PC Critic Reviews

Blueberry is an experience that made me think about my own road to recovery, and how seeking help completely changed my life for the better. I love the constant symbolism throughout that hints at bigger issues, but lets the player decide for themselves what their implications are. Blueberry very much advocates for people to seek help if they are suffering with their past, and it’s admirable how they depict the journey as one that isn’t linear, isn’t easy and is unique to every single person. The one big issue I had with the game is the lack of reflection once the game has finished. Your choices matter, and I believe the majority of players would benefit from an explanation after the credits roll. Blueberry is a game for anyone who has, is, or wants to embark on a mental health journey through their trauma. The journey won’t be easy, but trust someone who has been there – it will transform your life.

Blueberry is a movie-length, story-platformer that unpacks a whole lot of relatable intergenerational trauma across one lifetime.
