Overall, the game successfully conveys themes of environmentalism and love, making it a worthwhile adaptation for fans of the movie.

    • “A uniquely invigorating gaming experience with an exciting story and excellent characters, even fleshing out the backstory of previously unknown characters such as Umbrellabot; this game has it all.”
    • “I was surprised to find that it hit all the major story beats of the movie and does it justice.”
    • “This game right here tells a beautiful story that follows a great movie, and the one moral I take away from this game is that I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords and hope you guys do too.”
    • “Also, like any video game adaptation, they change the story so much it's barely recognizable.”
    • “I'm usually easy to please and while the gameplay for this is a little bit novel, the graphics are weak, the story is lame, and the UI is atrociously designed.”
    • “Whilst the story is a bit rushed in the cutscenes in-game and it doesn't exactly match the movie it's based off of, this game is amazing not only for the fact that it's not shovelware, and that it plays extremely well.”

    • “The graphics were so bad I wasn't sure if one of the richest corporations on the planet made this, or if it was a joke by someone pretending to be Disney.”
