WTMG's Leo Faria: "The developers behind Ben 10: Power Trip sure tried coming up with an ambitious open world adventure for the young ones to enjoy, but they sadly missed the mark. Be it due to budget issues or time constraints, everything in this game feels rushed and half-baked. The visuals and sound design are really poor, the framerate is janky, and while there’s quite a lot of things to do in the game, nothing is particularly hard or interesting. If you really want to buy your kid a Ben 10 game this year, just stick to the 2017 beat ’em up. Even though it’s not exactly a masterpiece, it’s certainly more enjoyable than Power Trip."
The Humble Family Game Night Bundle just launched. It has ten games including Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, Ben 10: Power Trip, and more. As always, a percentage supports charity.
CCG writes - "Ben Tennyson is on a European vacation with his grandfather, Max, and cousin, Gwen. A true hero can never relax, and that’s what happens to Ben as he’s called into action to stop Hex from activating four power crystals for nefarious purposes. Hex is a powerful wizard and buys himself some time by casting Ben’s alien helpers into void realms. In order to defeat Hex, Ben must locate and transform into his alien counterparts."
Dave writes: "Recommending Ben 10: Power Trip on the Xbox One is difficult, because everything comes with an asterisk. It’s a refreshing difference from your traditional licenced kids’ game, as it attempts an open world BUT that open world is lacking in content and interest. It can be explored cooperatively BUT only if you stay joined at the hip. The platforming and combat are fun BUT you’ll have to fight the camera while you do it. If you’re desperate for a Ben 10 experience on Xbox One then it might be enough to scrub out those asterisks and give it a go."
