My heart stilled and my mind raced when I played <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3237970\/Bubsy_4D\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Bubsy 4D demo<\/a> that dropped yesterday as I realized\u2026 I was having a good time. I was playing Bubsy, listening to him crack jokes that were so bad it actively pissed me off, but the platforming was tight, responsive, and fun.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"H6AZkWmJUtd9UsaNUZjaCY\" name=\"Bubsyball\" alt=\"Bubsy in Hairball Mode.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/i-tried-the-bubsy-4d-demo-and-it-spits-on-the-series-legacy-by-actually-being-pretty-good.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Atari)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It&#8217;s a brief run through the game&#8217;s first three levels, but Bubsy has an impressive set of moves from the jump. He can glide, double-jump into an extended bit of hangtime like Yoshi in Super Mario World, pounce forward and lock onto enemies, crawl up walls, and go into &#8220;hairball mode,&#8221; which turns him into a furry pinball so he can roll down slopes at mach speeds.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve played 1996&#8217;s Bubsy 3D, I&#8217;m sorry that happened to you. But you&#8217;ll also remember that the movement was stiff, slow, and unresponsive; Bubsy 4D is on the other side of the spectrum, almost to a fault. It&#8217;s easy to dart around and careen past obstacles so fast the camera struggles to keep the action in frame. On one hand, it&#8217;s a speedrunner&#8217;s dream, on another, it can feel a little unpolished at the fringes.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, it&#8217;s shaping up to be a by-the-book collectathon. Stages are littered with various yarn balls and doodads you need to progress to the next stage and unlock new abilities. The unique draw, I suppose, is Bubsy&#8217;s sense of humor, which in this game embraces his place as a platforming D-lister. He&#8217;s older, lazier, and a little loath to be the star of another game, and it&#8217;s all done with an unsubtle wink at the camera.<\/p>\n<p>The joke, admittedly, is a little old. These games have been bad for so long that pointing and laughing isn&#8217;t novel anymore, and hearing Bubsy quip &#8220;T-pose, baby!&#8221; nearly every time he glides doesn&#8217;t endear me to him in the slightest. His Gen Alpha niece is around to call him &#8220;cringe,&#8221; but that never succeeds in shutting him up\u2014and with Heathcliff and Garfield on the table, Bubsy is my third favorite orange cat by a very wide margin.<\/p>\n<p>Still, I&#8217;m shocked to walk away from this demo cautiously optimistic about the final game. I&#8217;m hesitant to say it&#8217;ll change the face of 3D platforming, but I&#8217;m sure Bubsy fans will be happy with anything a few notches above misery.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re Bubsy-curious, you can try out the demo for yourself on <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/4032170\/Bubsy_4D_Demo\/\" target=\"_blank\">Steam<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"1b5a1884-3ec0-4a1e-a50b-dc123f520e69\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/i-tried-the-bubsy-4d-demo-and-it-spits-on-the-series-legacy-by-actually-being-pretty-good-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"1b5a1884-3ec0-4a1e-a50b-dc123f520e69\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/action\/i-tried-the-bubsy-4d-demo-and-it-spits-on-the-series-legacy-by-actually-being-pretty-good\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Polite society buried a lot of platformer mascots as we exited the 90s, but something Bubsy had over contemporaries like Gex and Croc (it&#8217;s a crock of something, alright!) is that his games were astoundingly, memorably dreadful.
