Bluey’s Happy Snaps 评测 – 小型冒险，魅力十足

Bluey has become one of the biggest children’s shows around, and it’s easy to see why. Its stories are simple, the humour feels natural, and the adventures often mirror things kids experience in their own lives. Bluey’s Happy Snaps takes that familiar world and turns it into a photography game that feels right at home with the show. A different team worked on this one compared to the previous Bluey game, bringing a new approach while keeping the colourful visuals and family-friendly activities fans would expect.

The visuals are easily the game’s strongest feature. The character models and environments capture the show’s art style so well that it feels like stepping straight into an episode. That familiarity goes a long way, especially for younger players who already watch Bluey. Older fans should appreciate how closely the game sticks to the look of the series, too.

While the previous game mostly retold stories from the TV show, Happy Snaps takes a different route by putting photography front and centre. The story is simple enough. Bluey and Bingo discover their dad’s old camera and decide to take it with them, snapping pictures of anything that catches their attention.

The main campaign revolves around scrapbooks, each based on a different location, such as a playground or a house. Every scrapbook contains stickers showing the things you need to photograph. You explore each area, find the required objects or characters, and take their pictures. Complete enough objectives and the next location becomes available.

Fortunately, there’s more to it than wandering around and ticking things off a list. The areas are fairly open, with characters to talk to and activities to discover along the way. In one of the early playground sections, you can play on the swings, hang out with Bluey’s friends, meet other characters, and take pictures of birds and animals. There’s a surprising amount to find if you take your time.

That freedom gives Happy Snaps a more playful feel than your typical photography game. The objectives are simple enough for young players to understand, but they also encourage you to explore instead of rushing through each area. Filling up the scrapbook gradually becomes a reward in itself, and I enjoyed having a reason to look around for things I might otherwise have missed.

Photography is the main attraction, though the game occasionally switches things up. Some challenges take place in on-rails sections that brought Pokémon Snap to mind. The camera moves automatically, leaving you to decide where to point it and which subjects to photograph before they disappear. These sections break up the usual exploration and give the photography a different feel, which helps keep things from getting stale.

There are a few mini-games as well. One has Bluey and Bingo driving a little car around and smashing as much as they can. It’s straightforward stuff, but it suits the show’s mischievous sense of fun. These activities don’t add a great deal of depth, though they provide a welcome change of pace between the photography challenges.

The game also draws on familiar childhood pastimes. Some photo challenges feel a bit like I Spy, asking you to search an area for specific objects. Completing larger objectives can also unlock colouring pages, giving younger players something to enjoy outside the main campaign. Combined with the little interactions scattered throughout each location, these touches help make the world feel like a place to spend time in rather than a series of levels to complete.

One feature I particularly liked is the option to choose which photos to keep after finishing a level. You’re not forced to save every picture you take, so you can pick out your favourites instead. It’s a small addition, but it makes perfect sense for a game built around photography.

Local co-op is available, too, allowing a second player to join in. The implementation is fairly basic, but it works well enough for this kind of game. Exploring the locations, taking pictures and trying out the mini-games can be more enjoyable with someone else, particularly for parents who want to play alongside their children.

I spent most of my time playing docked on Nintendo Switch 2, where the game looks especially good on a larger screen. The visuals are sharp and colourful, and the characters look remarkably close to their TV counterparts. Everything feels well put together, with plenty of care going into recreating the world of Bluey.

My biggest complaint is how quickly it all comes to an end. The levels are relatively small, and most mini-games wrap up before they have much time to develop. There’s enough variety to keep things entertaining, but the adventure feels short if you’re looking for something with a little more substance. The straightforward gameplay might also struggle to hold the attention of players who aren’t already fans of Bluey, particularly older audiences looking for a more involved experience.

Still, I came away pleased with what the game offers. The photography gives you a reason to explore, the activities capture the spirit of childhood play, and the visuals do an excellent job of bringing the show to life. I would’ve liked more content, but the short runtime doesn’t take away from the things Happy Snaps gets right.

I’d recommend Bluey’s Happy Snaps to younger players and fans of the series. Local co-op is a nice addition for families, while the simple controls make it easy for children to get started without much help. It may be a brief adventure, but it makes good use of its source material and delivers a charming experience that feels true to Bluey.

Bluey’s Happy Snaps captures the charm of the show with its colorful visuals and simple photography mechanics that even young kids can pick up quickly. Exploring each area in search of the right shot is fun, though the experience feels a little too short and the activities lack much depth. Younger fans will get the most out of it, while older players may find their interest fading before long. It’s a charming family game, but I often wished there was more to see and do.
