I also thought the ending wasn't so far out there...until I saw the bad ending a few days later on YouTube.

Did the same thing. The sequence ended but wouldn't continue so it softlocked. That gadget can cause a lot of mayhem, I've noticed, since I launched Chandlo off a cliff once earlier.
Beat the game, it was a lot of fun, super charming and the collecting snack mechanics were engaging. Seems likely there is a sequel. Wish I hadn't heard there was buzz about the ending because I thought
that the Bugsnax were going to be Grumps and that everyone was really a cannibal or the player character's identity was something special
You can launch the trap at stuff. Dunno about the bridge logic but you can easily jump around the barrier. Doing so makes the bridge collapse, Chandlo will rebuild it later.
Can't find a way out the first area when there's a guy lying on the floor? Just briefly played it the other night but haven't got far.
Just finished it. First PS5 game I've finished and my first PS5 Platinum. Really loved it and it will probably be on my top 10 of the year. Just charming, fun, and super creative. Has a lot of heart and activates all the good collectathon parts of my brain. Also the music was excellent, perfectly relaxing and fit the vibe so well. Definitely recommend it.
I was expecting it a bit more wild considering how some people described it but still was great.
Also I'm assuming that is a possible sequel tease at the very end. It's Bugsnax all the way down baby.

What a surprise this game was!
I started on Thursday and yesterday I got the platinum trophy. It was hilarious, the characters were great, the music was catchy AF, and getting the bugsnax was really addictive.
I really loved my time with it and I'm glad Sony decided to make it the PS5+ game of the month. Everyone who has it please give it a try!

Does the Bugsnax song ever appear in the game at all?
I think I'm probably about 2/3 of the way through right now based on how much map I've uncovered and the amount of grumpuses I have back in town. Taking my time doing all the side quests as they come up.
So far catching Bopsickle is probably the most fun I've had. Even though I figured out pretty fast what I had to do, it took a couple tries to execute my plan and it's pretty funny even I failed.

I just donate any extra Bugsnax I collect to the guy who likes them as pets.
I noticed this got updated last night on PS5 but haven't had a chance to try it yet - does it fix the framerate issues?
Yep, I'm really liking it. Won't be for everyone, but I'm pretty hooked on it.
Also love the PS5's activity cards. They really helped in a couple of instances.
The PC version runs perfectly on my machine which is not a low end one but the 1080 is still outclassed by the PS5. No idea what's going on there, maybe the engine they're using has some compatibility issues? I didn't even install it on my SSD and it loads lightning fast anyway. Definitely something going wrong there. How does it perform on the PS4?
I'm thinking it must be something simple like the dev accidentally enabled like 4x supersampling on a 4k output, or set the AA to 8x. There is no reason for the game to run the way it does given what I've seen so far. If it was a case of the whole game being extremely unoptimized, it would also run badly on PC.
Then again, the dev did put out a patch yesterday and the frame rate issues are still the same. So who knows
Gotta wait for PS6 to unleash the full potential of Bugsnax.
But seriously, the Switch could run this game.
I was playing yesterday after the update and there were some heavy frame drops when the soda cans in Boiling Bay were spitting at me haha. I also had a problem at the end when the trophy
All of the Grumpuses survive.
didn't pop and had to redo the last section of the game to get it.
I don't know if this has been posted, but the Young Horses channel uploaded the complete OST 🔥🔥🔥
The game was made by six people in the middle of pandemic. I think we can cut them some slack.
You're probably not sensitive to them. It's constantly stuttering in the 50-60 range and sometimes worse.
yeah game is def not optimized, no reason not to be running 60fps all the time. I get slight stutters still majority 60 but panning camera fast can drop frames
Just finished Bugsnax.
I really enjoyed it.
There's something about that just felt nice and cosy to play haha.
There isn't a magic optimise button that'll make it run at locked 60.

The game has two programmers.

is there a new game plus? There is one trophy left that I think I can't do without starting over. I'm at the point of no return (after finishing the story) and it says I have to
but it won't let me do that in town, and
spray someone with cheese?
thats where everyone is. If I have to start from the beginning and go all the way through to unlock sizzling sands to get cheese? that'd be a real PITA
Yeah, I had all the film reels/both parts of the page.
I managed to fix it
by returning to the spot in boiling bay to pick up the other half a second time
So... I finally got round to playing it and, honestly, I hate it.
It's charming enough but the actual gameplay is just... I don't know, not for me. I literally just got the journal, so it's less than an hour of play time but the actual mechanic of catching things just didn't really engage me.
Is it worth going on if I'm already hating it and only starting it?
I'm so sad because I wanted to love it.

What did you expect out of it? It's a puzzle/collectathon game so the solutions get more complicated as you get more tools but I was also really enjoying it even at the start.
If you want to reach a breaking point I would say at least play til the first in game celebration.
