“Bubsy 4D appears to get the joke. The never-a-mascot bobcat has been around for decades, scraping for relevance. While this game isn't revolutionary, it's a competent platformer that will likely garner Bubsy a few new fans.”

“Rugrats: Retro Rewind Collection is like poop in a baby's diaper. It's significantly ugly, outdated in its gameplay offerings, and genuinely frustrating, with a gallery of glitches. While some of the minigames can be fun overall, most are outdated and shouldn't have been re-released. It is a decent flash in the past and great for preservation, on the other hand.”

“The Rugrats: Retro Rewind Collection is a decent enough way to play Search for Reptar in 2026 if you grew up playing it originally on the PlayStation. Beyond that, there isn’t much to really say that this is a must-buy. Maybe you can find some enjoyment in Studio Tour, but everything else here doesn’t hold up satisfyingly unless you consider yourself the most diehard of Rugrats fans, but even then, there isn’t much to celebrate here.”

Lords Of Gaming May 21, 2026Score 80Pre-release Review

“It’s hard not to compare Bubsy 4D to Demon Tides because the foundations are so similar, and I think I would’ve walked away more positive if Bubsy had launched first. That’s not to say Bubsy 4D falls short—it’s a solid 3D platformer that is mechanically deeper and feels better than most in the genre. It’s just not a game that shoots for the stars the way Fabraz proved they could before. Still, this is the best rags to riches revival I’ve seen in gaming, turning a laughing stock of the industry into a franchise that can sit alongside Mario’s biggest rivals. The bobcat is back by no demand—and he’s actually a lot of fun this time.”

“Bubsy 4D could have easily been written off as another disappointing attempt to revive the series, but developer Fabraz put some love and care into it and gave us the best Bubsy game since at least the original two. The controls actually work well, the humor is there, and the actual gameplay is quite fun in a 3D environment. The biggest downside to the game overall is just how short it is, with only 15 levels, which feels more like a demo in that way. Even so, at least the series appears to be on the right track, and hopefully, this will be just the foundation to build upon for more fleshed-out adventures for Bubsy.”

“Well… I guess persistence pays off. While Bubsy 4D may be over too soon, it’s still an overall very fun platformer and Bubsy is finally a likeable protagonist. If this is what the future holds for the bobcat, What could possibly go wrong?”

“Bubsy 3D is finally a good game worthy of the bobcat, offering a fun adventure with varied movement options and accessible yet satisfying 3D platforming. While the visuals lack personality and some stages feel repetitive, especially the tube-rolling sections, it still manages to revive the classic mascot with a genuinely enjoyable experience.”

“Bubsy 4D manages to do something I honestly didn't expect: transform a franchise that has always been surrounded by criticism into a fun experience full of personality. Fabraz and Atari really understood what the character represents and delivered a simple yet charismatic platformer, with good movement mechanics and an interesting replay value for those who enjoy collectibles and speedruns.”

“In some ways, Bubsy 4D is the best the series has ever been; the bobcat's wide range of abilities affords him a huge amount of freedom to move through levels with style. However, a fairly narrow focus on movement means other aspects suffer; enemies may as well not be there, and stages are static and sparsely furnished. The result is a good 3D platforming character stuck in a pretty bland 3D platformer.”

“Bubsy 4D is a far better revival for the boisterous bobcat than I think anyone could have anticipated he’d ever receive. Fabraz nailed it out of the park here, turning a series that was essentially the internet’s platforming laughingstock into a brilliant and extremely enjoyable 3D platformer that I couldn’t stop playing. The camera can be a bit unwieldy on occasion, but that’s nowhere near enough to stop Bubsy 4D from being a top-notch game.”

“Bubsy 4D feels like a chaotic love letter to old-school platformers, blending exaggerated humour, nostalgic PS1/PS2-style visuals, and constantly shifting mechanics into something deliberately messy yet strangely cohesive. It may not always be polished, but its charm and playful energy make it a memorable, endearing return for a franchise that thrives on controlled chaos and silly jokes.”

Expanded with a full Necron campaign, impressive army and hero progression systems, and highly effective new tactical combat mechanics, the game delivers a rich strategy experience that will satisfy both longtime fans of the universe and newcomers eager to explore the fanatical Adeptus Mechanicus and the arrogant Necron factions.”

Gaming BoulevardMay 21, 2026Score 60Pre-release Review

“Still, depth alone doesn’t completely save the experience, which clocks out after a good five or six hours of story-driven gameplay. Why? Because ultimately, Bubsy 4D remains trapped between reinvention and nostalgia. It wants to modernize Bubsy while simultaneously preserving everything people remember about him, including many of the frustrating parts. The game constantly brushes against greatness without ever fully committing to it. You can see glimpses of an incredible platformer buried underneath the noise, but those glimpses never fully stabilize into something consistently excellent. And maybe that’s the most fitting outcome possible for Bubsy. Because, against all odds, Bubsy 4D actually succeeds in making Bubsy relevant again. Not purely as a meme, but as a legitimately entertaining, occasionally brilliant platformer revival with genuine mechanical ambition behind it. That alone feels borderline impossible. Unfortunately, even breathing new life into the franchise couldn’t fully save Bubsy from the same issues that have haunted him for decades. The uneven pacing, the frustrating design decisions, the technical roughness, and the overreliance on repetitive collect-a-thon structure keep dragging the experience back down whenever it threatens to truly evolve. Bubsy 4D is fascinating. It’s weird, it’s ambitious, and it’s messy. Sometimes it’s even genuinely great. But in the end, it still feels like Bubsy, and maybe that’s exactly the problem.”
