I really liked Bugsnax for what I thought was gonna be just mediocre puzzle game for kids turned out to be so much more than initially expected and in my opinion is the sleeper hit of this decade . The gameplay is super fun with all of the puzzles to catch the Bugsnax being pretty creative and speaking of the Bugsnax themselves they are super cute and I love their designs I also think that the ways their caught is super inventive.

Another thing this game really surprised me with was the story and characters my impression going in was the story wasn’t going to be amazing or anything just an excuse to get up and catch these creatures turned out to actually be really well told with the characters shining the most I thought they were all going to be two dimensional jokes turned out to be a lot more. Like for example Cromdo I thought he was just going to be a hotheaded penny pincher was instead given reasons as to why he’s like this making it so much deeper than what I first thought.

My only real negative’s is sometimes after completing objectives the game will lag I don’t know if that’s a Switch exclusive issue or what. I also think the bosses were a bit okay the only two that really stood out were Megamaki and Cakelegs.
I also thought that the music was pretty okay too like I don’t think I’d be able to make any tracks other than the main theme and the song Kero Kero bonito made not that any of it was bad just forgettable to me.
