Blueberry

[h2]🫐 Review de Blueberry[/h2] Uma aventura narrativa de plataforma que acompanha a jornada de uma mulher através de memórias importantes de sua vida, explorando temas como amor, perda e autodescoberta enquanto escala a misteriosa Torre da Vida. [h3]✨ O que mais gostei[/h3] A narrativa emocional é o coração da experiência. Cada fase representa momentos marcantes da vida da protagonista e consegue transmitir sentimentos de forma sensível e sincera. O visual é bonito e a trilha sonora ajuda a reforçar o tom contemplativo da jornada. [h3]⚙️ Pontos de atenção[/h3] A jogabilidade é relativamente simples e serve mais como suporte para a narrativa. Alguns trechos podem parecer lentos para quem busca desafios mais intensos ou mecânicas complexas. [h3]💭 Conclusão[/h3] Blueberry é uma experiência emocional e reflexiva que utiliza a escalada como metáfora para a vida. Um jogo curto, sensível e que deixa sua mensagem de forma bastante elegante. ⭐ Minha nota pessoal: 8 / 10

Short but emotionally potent! Wow. I absolutely adored this game from start to finish. I was intending to play for just an hour or so... and then I ended up getting so involved that I not only beat the game once -- but twice -- in the same sitting. (Needed that second playthrough to help me process everything & see if I could unlock new outcomes, lol.) So happy I found it! I decided to give it a try after the creator gave a talk at a games festival I attended where she shared about her 8-year-long journey of creating this game. I was touched by her story and could personally relate to so much of what she shared. And that continues into the game itself. It was so emotionally resonant it made me cry a couple of times (The cat! That's all I'm saying.). By the end of my 6-hour bender, I felt like I had undergone some deep therapy and was changed for the better. Not only is the story touching and resonant, but the gameplay itself felt so therapeutic. The puzzles weren't especially challenging, which I think was exactly what was needed. The music was calming and supported the emotional beats. And ultimately, the game felt like one big 3-hour-long meditation. I loved the creativity that went into it the art as well. How each stage really becomes an embodiment of that particular stage of life. How eating food relieves depression. How depression literally colors how you see the world. Truly, a work of art from start to finish! If you are someone with mommy issues... maybe Blueberry is exactly the therapy your soul has been craving. :)

Eine wunderbare Reise durchs Leben, die unter die Haut geht. Vererbte Traumata, die über Familiengenerationen hinweg weitergegeben werden, sind hier schmerzhaft, aber auch taktvoll dargestellt. Blueberry charakterisiert Trauma auf wunderbare Weise durch seine Mechaniken. Hinter jeder verschlossenen Tür verbirgt sich eine schmerzhafte Erinnerung, der man sich stellen muss, um Frieden mit sich selbst zu schließen. Danke Mel und Team für dieses wunderbare und wichtige Spiel!

A compelling exploration of a human life! It's such a pleasure to play a game that was clearly built with so much heart and intention. From small aesthetic changes to changes in the actual mechanical controlling of the game, all the choices and changes throughout the game were clearly crafted in service of the narrative experience. The distinct chapters all evoke different flavours and feelings, and I really felt drawn in by Blueberry's story as it changed and grew and pieces fell into place. Got a little teary eyed here and there. Definitely worth a look if you enjoy an emotional story and some fun visuals!

It's a great story game. Don't expect much from the platforming. But the story is worth it.

I love the story and even more the way that it is told. This game will give you pause and nudge you to reflect on your own life even if you haven't experienced the exact same issues. And the best part is that it does so in a safe and empathetic kind of way, without flooding you with negative feelings, on the contrary it feels quite therapeutic. I so far only played about an hour but already got immersed in the story more than most of the other games i have played. Blueberry is a real jewel. I can't speak to the platforming part of the game because I haven't played a lot in this genre, but I did enjoy it and it gave me a chance to cool down and process in between pieces of memories, pacing the experience just right. The great part is you don't have to like platform games to love Blueberry, get it for the story and the experience - it's absolutely worth it.

It's very wholesome and the narrative is played out in a unique way, really enjoyable game <3
