Bluey: The Videogame

Bluey: The Videogame is a fantastic child-friendly endeavour. What's more, it'll appeal to fans of the franchise. Accordingly, if you are looking for a challenging game, this isn't for you. However, if you want a straightforward, fun, and colourful affair, then this ticks every box.

To sum up Bluey: The Videogame would be to say that a dad had a fun time playing this game with his kids. It may have been a short experience for us totaling up to a few hours for the story and all collectibles, but they certainly had a good time. Our main feedback comes down to the length and nitpicky details like repeated dialog and camera controls when playing with multiple people. Overall I can recommend this game for families of young kids (or fans of the show I suppose) that want to get together around their Xbox together for a few hours.

The technical hiccups and the lack of interaction in Bluey: The Videogame caused our four-player team to scream “awwww” in disappointment. But it’s testament to the game’s authenticity that they often wheeled away and played with something else in the world instead. From the art to the voice-acting to the painstaking recreation of the Bluey house: it’s all exactly as it should be.

The big question I asked myself when it came to writing a review was this: Is this just a low-effort cash grab, or is it worthy of the fantastic show? I’m pleased to say, I feel they’ve landed firmly in the latter camp. The usually impeccably imparted ‘lesson’ each episode of the show delivers arrives here in the game exactly where it should be, heart and warmth intact.

With the source material being so well known for its quality, it’s a shame Bluey: The Videogame is nowhere near as good in writing, gameplay, animation, or anything for that matter. Even with the target audience being young gamers or parents wanting their kids to try something they are familiar with, it’s hard to see many people finding joy here.

Wedged somewhere between Wi-Fi and The Wiggles as one of Australia’s greatest exports, Bluey has been a staggeringly successful animated series. Tens of billions of minutes of the show have been streamed into households in more than 60 countries, and the Heelers have subsequently been transformed into over 1,000 bits of merchandising tat. In an unfortunate turn of events, Bluey: The Videogame feels a lot like another forgettable piece of the latter, hovering somewhere between the countless toys and the tubes of licensed toothpaste. Low on innovation and high on what feels like contractual obligation, Bluey: The Videogame is really a low-effort mobile game masquerading as a mid-price console and PC product. It may absolutely look the part compared to the show itself, but with its assortment of shallow minigames rife with annoying bugs, frustrating controls, and a bafflingly brief runtime of a little over an hour, everywhere else it’s a dog’s breakfast.

As a huge fan of the show, I really wanted to love Bluey: The Videogame, but it ends up being a mixed bag. On the positive side, the game captures the magic of the TV series perfectly. The art style, the music, and the voice acting make you feel like you are playing through a real episode. The four-player local co-op is fantastic for families, and playing classic minigames like "Keepy Uppy" or "The Floor is Lava" with younger kids is incredibly heartwarming. It is an excellent "first video game" for toddlers.However, the game is heavily held back by its lack of content and technical issues. You can finish the entire story in just over an hour, and there is almost no replay value once you collect all the stickers. For a full-priced release, that is simply not enough. Additionally, the controls often feel clunky, the camera angles can be frustrating during multiplayer, and characters frequently glitch or get stuck in the **** is a sweet, faithful adaptation that will make toddlers happy, but adults and older gamers will find it too short, shallow, and buggy to fully justify the price tag. Worth it on a deep sale or a subscription service, but otherwise hard to fully recommend.

Bluey The Video Game is certainly a game. It is surprisingly pretty quality and faithful to the show. The gameplay is pretty barebones, and it was a bit boring and tedious, but good for kids. 6/10 C-tier

My 5-year-old found it dull and short — and that’s despite not knowing that this buggy and uninventive 1-hour experience cost us $40. I gave it one extra point for how the game somewhat decently reproduces the show’s art style. Everything else is just a disgrace: the games, stories, and adventures feel like the complete opposite of Bluey — nothing to do with the show we loved for its creativity, good humor, and kindness. A textbook example of a shameless cashgrab.

This game blows Boring,useless, and who asked for a bluey video game when you can just watch the dang show!
