    Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling is an intriguing and beautiful RPG, paying homage to classic Paper Mario games. Some areas, such as the dialogue, feel rushed, but there's a well thought out storyline and plenty of side quests and mini-games to keep you entertained.

    Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling was made as a tribute to the Paper Mario series and in an attempt to recapture the spirit of the first game of the series. While Bug Fables does not succeed in this purpose, it does deliver a good game, with an addictive combat, well structured plot (and a lot of dialogues), as well as game world that's a marvel to look at. So while the more spiritual goal to pay tribute to Nintendo's series went off the mark, the secondary objectives to make a good game are undoubtedly successful.

    I really enjoy this game but having specific save points is very annoying because that means you can't stop whenever you won't, you eitherI really enjoy this game but having specific save points is very annoying because that means you can't stop whenever you won't, you either have to lose your progress or keep going until you can save. Another small issue is you can't see enemy health which messes with tactics for the game. The last thing is there is part of the game where you are throwing things and you have to be precise and it's hard to do that with the way the game moves the characters. You don't have complete control over how they're facing which makes being precise hard.… Full Review »

    Bug Fables: The Everlasting **** This game is so boring it feels like its everlasting. There are more bugs in this game than Richard ParkerBug Fables: The Everlasting **** This game is so boring it feels like its everlasting. There are more bugs in this game than Richard Parker growls at Pi through 227 days at sea. Heck, there's more bugs in this game than Macbeth kills people. Its kinda buggy. The only smidge of positivity in this game is that the main character is a wasp, and they may be a common ancestor to the Geospiza Fortis. This game is too buggy for me and gets a 0, just like the Biology class average.… Full Review »
