Bugsnax Reflection
A little late, but better than never!
FAVORITES
This game had a lot of positives for me, it was well made and deeply loved by the developers. I could see it in the experience playing it. The characters were amazing wether I loved or hated them. Some I even disliked at first became my favorites (Filbo my beloved). The sound design was great! I love the voice actors for all the characters and the Bugsnax themselves. The story was interesting, I was told it was a horror game despite its appearance and while I wouldn't categorize it as that, I can see the horror elements. It feels like Sesame Street body horror.
DISLIKES (spoilers)
I didn't like how much questing I missed due to the fact that I didn't want to feed anyone Bugsnax. I IMMEDIATELY felt weird about turning my new friends into food, I was 100% in agreement with Grampus on the eating Bugsnax issue. Yet, a lot of quests seemed to involve feeding them to people. I wish there was a way to just say "nah" and have them give you a different quest.
SUMMARY
Overall I extremely enjoyed this game. The puzzles, the mystery, the art style, and the characters were stand outs. I didn't realize they also made Octodad?? So, I'm very excited to see what they make next!
