The 1990s platforming mascot Bubsy has returned in a new 3D entry, Bubsy 4D, developed by Fabraz, the creator of the well-regarded 3D platformers Demon Tides and Demon Turf. The game is available now on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG, as well as PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. Unlike the original 2D Sonic-like games, Bubsy 4D is a stage-based 3D platformer closer in design to the Crash Bandicoot series. Players control Bubsy using a hairball ground dash, jump, flutter step, glide, and grab attack, which can be chained together with momentum to skip large sections of the loosely designed stages. The game is heavy on meta-humor and self-deprecating jokes, with Bubsy breaking the fourth wall and even misspelling his own name. A time attack mode on every stage demands precise use of movement combos to skip obstacles. The reporter notes the game feels very much like a variation of Fabraz's Demon Tides, with solid gameplay but limited originality and a low stage count. Some in-game banter is left untranslated.
