Bugsnax is a puzzle-adventure packed full of charm, mystery and a surprising amount of emotional depth. Reviewed by Simon Cardy on PlayStation 5. Bugsnax is available on PS5, PS4 and PC.
Actually excited to give this a go!! My brother and sister are also obsessed with the theme song so I’m expecting them to not leave me alone when my ps5 comes 😭😭
Just finished it last night and have to agree. I did everything just so I wouldnt have to end the game because it was so fun and because I loved so many of the characters and their relationships so much (except Floofty and Shelda). Teared up a lot when the beach scene happened.

Anyone else felt genuinely bad at the ending of bugsnax? I mean, it was so much of a light hearted game (even though it had some intense stuff) but finding out that bugsnax are parasites and a metaphor to drugs, and realizing that I've been feeding an entire community on this things (even more in gramble's case, as we force him to eat). There is a lot to discuss about a lore as surprisingly deep as this game
Whenever IGN doesn't rate someones favourite game a 10: "They didn't rate it a 10 because its not call of duty smh...🙄🙄🙄" But guys Dw Bugsnacks is the sequel to call of duty cold war, trust me, how else could you explain the gun wielding violence seen in bugsnacks?? The scene where the carrot gets eaten... absolutely heart wrenching...
This is definitely game of the century. As the Lord Savior, I recommend this game to everyone. Even Cyberpunk got delayed because they fear the inevitable.
I'm genuinely interested in this. And I'm quite surprised with this review, usually IGN reviews don't touch aspects that i care about. But this one quite did.
I'm a little disappointed there was no mention of the dual sense controller. I really want to know how much developers are actually going to use it, if at all.
"That will keep you guessing until *after* the credits roll." Based on that I can assume that either there's a post credit cutscene or the credits roll during the final scene. Which I certainly did not expect for a game like this. Honestly I can't wait. This game sounds amazing.

All jokes aside. This was my most anticipated game after Cyberpunk and Demons Soul.
I seriously was moved to tears when it ended. You just can't even Image how well the game gets to it's end, please everybody play this!

Go listen to "Flamingo" by Kero Kero Bonito. They're a legit great band if you want some really sugary pop sounds.
🎶 Kinda bug and kinda snak 🎶
this is genuinely one of my favorite games like, ever
This reminds me of the classics back on the PSone or PS2 days growing up, I hope kids these days have fun this xmas.
It makes you feel like a bug

That's the the byproduct of Sony, Microsoft..etc having a larger advertising budget. ;)

BUGSNAX: Prepare To Die Edition!
Anyone else felt genuinely bad at the ending of bugsnax? I mean, it was so much of a light hearted game (even though it had some intense stuff) but finding out that bugsnax are parasites and a metaphor to drugs, and realizing that I've been feeding an entire community on this things (even more in gramble's case, as we force him to eat).

I love how you kept throwing in lyrics from the Bugsnax Kero Kero Bonito song throughout the review.

The only game with more bugs than Cyberpunk... And they're meant to be there!
