Played as 2 adults who are fans of the show, so I can't speak for its quality for the target audience. However, it's still a silly good time for the fans of Bluey, with a lot of great nods to the show. It's barebones, but it's cute and short. Still, some of the charm of the show is missing in the game.
Is just a very good platformer. Very satisfying controls, a faithful remaster of a still fantastic game.
Eh? Not as good as Thornton Hall. Ultimately, the puzzles are still really solid and if you just want a puzzle game, then there's enjoyment to be had. However, the story is super lacking. It doesn't really go anywhere, there are no satisfying twists and we found most the characters pretty dull. Ultimately, I feel there are a lot games that do what The Silent Spy does better.
So full of innovation, a great take on what has been steadily growing into a repetitive and dull franchise. Wonder has some truly amazing level design and some really great controls. It's let down by a lack of any real story, which would have been appreciated, and a very clunky co-op experience where some levels feel genuinely impossible to do in co-op.

Another hidden gem that people didn't talk about enough. This game is such a love letter to PS1/N64 platformers and it oozes love. It's charming, it's colourful, it's silly and it controls wonderfully. All the charm of retro with the ease of modern games. It has some confusing elements here and there, but overall very worth playing.

We didn't expect to enjoy this as much as we did! Thought it would be aged and clunky, but it holds up so well! The end scoring is a bit garbage, we 100%ed the game but still wound up with a bad ending because we didn't understand the criteria, but we still had a blast!

Probably the best iteration of the KH formula, with a great mix of challenge and really enjoyable stupidity in the story. I still prefer KH1, but this is a really really close second.

Finished off stream. Full of love for JSR and a real love letter to those games. Most of the movement is really great, and the aesthetic/vibes the game exudes is super great. However, the game gets a tad repetitive and in the later levels, sometimes the gameplay can be more frustrating than fun. Still a good time though!

Another great silly co-op game. Frustrating to control, yes, but overall just a great time. Watching the lil penguins slap into walls when you fall is very nice.
This game holds up surprisingly well. A silly GTA knock-off with a Simpsons coat of paint and it's executed wonderfully. Only issue is that some of the missions are more frustrating than fun, but it's really playable. Never forget, we had to use the word dickety because the Kaiser had stolen our word 20.

The best Pikmin game. It's colourful, it's fun, it's lovely. It takes everything great about previous Pikmin games and blends them into the perfect Pikmin experience. Great for newcomers and franchise veterans.

A clunky mess with some promise. The game is very short, to its detriment. While there's some glimmer of hope in the combat system, the devs never go anywhere with it. Instead of ever upgrading your kit, or creating interesting challenges with the existing kit, difficulty ramps by just adding more dudes. In a game with a combat emphasising 1v1 fights, swarming the player is more frustrating than fun. It makes the best strategy to just run circles around arenas until one enemy is isolated enough to defeat. Unfun.

We thought this game would be a bit mid, a little silly but ultimately pretty dull. However, this game is actually really solid and holds up really well! It's funny, it's fun to play and it's silly. If you haven't played it, it's worth giving a go!

More people should talk about how great Cassette Beasts is. Pokemon Company can't make a good Pokemon game at the moment, but we have indies filling in their shoes. This game is creative, it's funny and it's so very playable.
It's not perfect, but it's incredibly enjoyable. The world is great, the story has really genuinely engaging moments and the world looks so great and is a wonder to wander around. There's nothing we can add to the conversation, TOTK is a phenomenal game.
