Bubsy 4D is the follow-up to one of the worst video games ever made, as the makers of Demon Tides offer their take on the platform series.

Bubsy 4D Review - Fabulous Flailing Bobcat

Bubsy 4D Review Bubsy games are usually kind of a hot mess. So imagine my surprise when I found out that Bubsy 4D is a pretty good time. The platforming is janky but reliable, the visuals are delightful, and the writing is appropriately cheesy. If you’ve only had awful experiences with Bubsy games, this latest release might be the one that changes your mind about the entire series. On the other hand, this is still a retro 3D platforming title, s…

The People vs. Bubsy 4D

One of the last sequel announcements anyone would have ever expected is a good-faith sequel to Bubsy 3D, a punching bag of a video game best known for being a 3D platformer that arrived in the same year as the genre-defining Super Mario 64.

Bubsy 4D Review – Knit Happens

There are entire generations of players who treat the wool-obsessed Bubsy like gaming roadkill. A cautionary yarn from the early ‘90s, when publishers saw Sonic print money and decided every animal with eyebrows deserved a mascot franchise. Even so, I’ve always had a weird soft spot for the bobcat. You see, the Flanders-like parents of my next-door neighbour had chugged the mainstream media Kool-Aid and were convinced that Hedgehog gave everybod…
