Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
84 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The little gimmicks they introduce, as well as the ramping skill checks, do make each new level feel fresh when you get to them and the actual gameplay, I feel, is well paced when you're not rushing them.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's made competently, has a lot of love pouring out of every orifice, the soundtrack is solid, the voice-acting is cheesy but it fits the tone of the game, the writing can be a bit mean-spirited towards Bubsy at times but it all makes sense.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals and art style of the game are superb, a perfect example that you don't need fidelity to look amazing; by extension the levels all are gorgeous and imaginative, even though there's only 3 planets, they all shake things up to make each scenario feel different.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Plays very similar to Super Mario Odyssey and A Hat In Time, so the skill ceiling can be pretty high if you allow it.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's kinda finicky, but a huge upgrade which allows me to see what the designers were actually going for, unbogged down by the limitations of the earliest PlayStation controller.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
