quite a bit of content and some charm put into it, despite how the combat is pretty mind-numbing and the game's insanely buggy at times.”
  • music
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising it as surprisingly good and expressing a desire for a soundtrack release, while others find it average to annoying. Additionally, the game's voice acting is noted as a strong point, enhancing the overall audio experience.

    • “Music is surprisingly good.”
    • “This game has no business having songs this good.”
    • “Music is average to annoying, and voice acting is great!”
    • “What I didn't really like about the game is it doesn't waypoint the fast travel areas, so you try to find your campervan to get from point A to point B, and if you find the campervan, you can play music you can find around the world or play with your friend who can play Kevin.”
    • “Please release the soundtrack as DLC.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the engaging story and overall design of the game, but find the grinding aspect tedious, particularly due to repetitive tasks in the open-world environment. While the game is well-crafted, the grind may deter some from completing it fully.

    • “A well put together 3D collectathon platformer let down by tedious open-world; overall good, but for me, I don't think I'll be 100% completing this one.”
    • “It's 10 tedious rounds of the same thing.”
    • “I was a bit afraid when I first played the game that it was open world, as I just got off a tedious slog of an open world with terrible design.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by engaging wit and light-hearted jokes that resonate with fans of the Ben 10 series. Players enjoy amusing features like bouncing on bushes and cars, alongside a variety of funny mini-games and challenges, contributing to an overall entertaining experience despite some repetitive combat.

    • “The storyline is engaging and filled with the humor and wit that fans have come to love from the Ben 10 series.”
    • “There are light jokes all around and some genuinely funny features (how you bounce on bushes and cars!).”
    • “There is a lot of stuff to collect, to do, combat arenas, challenges, funny mini games, and puzzle areas where your alien forms shine.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is limited, as one character, Kevin, is only available in co-op mode, which some players feel detracts from the overall experience. While the game offers infinite replayability, the lack of unique content for Kevin may hinder its appeal for solo players.

    • “The game is infinitely replayable.”
    • “Kevin is also playable, but only in co-op, which could have added to the replay value.”
    • “Kevin is also playable, but only in co-op, which is a very dumb decision if you ask me because it could’ve added replay value despite his aliens being literal carbon copies of Ben’s with different skins.”
  • character development
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate a divide in opinions on character development, with some expressing disappointment in the reboot's character designs and depth compared to the classic continuity. While the new designs are praised for their faithfulness to the animated series and the animation quality, many feel that the reboot lacks the richness and complexity of its predecessor.

    • “The character designs are faithful to the animated series, and the animation itself is smooth and well-executed.”
    • “Many people don’t like the reboot, including myself, mostly due to the character designs. Let's be real here, the classic continuity had a lot more character and depth than the reboot.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization of Ben 10: Power Trip has been criticized as a blatant cash grab, with a $30 price tag deemed excessive for a poorly executed port that fails to meet AAA standards. Reviewers feel that the game offers little value compared to other titles available at the same price point.

    • “Ben 10: Power Trip is a really bad Nintendo Switch/console port that's been dumped on Steam as a lazy cash grab.”
    • “Ben 10: Power Trip has the greedy, cash grab price of $30 USD (AAA pricing for a bargain bin reject!), for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has been criticized for significant performance issues, which detract from the overall experience, alongside shallow gameplay and unimpressive visuals. These flaws contribute to a negative perception of the game's quality.

    • “Also has several glaring flaws – like shallow gameplay and poor performance – that really sink its image.”
    • “Terrible performance problems, shallow gameplay, lame visuals.”
