Bubsy 4D

Bubsy 4D is one of my favourite platformers in some time, and would be a guaranteed all-timer if it were just a little bit longer.

If you're looking for a new 3D Platformer, then Bubsy 4D could be for you. Guide Bubsy across three worlds and twelve levels to defeat the Baabots. Find out if the game is right for you in this review.

Playing Bubsy 4D captures lightning in a bottle — fluid movement, the glee of freedom to traverse as one pleases. This is a sandbox of thrills and bad jokes at the expense of the aging antihero, Bubsy, who controls like Mario in Odyssey. This isn’t only a game you think about whilst playing it. It is one that you replay in your head while having dinner with your in-laws. You, in a stupor, think “How can I get the speedrun medal in world 1-3?” They ask to pass the potatoes. You answer,...

Check out our review of Bubsy 4D and see if Bubsy manages to finally redeem himself on a modern platform. What could possibly have gone wrong?

Bubsy 4D is exactly what a new Bubsy game should be: a full 3D level-based platformer featuring the wise-cracking (but no longer insufferable) bobcat.

Woolie or won't he

Bubsy 4D is definitely an improvement over the last 3D outing for the wise-cracking bobcat, but there's still lots of room for improvement. Both the camera and controls will feel like your biggest enemy here at times, and unless you're into speedrunning the experience may feel rather brief.
