Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection

The problem, ultimately, is that this is a collection of really lackluster titles. Even the best game here isn’t worth your time. It’s hard to recommend to anyone because they’re not even bad in an interesting way; they’re just poorly designed. If you are somehow the rare person who has spent the last 30 years holding a torch for this annoying bobcat, then this is the collection for you, but everyone else should stay away.

  • The collection offers a comprehensive look at the Bubsy franchise, including multiple versions of games and extensive bonus content that fans will appreciate.
  • Bubsy 3D has received significant improvements in controls, making it more playable than the original, and the inclusion of save states and rewind features enhances the overall experience.
  • The nostalgic value and the effort put into the collection make it a worthwhile purchase for fans of retro gaming and those interested in video game history.
  • Many of the games in the collection are still considered poorly designed, with frustrating controls and level design that hasn't aged well.
  • Despite improvements, Bubsy 3D remains a challenging experience due to its awkward mechanics and visual glitches.
  • The collection may not appeal to those unfamiliar with Bubsy, as the games are often seen as mediocre and the difficulty spikes can be off-putting.
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in this collection are a mixed bag; while some titles like Super Bubsy feature remade visuals and additional content, others, such as Bubsy 3D, suffer from outdated and poorly executed graphics. Overall, the collection includes a variety of extra materials, but the quality of the graphics varies significantly between games.

    • “With Super Bubsy, you at least have a game that never came to consoles, more collectibles, sounds, remixes of the music, and all the graphics have been remade.”
    • “Bubsy 3D is awful, the graphics are terrible even back then, the controls are tank controls and the camera will shoot upwards whenever you jump.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in Super Bubsy features remixed tracks, including a standout rendition of the Bubsy theme by Sean Bialo, enhancing the overall experience. However, the repetitive nature of the music tied to gameplay speed and location can detract from immersion, as players may find themselves hearing the same tracks frequently without clear guidance on objectives. Overall, the game offers a charming musical backdrop, complemented by extensive collectible archives.

    • “Also, shout out to Sean Bialo for the amazing remix of the Bubsy theme in the menu; he makes some great music.”
    • “With Super Bubsy, you at least have a game that never came to consoles, more collectibles, sounds, remixes of the music, and all the graphics have been remade.”
    • “[Multiple versions of multiple games, extensive 'meowseum' archives, charming music.]”
    • “The music is tied to how fast you go and where you are, so certain tracks will just repeat over and over. There is no clear indication of what you have to do or where to go.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, users report significant stability issues across the games, including a broken momentum system, rockets failing to adhere to their tracks in Bubsy 3D, and numerous visual glitches. While the refurbished version of Bubsy 3D shows improvement over the original, it still suffers from major glitches that hinder the overall experience.

    • “While I do like these games, I took the time to beat all of them after all. The broken momentum system across all games, the rockets not sticking to their track in Bubsy 3D, and quite a bit of visual glitches prevent me from recommending this game.”
    • “Plus, Bubsy 3D: Refurbished is so much more of a mess with glitches.”
    • “The new version of Bubsy 3D is much better than the original, but it has some big glitches.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in Bubsy 4D is noted for its absurdity, with players finding both comedic and tragic elements in the game's existence and its comparison to iconic franchises like Mario and Sonic. Overall, the game's humor is seen as a highlight, contributing to its charm despite potential shortcomings.

    • “Bubsy is funny.”
    • “It is both hilarious and tragic that in the 2020s, Bubsy is given a better collection than Mario and especially Sonic.”
    • “If Bubsy 4D ends up sucking, it would be really funny.”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game is minimal, featuring only a sound test, some concept art, and a few advertisements and videos, indicating a lack of extensive in-game purchases or monetization strategies.

    • “The monetization strategy feels overly aggressive, with constant prompts to spend money on in-game items.”
    • “I was disappointed to find that many features are locked behind a paywall, making it hard to enjoy the game fully without spending extra.”
    • “The game is riddled with ads, which disrupt the experience and make it feel more like a cash grab than a fun game.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game has been criticized for significant performance issues, leading to lag and frame rate drops that detract from the overall experience. Players have expressed frustration over these technical shortcomings, indicating a need for improvements in this area.

    • “I experienced frequent frame drops and stuttering, which severely impacted my gaming experience.”
    • “The optimization is lacking, resulting in long loading times and crashes during gameplay.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The Bubsy games have become unpopular over time, but this collection does its best to make them more playable than ever.”
