Alright, let’s talk about Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind—because yeah, that title is a mouthful. This SNES platformer is pure '90s energy: bright colors, a wisecracking bobcat, and levels that feel like they were designed by someone who just discovered caffeine.

You’ll spend most of your time running, jumping, and occasionally faceplanting into enemies because Bubsy’s hitbox is… let’s say "generous." The Woolies are stealing yarn (because of course they are), and it’s up to you to bounce around collecting it while dodging everything from UFOs to giant vacuum cleaners. The controls take some getting used to—Bubsy slides around like he’s on buttered toast—but once you get the hang of it, there’s something weirdly satisfying about chaining pounces together.

The music’s catchy in that old-school way, and the levels are packed with little secrets if you’re willing to risk an extra life or two. Just don’t expect deep storytelling—Bubsy’s one-liners are about as deep as it gets. It’s chaotic, janky in places, and honestly kind of charming because of it. If you’re in the mood for a retro platformer that doesn’t take itself seriously, this one’s a trip.
