Bugsnax PC Buying Guide: Last Chance For A Discount

Bugsnax launched alongside the PS5 today, but it's also available on PS4 and PC. The PS5 version is free for PS Plus subscribers, while PC players can secure a discount through the Epic Games Store. It comes with a 15% discount, which brings its $25 price tag down to $21.24--it's not a huge difference, but it saves you a couple bucks that you can use toward something else.

Bugsnax puts you in the shoes of a reporter who learns of Snaktooth Island after receiving word from explorer Elizabert Megafig. Snaktooth is home to creatures called Bugsnax, which are bug-snack hybrids that move around like creepy-crawlies and taste like food. You travel to the island to document the island and creatures, but after arriving, you discover that Megafig has gone missing.

Bugsnax is a first-person adventure game that'll have you exploring Snaktooth Island, taking photos of Bugsnax, and trapping the creatures. All of the humanoid characters you'll be helping are monsters, much like the kind you'd find on Sesame Street. It earned an 8/10 in GameSpot's Bugsnax review.

The voice cast portraying Snaktooth Island's residents is a star-studded one. Prominent voice actors like Yuri Lowenthal (Marvel's Spider-Man), Fryda Wolff (Apex Legends), and Max Mittelman (Persona 5) are featured as are Debra Wilson (Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order), Roger Craig Smith (Resident Evil 5), and Fred Tatasciore (Overwatch). Bugsnax creative director Kevin Zuhn said that developer Young Horses was able to get all of the voice actors in a room for ensemble recordings. This isn't common for most games, but Zuhn says "seeing them all play off of each other's energy was wonderful."
