The game's story, while decent and inspired by the movie, feels rushed and lacks depth, primarily featuring Ryder as the only vocal character. Players appreciate the unique plot twist involving Mayor Humdinger, but many express a desire for more exploration and character interaction.

- “Toddlers love it because it's Paw Patrol, but otherwise, it seems rushed in graphics and story, and the only character who says anything is Ryder.”
