    Only time will tell if Bubsy manages to capitalize on Bubsy 4D, but it’s a solid entry for a franchise that has struggled to make it in the 3D space.

    Without question, Bubsy 4D is the best game in the franchise, but that's a pretty low bar to cross. It’s a perfectly fine platformer that fans of 3D platformers will likely enjoy messing around with for a few hours. However, it’s hard not to feel disappointed when there’s evidently a much better Bubsy game buried somewhere within Bubsy 4D that we only get to glimpse at. Maybe next time.

    A welcome flourish of invention runs through the gameplay, making this the best-playing Bubsy, despite a few snags.

    In my opinion 3D platformers are tough to nail. The ones that do live on and those that don’t, get forgotten about. I think Bubsy will see a short stay, but it’s not polished so much for the long haul. And maybe that’s the Bubsy way. If not for the controller issues I had, it’d be a really fun recommendation for more but for now, I’d probably just give this one to those orange bobcat aficionados.

    Overall, Bubsy 4D had my attention and when it hits, it is fun to play. Sadly, most of the time it just isn’t. I tried very hard to love this game, and while it is the best Bubsy game to date, it still falls short to most similar platformers. Thirty plus years later I am still waiting for the Bubsy game that will be considered a classic, but at this point I feel it just might not be in the cards for everyone’s favorite bobcat.
