Bubsy's revival bundles the original 2D platformer and its 3D follow-up, offering a crash course in the pitfalls of mascot platforming. Players will immediately recognize the signature "Woolie" jump and the protagonist's incessant one-liners, which are either charming or grating, depending on your tolerance. Despite the technical shortcomings and dated design, the collection serves as a cautionary tale, revealing how a once-promising character failed to innovate within the genre.
