The story of "Totally Spies - Cyber Mission" is simple and linear, set in Singapore and loosely based on episodes from the show's seventh season, which may leave players unfamiliar with the series feeling lost due to minimal backstory. While the missions are engaging and encourage replayability through different difficulty settings and character utilization, the requirement to control each spy individually can be tedious for solo players. Overall, the narrative provides a fun, episodic experience, though it may not fully satisfy those seeking a deeper storyline.
“Cyber Mission is based on the newest season of the show, meaning it's set in Singapore and introduces a few new supporting characters.”
“The missions are loosely based on episodes from season 7 and are structured in a way that makes it feel like you're playing an episode.”
“To be honest, I was expecting a game with a quite worse story and niche gameplay, but actually - it's not that bad!”
“It's simple and a little clunky, but the missions are engaging and there's a good amount of replay value since you can go back through to collect missed items and there's a difficult setting for each level.”
“Story-wise, the game does seem to assume you've seen season 7 because there's hardly any backstory.”
“The game opens with the spies already in Singapore, getting thrown into their first mission briefing.”

The gameplay is generally smooth and offers some enjoyable variation through unique gadgets for each character, enhancing the experience beyond initial expectations. However, players desire more interaction between the characters and feel that a catch-up mechanic involving checkpoints is underutilized. Overall, while the gameplay is satisfactory, there is room for improvement in character dynamics and mechanics.
“To be honest, I was expecting a game with a much worse story and niche gameplay, but actually - it's not that bad!”
“Plus, each spy has unique gadgets, unlike the show where all three get the full set, but I personally like it for the gameplay variation.”
“There is a special type of checkpoint that warps all three girls to the same spot as a sort of catch-up mechanic, but it feels very underutilized.”
“The gameplay lacks depth and often feels repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“The controls are clunky and unresponsive, which detracts from the overall experience.”

The music in the game is praised as fantastic and in line with the series' expectations, but the sound design is criticized for being weak, particularly due to the lack of a separate volume slider for voiceovers, which can sometimes be overshadowed by sound effects.
“The music is fantastic and what you'd expect from the series.”
