I’m not asking for a fully explorable open world here, but there are only four fairly small places to explore. It isn’t just the time it takes to finish though. Considering this costs £35, that feels a little insulting. My kids finished the game in under an hour, and had found all the hidden collectibles in another hour after that, leaving little reason for them to want to play again. The thing is, it won’t take long for them to have done absolutely everything. It’s nice enough, and means it’s very accessible to younger kids who want to play. Most of your time in the game is spent walking around an environment to find a character or object so the story progresses, playing the occasional mini-game as you go. When it works, it’s nice to play together even for the short play time. I especially liked the characters dancing for idle animations. Still, though, the presentation is very nice on the whole. This is pretty noticeable when you equip one of the unlockable 3D hats to a 2D character, which feels a little off. Being in 3D does mean some things look a little odd at times, as can be the issue with 2D characters existing in a three-dimensional world. The characters look absolutely spot on, and it’s nice to be able to explore places like the Heeler’s house. It’s a good setup that fits Bluey well and even has one of those lovely heartfelt moments at the end. This means you bump into a few series favourites like Muffin and Rad over the course of four short episodes. It centres around the kids being off school and trying to find a treasure their dad and his brothers buried when they were kids. To be fair, there’s a nice story running through the game that wouldn’t be too far removed from the show. Even more impressive is how gorgeous the show’s look and animation are in comparison to so many other children’s TV shows, and whilst Bluey The Videogame matches some of those visual aspects fairly well, there’s little else to recommend. I’ve read comments that Bluey is a parenting show that kids enjoy too, and I can’t disagree with that. It’s sweet, funny, and handles life lessons in a way that a kid’s show really shouldn’t be able to. My kids love watching Bluey, even my ten-year-old. Bluey The Videogame doesn’t live up to the high standards of the show.
