The same can be said about the sound design. It runs pretty poorly when you’re in an open world setting, but skyrockets to a surprisingly stable 60fps whenever you find a portal and start exploring a more linear course. The framerate is also all over the place. It features similarly underwhelming character models and assets, but without that extra layer of cel shading that manages to make even the ugliest of games a bit more pleasing to the eyes. The only thing I managed to understand was a villain doing some sort of magic in order to make Ben lose the power of transforming into his ten alien forms, so it’s up to you to find a way to revert this curse and save the day, or something like that.īen 10: Power Trip manages to look less appealing than its already visually underwhelming predecessor. I have no freaking idea of what’s going on.

Apparently, you’re in some weird European location where mayors speak German, trees look like Californian redwoods, cars drive on the left side of the road, but park rangers speak with the most obvious Australian accent this side of Mad Max. The initial cutscene does a pretty bad job at explaining the game’s setting and the reason why you’re there. It doesn’t take long until you notice some massive issues with this game upon starting a new save file.

All I know is that the end product feels janky and somewhat unpolished.ĭon’t mind me, just a regular fire-spitting alien passing through… I don’t know if they faced budget issues, time constraints, or both. Sadly, for as much as I wanted to like this pitch and for as noble as their intentions were, Ben 10: Power Trip feels massively undercooked. They tried to deliver AAA levels of scope and content, and bless them for trying. PHL Collective tried their hardest to provide players with an actual open-world Ben 10 experience, a game with an impressively big map, different missions to tackle, sidequests, hidden collectibles, multiple kinds of obstacles that need to be cleared with Ben’s different alien forms, an original story, a skill tree, and more. If anything, Ben 10: Power Trip has a bold premise.
#Ben 10 games 2017 full
This is the rare case of bad game full of really good intentions, most of them overshadow by a pretty obvious lack of budget. This isn’t a game that felt lazy, nor did it infuriate me at all. This is a different kind of bad game, however.

If you really want to buy a game based on the hit cartoon series, you should stick to the 2017 game instead. I feel like I should inform you right away that Ben 10: Power Trip is a bad game. This park ranger looks way too similar to that dude from Hello Neighbor.
