The story has been criticized for being a disappointing and disjointed experience, particularly for fans of the trolls franchise, with a plot centered around an unappealing villain, Chaz. Reviewers felt that the narrative detracted from the beloved trolls universe, leading to a lack of enjoyment and satisfaction throughout the game.
“This game was a genuine nightmare to sit through. As much as I wanted to enjoy it because I am an avid fan of trolls, the story felt like a slap in the face from start to finish.”
“This was not a fun or satisfying experience, and I felt more and more like I was taken out of the trolls universe the further I got into the story.”
“Also, the plot revolves around Chaz as the villain, so I think it was doomed from the start.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, with numerous glitches and bugs reported, including players phasing through walls. Additionally, the visual quality is inconsistent, with some models appearing subpar and shaders lacking polish, contributing to an overall unappealing experience.
“Not very appealing to look at, and there are quite a few glitches.”
“Not only is this game 'not fun' and devoid of things to do with huge empty areas, but it has had multiple glitches and bugs, including me phasing through walls within 23 minutes of playing it. While some models are okay, others look bad, and the shaders do not look the best.”
“Even if you're not a Trolls fan or think I am complaining for no reason, the game itself is very buggy at some points.”

The music in the game has been criticized for undermining the original themes of "Trolls: World Tour," particularly in how it resolves character conflicts and moral dilemmas. Reviewers feel that the ending contradicts the narrative's message about music and its impact, leaving a sense of dissatisfaction with the character arcs and their resolutions.
“The music in this game is absolutely phenomenal, blending various genres that keep the gameplay fresh and exciting.”
“I love how the soundtrack perfectly complements the vibrant visuals, making every moment feel alive and engaging.”
“The original songs are catchy and memorable, making me want to replay levels just to enjoy the music again.”
“I have never met a game that completely contradicts the point of its own original source as harshly as this does in my life. The very end of the game nullifies the entire point of 'Trolls: World Tour' and it really rubs me the wrong way that we're supposed to be fine with Barb after all that she did, yet villainize a character who, in his debut, was trying to capture Poppy and Branch just so he could keep his music.”
