Bluey's Quest For The Gold Pen

Played this with my 4 year old, she was having a really good time with it until the difficulty spike around the 4th/5th area. I played a lot of it while she watched me but still enjoyed our 4-5 hours with it. I wish there were more to the achievements, it would extend the playtime by a lot of hours if you had to complete each area fully. Wait for a sale, it's worth around $20 in my opinion 7/10

Hermione and I smashed and now our 4 year old wizard love child loves Bluey. Keeps her entertained and controls are simple enough for her to use the controller by herself. So far seems to have enough content to justify the cost. Definitely more than the other one.

Okay, overall the game isn't bad, not at all. It has potential. The gameplay is simple enough that even small kids can play it, but not so easy that older players get bored right away. The world design reminds me a bit of the old Game Boy games like Zelda. The problem, as always, is everything else: Video sequences often just don't start at all. The sound plays, but you only get a black screen or a still image. The voice acting is only in English, which is a shame because the other Bluey game we have is really nicely dubbed in German. That wouldn't even be such a huge deal if the German texts hadn't been translated by a (very dumb) AI. Some of it is so bad that I sometimes have to guess what they actually meant. For example, the English "Exit" was translated as "Ausfahrt" — which means like a highway exit or parking lot exit... when it should obviously be "Beenden" (Quit/Exit). For a €40 game, I really expect more. This is not acceptable. Texts translated by AI — and clearly by a bad one that no one bothered to proofread afterward — plus game-breaking bugs that mean you can't properly experience the game. If a cutscene gets stuck, for example, I can't replay it. I have to completely restart the game and start a new save file... Conclusion: It has potential, but due to the numerous bugs and the disastrous text localization, it's not worth €40. I'm not going to ask for a refund anyway. I'm hoping the game will be brought up to an acceptable standard. Plus, I've already promised my 5-year-old that he can play it... -.-* So please don't let me down. I'm even writing this in English on purpose so that someone from the devs actually reads it. I expect more from the "Bluey" brand than what was delivered here... I cannot recommend it at the moment, BUT: I will update my review if at least the in-game bugs AND the German localization (text) are fixed and brought up to a usable standard.
