Bugsnax review

The character received a video message from Lisbert Megafruit: with her associates, she began to build a settlement on Vkusnyashny Island, in order to study the local representatives of the fauna - the beetle. An unprecedented hybrid of food and beetles awaits its explorers. Upon arrival, it turns out that the scientist disappeared, and her group broke up.

At first glance, the environment looks familiar, if you do not take into account the population - Khrumba. Outwardly, they look like shaggy cylinders with arms and legs. The action takes place on a huge territory, divided into regions. Initially, only one instrument is available for work - a nyamkoscope. In fact, it is a scanner that provides information about the environment and animals. The latter deserve special attention. As already mentioned, they look like chimeras of animals and food. The names are clear and describe them with humor. Each of them has unique properties and requires a special approach. Some can be lured with ketchup, another must be extinguished with water, and the third will not give up cheese sauce.

Other characters also live on the island. The dialogues with them are filled with humor. They will also be happy to tell you something or give an assignment. After completing them, they agree to join the team. Each of them is unique in its own way. There is a healthy basketball player, a singer who makes a song out of every phrase, a farmer and many others. Not without customization: to change the appearance, you need to eat a beetle, the result will depend on its type.

Despite the external frivolity and absurdity, much attention is paid to the plot. The main and side missions do not differ in quality and are equally interesting. The characters are spelled out in detail, and thanks to the abundance of conversations, they reveal the characters well. Screenshots
