I don't like this more than other games. It's so bad with no cooperation and bad designs of 3d objects.

Would not recommend it unless you're a baby


1/10

Para crianças esse jogo deve ser perfeito, mas pra mim o jogo parecia estar meio incompleto, ao menos na versão do app do XBOX (joguei pelo GamePass) havia varios problemas de mixagem como por exemplo audios mais altos que outros, as vezes abafados e as vezes eram simplesmente cortados, não tem o mesmo nivel de qualidade que um episodio da serie tem, varios momentos o jogo reutilza o mesmo audio o que acaba ficando enjoativo, a trilha sonora é boazinha e a arte está bem semelhante ao do desenho, porem as texturas parecem meio borradas/pixelizadas o que não é muito agradavel, no final é um jogo interessante, mas pelo preço dele deveria ser bem melhor (e maior).

Is it fair for me, a man in his mid 20's, to be judging Bluey: The Videogame, a game made for three year olds?

Is it fair for me to point out how annoying the controls are, how buggy the game is, and how much of a cash grab it feels like when the target audience of three year olds probably won't even care?

Is it fair for me to say that the game is just bad even though I'm not a three year old?

I don't know.

But what I can say with a decent level of confidence is that if I was a three year old, I'd absolutely hate this game, particularly because of how poorly conveyed everything is. There were multiple times I had to look up a guide to even figure out what to freaking do in this game for three year olds!

Please, do not bother with this game.
Not as a meme.
Not as a Bluey fan.
Not even as a parent.

Play any other game for kids, you'll have a way better time in every single way. This game is only good for a few laughs at its expense and nothing else. After that, you become the joke.

Hatte mich legitim so ein biiisschen darauf gefreut, es dann aber sein gelassen, als ich den Pricetag und die Meinung sah, dass es nichts von dem Charme der Serie einfängt.

Jetzt hab ich es im Game Pass gespielt und es ist... fine. Die Animationen sind gut, außer wenn sie es mal nicht sind. Das Voice Acting ist super, außer wenn Mixing und Timing mal wieder komplett off sind und ansonsten macht man hier nicht viel.

Das hier ist ein Spiel für Kinder, für ganz ganz kleine Kinder, die maximal mit ihren jungen Eltern die jünger als ich sind zusammen das Haus erkunden wollen. Und dafür ist es okay, aber man hätte man auch viel viel mehr rausholen können.

Einfach die Tatsache, dass man jederzeit Ball spielen kann, oder sich jagen kann, oder Dinge aufheben und werfen kann, ist etwas, was so die Kinderspiele aus /meiner/ Zeit, nicht hatten. Dabei Orte erkunden und Kostüme finden die man vielleicht im Fernsehen gesehen hat, dabei nicht nur die beiden Schwestern, sondern auch die Eltern spielen zu können, Referenzen an Folgen der Show zu sehen und Charaktere wiederzutreffen; alles fine stuff.

Aber eben auch leider sehr sehr billig und ohne diese extra Note care und Rücksicht auf Erwachsene die zumindest die Serie so besonders macht.


...quasi bin ich grad ein Brony was sich darüber beschwert, wieso das Spielzeug für kleine Mädchen ist

Listen, if your kid doesn’t know about this game, leave them in their blissful ignorance. If they insist on trying it, they will probably have some fun. But also be really confused as to why they cannot do what is asked of them all of a sudden (it’s weird, or glitched, or the platforming is total ass so they can’t lock in how it works).

So they’ll enjoy it, but also become sad because all of a sudden the game seems to hate them. And as the adult joining the play through, you’ll be consistently disappointed at how low quality and effort the whole thing is.

I knew this wasn't going to be great, but I decided to check it out anyway because I love the show. (I borrowed it from a library, though - I thankfully didn't pay $40 for it.)

The first half of the game tells a story, and it's like a very long episode of Bluey. However, it lacks the charm, humor, and intelligence of the show. The dialogue is stiff and awkwardly timed, and characters' mouths are a lower resolution than the rest of their bodies. The line delivery is also pretty bad. It's like everything was a first take. It seems like some lines are even ripped from the show and stitched together to make new sentences, like a YouTube Poop.

The gameplay in this first half is very easy and never lets go of the player's hand. The characters will tell you something like "maybe if we move this box, we can get up there and get that thing". Then, there will be an arrow showing you exactly where to move the box. Yes, I know this is for kids, but kids aren't stupid. When I was in Bluey's target demographic, I was playing Crash Bandicoot and Legend of Zelda.

The story also has some holes and nonsensical things in it (why does Chattermax want to eat real food?), and Bluey's dad flat-out explains the lesson at the end. The show is much more subtle.

After that hour-long iffy story mode, I was ready to give the game a 3 or a 4, but then I decided to play the second half of the game. This part lets you explore familiar locations in the Bluey world and look for collectibles. I enjoyed this part a lot more than I expected to. It gives you freedom to move around instead of shuffling you along to the next cutscene.

And the best part? Nobody is talking. (Except for the lines you hear every time you collect something, but if I were thinking, I could have turned off voices in the settings. "Wow, so pretty!" Bluey says as she picks up a newspaper.) It's just you and some lovely background music from the show. I found it very relaxing.

It's very obvious that the developers were rushing to get this game out before a Christmas deadline. I think they do really care about this world, and there are lots of references to the show. They could have made something a lot more polished and robust if they were able to take their time.

I am absolutely a huge fan of the show, and while I wasn't exactly expecting gold, I was really hoping all the reviews of this game exaggerated the bargain bin qualities of the game. They were not. It absolutely feels like one of those walmart games you'd pull from a bin for like five dollars, like it was made solely because some money man somewhere figured a Bluey game would sell well. It was absolutely handed off to a development company that was not provided the time or resources to do anything worthwhile. Literally the only positive I have to say about the game is that it is able to somewhat emulate the look of the characters, albeit a soulless and empty feel about them. The environments are also faithfully recreated in a 3D style and it does seem as though there was a bit of passion behind it, but I suppose I can't know if that's the truth or not.
