But Why Tho?: 4 / 10 by Mick Abrahamson
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.
PC Gamer: 60 / 100 by Lauren Aitken
A family-friendly adventure that captures the essence of the show, despite rough edges and a steep price.
IGN: 4 / 10 by Luke Reilly
Bluey: The Videogame may look the part but, with shonky controls and barely two hours of gameplay, everywhere else it’s a dog’s breakfast.
