The game's story aspect is a mixed bag, with players enjoying the nostalgic missions based on beloved franchises like The Incredibles and Toy Story, while also noting issues such as repetitive gameplay and bugs that hinder progress. While some playsets, like Toy Story and Pirates of the Caribbean, are praised for their engaging narratives and character variety, others, like Monsters University, are criticized for being dull and overly reliant on side quests. Overall, the story modes provide a fun experience, but many players feel they could benefit from more depth and less grind.
- “The fact that all the characters are playable in all contexts allows for endless gameplay and story combinations.”
- “Story progression is rather straightforward, with most telling their own tale, a detail to hook those who have already seen the movies these come from, while keeping the music from each one.”
- “The variety of the play sets is also a nice touch, jumping from the Incredibles super city to the Lone Ranger's old west, from Toy Story's Star Command to Monsters University campuses.”
- “The problem is this world/story is very dull and boring and getting from place to place and doing things here seems like much more of a chore than having any fun.”
- “Forgettable story, forgettable gameplay (shoot shoot shoot) and beyond boring side quests.”
- “You start by expanding your settlement and collecting dozens of different boxes, which contain the buildings, then you plug up a volcano and then you study some goo and then the game just fizzles out and throws side quest after side quest at you without an apparent end.”

- “I think the art style is fun, the environments are really well done, and I like the overall gameplay.”
- “Side note, you're probably going to be alt-tabbing a bunch to escape the painful visuals, and I don't blame you.”
- “I don't know why the game by default would set graphics to integrated for NVIDIA users.”
- “I actually first thought this game was optimized horribly since it had terrible performance and graphics on my machine, which should have had absolutely no issue with it.”

The humor in the game is widely praised, with players finding it both hilarious and entertaining, often comparing its comedic elements to those found in Roblox. The presence of funny glitches, amusing weapons like one-shot flintlock pistols, and comical vehicle features contribute to a lighthearted and enjoyable gameplay experience. Overall, the humor enhances the fun factor, making it a standout aspect of the game.
- “The game that started the best Disney game series ever made by mankind. Seriously, this game is hilariously good! It feels more like Roblox than Minecraft. My only complaint is that you can't use a controller to edit the toy box unlike 2.0 and 3.0.”
- “The good news is, most of the funny glitches are still here, and the fun factor that makes me lose track of time when I play is intact.”
- “I do like the funny tow cable and the monster tires are just comical and perfect for this.”

The stability of the 3.0 gold edition has significantly improved compared to the 1.0 version, with users reporting smoother performance on capable hardware, despite some occasional frame drops and jitteriness during the tutorial. However, the game still suffers from bugs and lacks online or local co-op features, which detracts from the overall experience. While the fun factor remains intact, the absence of certain content and persistent glitches may be misleading for players expecting a fully polished release.
- “I don't know what changed between the 1.0 Gold Edition and the 3.0 Gold Edition, but for whatever reason, 3.0 runs great on my laptop (which has a 3060 in it, by the way), while 1.0 ran absolutely terribly.”
- “There are some occasional frame drops and jitteriness in the tutorial/intro, but other than that, it runs great and plays exactly how I remember it, which is fantastic. Having the store-exclusive crystal characters is a great addition.”
- “Calling it 'Gold Edition' is misleading if half of the content/features are missing or removed, and it is plagued by bugs and glitches.”
- “Additionally, this version is buggy and lacks any sort of online play or even local co-op.”
