    Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back may not be perfect, but it’s easily the best Bubsy game ever made.

    There really isn’t much to say about this new Bubsy that can persuade the haters out there. It’s a simple, underwhelming platformer with a goofy plot and mediocre challenge. Many of the problems that plagued the past Bubsy games have been fixed or completely removed, at least making this new game playable, but that’s the only new thing really presented here. It’s fun in small doses, but gets boring with longer play sessions. I’m still puzzled as to why anyone thought Bubsy needed to make a comeback as no one really missed him. It’s not as bad as I originally thought it would be, but it’s nothing new at the same time. Give it a try if your curious, you might like it. Just be thankful they didn’t try to remake Bubsy 3D.

    Bubsy as a character has very little to offer and the gameplay – despite looking nice – is repetitive.

    The poor value proposition aside, The Woolies Strike Back simply doesn’t offer up reasons to go back to the game after you complete it.

    Nobody expected the latest Bubsy game to be any good and I’m sorry to say that those expectations were completely correct. Stay far away from it. Go play Mario or something instead.

    In a game that can be finished in under an hour, Bubsy doesn’t so much as strike back, but rather say a few harsh words before getting pummeled into the ground.

    Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back is about as good as a Bubsy game can be. Unfortunately for this sloppy, cheap and noisy platformer, that's an unfathomably low bar to clear.

    Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back is a surprisingly good game from what was thought to be one of the worst video game series ever. LushBubsy: The Woolies Strike Back is a surprisingly good game from what was thought to be one of the worst video game series ever. Lush environments and tight controls provide an excellent gaming experience. The only real problem is the length. It's not very long but it offers tons of replayability. There's also Bubsy's famous one-liners which add color to the game. The story isn't that deep but neither is Super Mario Odyssey's. The level design is truly something to behold; I haven't seen level design this good in 2D platformers in years. If you are a fan of platformers, you should definitely buy this game. And no, this is not a joke review.… Expand

It beautifully crafts a deep narative to rival the Kingdom Hearts franchise with an orchestral soundtrack that brought tears to my eyes as I listened in awe. It’s presentation can only be embraced with a Ps4 pro, in which it’s 144p resolution can run at 3 frames per second instead of the usual -2. In the future, I hope they make minecraft skin packs for this game aswel as furry costumes XD. Overall this is the reincarnation of lord himself and is a punishment for the sins of my father, Rest in Peace Suzy.

    10/5- A solid entry into the Roblox franchise, thank you Bethesda for this great game.    … Expand

    Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back is a competent platformer which feels similar in gameplay to Giana Sister's Twisted Dreams. The side scrollingBubsy: The Woolies Strike Back is a competent platformer which feels similar in gameplay to Giana Sister's Twisted Dreams. The side scrolling levels are large and spacious with an emphasis on collecting yarnballs for the high score.

    The Good: Fans of platformers may enjoy this game. The levels are amusing and the bubsy character is a fun throwback to the past.

    The Bad: This game is extremely short. Imagine seeing the credits after the 3rd castle in a New Super Mario Bros game. It was abrupt, disappointing, and left much to be desired. I would have scored this game much lower if I wouldn't have atleast enjoyed myself up until the ending.    … Expand

    Après envions 4 heures de jeux ou je l'ai terminer et la casi totalité des trophées, il y à de nombreux points à revoir.

    Durée de vie assez médiocre ( finissable en 3h00 en jouant normalement).
    Collisions et Hitbox mal foutu (surtout les boss).
    Manque quelques élément de gameplay.
    Niveaux qui se ressemble tous.

    Le bon coter, c'est quand même la petite nostalgie, et que à part les quelques problème cité en dessus et les deux dernier boss, je me suis quand même amusé.

    à mon avis, rien que de rajouté au minimum 3 autres monde aurais mérité le 6, et sans les autre problèmes, il aurait eu sans soucis 10.    … Expand
