Replaying Bubsy was....an often frustrating affair. The one-hit kill mechanic for a game clearly trying to ape Sonic is beyond frustrating, especially at the speeds Bubsy can move, the quips are exhausting, and the levels can go on for way too long (or at least, it can feel like it)

....But those first 3 or 4 levels, at least the first world, are genuinely on the brink of something. They're really close to having a breakthrough of maybe having a really fun game, it just never gets there, and that's maybe the saddest thing that can be said about any game
