The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized as a blatant cash grab, particularly targeting children with excessive and overpriced microtransactions. Many players express frustration over the necessity of in-game purchases to progress, labeling the game as "pay-to-win" and highlighting the lack of transparency regarding costs. Overall, the presence of microtransactions detracts from the gaming experience, leading to calls for better regulation and warnings for parents.
“It did have microtransactions, but I completed the main world without spending a penny.”
“Microtransactions are there and overpriced, but also completely unnecessary.”
“Standard free-to-play monetization; you can pay for characters (for multiplayer), power-ups, and lives.”
“A game that is clearly aimed at children should not be filled to the brim with microtransactions designed to milk every last penny.”
“All in all, it feels like little more than the 'house of mouse' making a little cash grab and tainting the Frozen franchise to do it.”
“But there is an excessive amount of microtransactions and I cannot recommend it because of that.”

The music in the game has received largely negative feedback, with many players expressing disappointment over the lack of recognizable songs from the original film and the repetitive nature of the soundtrack. While some appreciate the pleasantness of the music initially, it quickly becomes monotonous, leading many to mute it entirely. Overall, the soundtrack fails to capture the magic of the movie, leaving players wanting more engaging and thematic audio options.
“Beautiful graphics and music make that game awesome, so 10/10 in that genre.”
“The amazing orchestral soundtrack is another plus to this already truly beautiful game, as the melody provides a mellifluous, enthralling sound to help the player feel as if he/she is playing in the soft powdery snow.”
“It's addicting and charming, also the music is as beautiful as the graphics and the character art and models.”
“Often times I mute the game entirely, despite the good sound effects, simply because I can't stand the awful music choice.”
“Same loop of music for the whole game, not even from Frozen.”
“The music is a tad lacking; while it's not bad, it doesn't really capture the atmosphere of the movie or the spirit of its original soundtrack.”

The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players praising its depth, immersive narrative, and character development, often comparing it favorably to the original movie. Others criticize the lack of a substantial storyline, claiming it merely follows the film's plot without adding meaningful content.

“The story is so immersive, and the voice acting is beyond god-level.”
“This game's story is interesting; let me just tell you this, you won't believe the ending. The world is creative and fun to explore, the characters are super in-depth and good, they all have conflicts and flaws which makes them seem more realistic.”
“Though there isn't really a story, the level progression basically follows the film in allowing which characters to use for certain levels.”
“It's boring, they couldn't even bother adding anything to it, no story, not even a shallow one.”
“There's no story, there's in-game purchases, and the game practically plays itself.”

“The jokes fall flat and feel forced, making the humor more cringeworthy than entertaining.”
