    Bugsnax is special. Young Horses have a unique, interesting and charming concept that’s been executed perfectly. There are a few nitpicks here and there but if you have any interest in Bugsnax you’ll find a game unlike any other and one I can’t stop saying good things about.

    Like its titular creatures, the food-finding game Bugsnax combines a mishmash of weird parts into an endearing, adorable, and eccentric new creation.

    And underlying it all, the one thing that didn't take us by surprise: the old catch-'em-all urge, as moreish as ever. Whether it's tickling your head or your heart, Bugsnax ensures they're never empty calories. [Issue#353, p.116]

    Bugsnax is a feel-good adventure with a lovable cast, a rich variety of tasty prey to hunt, but thoroughly unremarkable gameplay.

    Bugsnax could have been a silly and divisive game from Octodad's creators. But in the end, underneath its weirdness, it is a tasty experience of hunting, collecting and puzzles with some great writing ans characters, that can entertain everyone for a few hours.

    In lieu of what many community theories predicted is a cute and casual adventuring experience with an adorkable cast of Grumpuses and Bugsnax. But all that being said, Bugsnax isn't without its tricks.

    It's got well-observed characters and some genuinely weird moments, but the actual bug hunting isn't much fun.

    A really good game, worth the price. Though I wish there was more content, or maybe a sequel perhaps?

    Either way I would recommend this game.

All of the character arcs feel like they end sort of abruptly. I liked the voice acting, but I didn't like the writing much. Octodad is much better in almost every way IMO. The gameplay was more fun. The story, though sparse, was more fun in Octodad too. I'm not totally sure who the intended audience is.… Expand

    I think metascore 72 is honestly fair for this. It isn't anything new or special, any mobile game looks like this.
