I'm not convinced I'll ever get the Bugsnax theme out of my head...
Bugsnax is an incredibly odd game that ended up being a bit more fun and overall way different than what I was expecting. Yes the game game is about collecting Bugsnax,, but it's way more about the characters, relationships, and stories than I thought it to be. And boy does the story get weird.

The act of running around collecting Bugsnax in the beginning of the game is a little tedious, but it gets more interesting as you get further into the game and unlock more tools. You have to do a bit more problem solving to figure out how you can combine your tools and the environment to catch the Bugsnax.
Most of the reward from actually hunting the Bugsnax is just seeing all the different goofy designs. I also enjoyed customizing all the Grumpuses to make them look wacky.
The story ended up being more fun than I expected. By the end, I was invested in the lives of each Grumpus.

SUMMARY

+ Fun, but quite easy, puzzle-solving
+ Bugsnax designs were cute and made me want to catch them all
+ Great cast of characters that I ended up caring more about than I expected to

- Traps can be a bit finnicky, making catching Bugsnax occasionally frustrating
- Not sure how memorable this game will be beyond the catchy theme song and cute Bugsnax designs.
- Literally looks like a PS2 game.
