Despite the models being sometimes okay, other times they look bad and the shaders do not look the best.”

The music in the game has been criticized for undermining the original themes of "Trolls: World Tour," with players feeling that the narrative contradicts the established character motivations and moral lessons. This dissonance has left some users frustrated, particularly regarding the portrayal of characters and their relationships to music. Overall, the music aspect seems to detract from the intended message of the source material.
- “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.”
