Bubsy In: The Purrfect Collection

THE SCORE TELLS HALF THE TAIL

- 

Meme culture can be harsh - just ask Bubsy. If you were to believe everything you read on the internet, the bobcat's adventures constitute the worst videogame franchise ever. To some extent, we get it. There's no doubt that the character can be grating, thanks to vocal quips that seemed like a cute idea in the development room. Yes, Bubsy 3D was an unmitigated disaster. However, reviews of the 16-bit games paint a picture of a platform mascot that didn't compare to Mario or Sonic, but provided a decent experience once you'd worn those classics out. With that in mind, there are bound to be players who have legitimate affection for Bubsy.
