Bugsnax Review - IGN

Bugsnax is a puzzle-adventure packed full of charm, mystery and a surprising amount of emotional depth.

NecrumOddBoy1644d ago

Nice launch game and lots of 8s and some 9s. Can’t lie, this next gen has me hyped for all these cartoony titles and platformers. Crash 4, Astro, Bugsnax, Ratchet, Kena... I love realism and mature titles but PS5 has my inner kid’s got the PSOne nostalgia back.

RaidenBlack1644d ago

IGN: We're stocked up on 8(s) ... so ...

ABizzel11644d ago (Edited 1644d ago )

You get an 8, you get an 8, you get an 8, and you get an 8. Everyone gets an 8.

That being said I'm once again pleasantly surprised by this developer. I had no clue what Bugsnax would be like, but summarizing they delivered a Pokemon Snap-like game with unique, funny, and absolutely ridiculous catching and gameplay mechanics. A wacky and positive launch game.

SullysCigar1644d ago

Yeah, it's a pretty weak effort on their part. On this occasion it lines up with other reviews, but their constant string of 8s stinks of trying to please all the big guys of gaming.

"The real reason why cyberpunk got delayed."

Abiz

I deleted my agree to keep you on 8

Then someone disagreed so I had to even the score

I looking forward to playing Ratchet, and Kena next year. I'm also hyped for biomutant, but it doesn't seem like it'll be launching anytime soon.

I played a bit of this on PS5 at launch and was really digging it. This is on sale for 9.99 on Steam for the next 48 hours, so it's a good time to experience it again in VR!

I hope they bring native support for PSVR2 players, but at the very least, they can run it off of their PCs now w the headset.

Really excited to jump into this tonight!

**Edit- I saw this on their Twitter, one of the devs said this about PSVR2:

"We don't have plans to port it to other platforms! Bugsnax was created using a custom game engine, so each port is time consuming. Our next game is in Unreal though, so future VR possibilities are muchhh easier"

At least you guys have the PC adapter now!

Neonridr179d ago

yeah but I'm not re-buying the game to play it in VR. I don't care how cheap it is. That's just silly to me.

OtterX178d ago

Did you actually buy it, or did you get it free on PS+ when the PS5 launched? I never actually had to pay for it.

Yea for me, I never finished it, so it's easily worth 9.99 to experience it in VR. I think that's a fair price to show support for more games to come to VR in the future.

But I understand if you played through it completely and don't want to hit it again. For me, many games become such a different experience in VR that I'll easily play them again. VR adds new life to everything.

Neonridr178d ago

@OtterX - that's a good point, I did get it free for PS+, I totally forgot.

Fair point. I know my kid loved it, maybe he'd dig it in VR.

Neonridr179d ago

shame that they don't include PSVR2 players considering this game was on the PS5 first.

OtterX178d ago

definitely a win for VR! I tried it this morning, and it feels like this is how the game was always meant to be played. The controls translate very well.

InUrFoxHole178d ago

VR has gotten some pretty decent games lately

anast178d ago

Finally some good news. PSVR is the future.

Abnor_Mal178d ago

Have this sitting in my library thanks to Plus, but I haven’t tried the game yet.

If there would have been a PSVR2 version then I would have more likely given it a go. As it is it may stay buried in my backlog a bit longer.

The 7 Most Underrated Games on PS5 You Need to Play

Amongst all the new PlayStation 5 releases, it's easy to miss some gems. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven most underrated games on PS5.

thorstein435d ago

Returnal: such a great game that got some weird misinformation in the press. Like, if you don't know why lie?

jznrpg435d ago (Edited 435d ago )

It’s a 10/10 for me. It doesn’t get enough love for sure. It’s way better than the rest of the games they listed except for Demons Souls.

ravens52435d ago

Returnal was a masterpiece. That's what media outlets do, they misinform. Can't wait to see Housemarques next game. Got Returnal day 1. Gonna play it again now lol.

ravens52435d ago

Kena was a good fun game. Also is Demon Souls really underrated? Stuck on the King🙄. Idk how this remake was received but I would think great. Anyway Demon Souls is a masterpiece as well.

thorstein435d ago

@Raven Yeah. Demon's Souls was great on PS3 and PS5. Wonderful both times. I have no problem with a remaster that comes 2 (or more) generations later.

victorMaje435d ago

To this day one of the best games on PS5. One of the best uses of dualsense too (after Astro).

ModsDoBetter435d ago (Edited 435d ago )

Returnal: Yes.
Destruction AllStars: Hell no.

List lost all credibility right there.
Massive flop.

Skuletor435d ago

Why is every game on this Top 7 list number 1?

Dirty_Lemons435d ago

Returnal is still my favourite PS5 game. A really interesting concept and a fun as hell roguelike.

Storm23435d ago

Same. Best PS5 experience for me so far. Love that game.

MrBaskerville435d ago

Was Returnal underrated though? Did so well that Sony bought Housemarque.

15 Most Underrated PS5 Games – 2023 Edition

GB: "With this feature, we run down 15 of the most underrated games on the PS5 that never received the love and appreciation they truly deserve."

REDGUM505d ago

I beg to differ. Most of these did fall under the radar or didn't receive the recognition that they deserved.
Chernobylite, Terminator Resistance, (especially) Dying Light 2 , Evil West, Weird West, Bugsnax, Guardians of the Galaxy, Like a Dragon and Outriders (pretty much impossible to play solo) were all underrated in my opinion.
Each to their own though.

DickyD1226505d ago

But none of these are under rated.

HansyJ505d ago

Half these games aren’t even from 2023.. a terrible list

Demetrius505d ago

Only real next gen first game ps5 have is spiderman 2 and also star wars jedi survivor hopefully we get more next year
