The story in the game is generally perceived as simplistic and lacking depth, primarily consisting of repetitive fetch quests and minimal narrative engagement. While some players appreciate the nostalgic elements and the cute, fashion-focused gameplay, many express disappointment over the absence of a cohesive storyline and the limited character interactions. Overall, the game feels short and underdeveloped compared to previous Bratz titles, leaving players wanting more content and complexity.
“The quests are fun and interactive, and I love the clothes and makeup options.”
“The story was very basic, but honestly a lot of Bratz stories are, and I actually liked how simple everything was because I, like a lot of people, bought the game for nostalgia - I didn't want a game with 50+ hours of gameplay that you had to grind through.”
“Bratz has never been a story-first franchise, but there was something about watching it and going through it in its past iterations that felt fun and immersive.”
“The plot is pretty non-existent, flaky, and completely half-assed; there's no real antagonist and any 'problem' is easily solved by pressing a button.”
“The story is so lackluster.”
“I don't know if I'm madder at the fact that this game has no skill, depth, or even a storyline compared to the other games; like Rock Angels had more personality, while this game has the personality of a bag of flour.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it simplistic and repetitive, lacking the depth and variety of older titles in the franchise. While some appreciate the nostalgic elements and mini-games, others criticize the limited customization options, clunky character-switching mechanics, and overall shallow experience. Overall, the game is deemed overpriced for the amount of content and gameplay it offers, with many recommending waiting for a sale before purchasing.
“I didn't exactly know what I was expecting from it as I keep away from gameplays and such, but I was pleasantly entertained playing this.”
“Simple gameplay, relaxing, good for kids.”
“There were some good elements, like the followers, and becoming an influencer mechanic, as well as the selfie photo shoot mini games were a good addition.”
“Got it on sale, probably wouldn't pay full price because of the lack of gameplay.”
“£24.99 for this game is outrageous, max 6 hours of gameplay if you're wanting to complete it 100%, but otherwise about 2 hours.”
“Horrible camera angles, and the gameplay overall I find very shallow.”

The music in the game evokes nostalgia for many players, with some appreciating the inclusion of tracks from the original Bratz discography, while others find the soundtrack repetitive and lacking in variety. Although the voice acting and character designs receive praise, the limited number of songs and the inability to switch tracks detract from the overall experience. Overall, while there are enjoyable moments, many feel the music does not live up to the standards set by previous titles in the series.
“The music in this game gives me nostalgia.”
“Good soundtrack, voice acting, fabulous fashion.”
“Along with some new originals, there is quite a bit to enjoy with their music choices.”
“The songs in this game are short and very repetitive; I had to play the game on mute because it was starting to annoy me at some point.”
“The music is hilariously thrown together; there are maybe 3 or 4 songs from the original Bratz discography that play sporadically throughout the game in the most random locations, and every different location and building has one uninspired looping instrumental track.”
“There's not many, if at all, any callbacks to the older games' soundtracks.”

“It's nostalgic, nice to see a Bratz game with some updated graphics and whatnot.”
“Better animations, better graphics and bigger worlds, better side missions, citizens in the town and better voice actors.”

“Lots of graphics issues, dialogue doesn't match subtitles, and the gameplay is basically just repetitive fetch quests.”
“The graphics are fine, I don't personally care about graphics too much, but I did notice a lot of graphical errors.”

Overall, the game's replayability is mixed; while some players find it enjoyable enough for multiple playthroughs, many feel it lacks depth and content to justify repeated sessions, especially at its price point.
“Hell of a comfort game, to be honest, and has pretty good replay value.”
“I guess they were aiming to increase replayability, but it would need more than that to keep players interested.”
“I feel like there is a lot to be desired in this game and it doesn't have a lot of replay value.”
“If this game was $20 then it'd be worth it, but $40 is too much for the very little gameplay and replay value it has.”
