CD-ActionJun 9, 2021Bugsnax are delicious, but you have to be very creative to find a way to catch them all. The hunt itself is engaging and accompanied by quite an interesting story. However, some of the objectives are not clear enough, and while the adventure is full of funny events, it becomes boring after a while. [01/2021, p.54]

Nov 9, 2020If you are buying a PlayStation 5 with a PlayStation Plus subscription, Bugsnax will be surely worth your time considering that it will be free. Otherwise there's still value, but you may find it too easy and repetitive in its mechanics.

Nov 9, 2020It's been a while since I've played a game with a cast of characters that was so good it elevated the rest of the experience.

Nov 9, 2020Bugsnax is a strange concoction of elements that come together for a truly unique adventure. Finding and catching the titular creatures is great fun, but the gameplay is broken up by story beats that belie the game's simple, whimsical style. The mysterious narrative and memorable ensemble cast will keep you interested between hunting for snax, too. Despite loading screens interrupting the flow and a handful of repeated beasties, this curious game is an unusual blend of flavours that works wonderfully.

Nov 9, 2020I had a fine time on Snaktooth Island with Bugsnax, but like Young Horse’s Octodad, I don’t feel a need to return anytime soon. And that’s okay, because a launch gaming library definitely needs a pleasant, concise sort of adventure like this.

Nov 9, 2020Bugsnax is an odd and wacky experience that'll be remembered as the black swan of the PS5 launch lineup, in the best way possible. It highlights PlayStation's commitment to having a diverse catalog of games at the PS5 launch, and with Bugsnax being free on PS Plus for PS5 players at launch, there's no reason not to try it if you're a subscriber.

Nov 12, 2020The game noticeably stumbles as it attempts to more overtly address the darkness beneath its concept.
