Yesterday I reviewed 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bugsnax's new DLC, The Isle of Bigsnax, and you may well have come away from that review thinking I was not particularly fond of the game. I found the new home customisation mechanic to be a disappointment that makes you work too hard to enjoy its fruits, the silly little hats were too little in quantity, and the Bigsnax, bafflingly, were not that big. Actually, they were huge, but in order to catch them you needed to make them tiny again, which seemed to defeat the point. It's true, on all three new features, I was left disappointed. But I just love those Bugsnax so darn much that I can't stay mad at it. Maybe they're absorbing my soul from the inside out and are parasitically controlling my mind, compelling me to love them, to consume them. In any case, I want to talk to you about my new best friend, the Clawbsteroni.
There is an art to a good Bugsnax. It's why we all love the Kwookie and the Bunger. Much like a Pokemon, which Bugsnax clearly takes inspiration from, there is a right way and a wrong way. The soda can 'snax might be decent if there weren't so many of them, but they all feel a little samey. You can have a few dupes that riff on the theme (neither Kwookie nor Bunger are unique), but the soda cans and the Snackpods both feel a little phoned in. You also can't be too complex (Picantis), too simple (Eggler), or too ugly (Buffalocust). Those three come from the same region, which if you ask me is a region positively loaded with stinkers, but you get the idea. Much like Pokemon, we'll disagree on our exact favourites, but we're largely in agreement that Dragonair has a better design than Probopass.
I'm not sure what my favourite design of the original 100 is. Charmallow comes to mind instantly, but I'm also factoring how nice it would taste (Bugsnax taste like what they look like, no?), as well as the fact it causes the Big Bopsicles to have the slow and fiery deaths they deserve. As the only alcoholic 'snax, I'm also partial to a Snaquiri, but I understand that's a niche choice. The Flutterjam and Sprinklepede come to mind too. Maybe I just have a sweet tooth.
I do, however, know what my favourite of the new 'snax are, and as you should have guessed by now, that would be my aforementioned best friend the Clawbsteroni. Unlike the sweeter 'snax I've just mentioned, the Clawbsteroni is a lobster made of pasta. It has macaroni legs and a tail, with claws, thorax, and abdomen made of conchiglie, better known as 'seashell pasta', one of the most underrated pasta shapes. My main issue with the Bigsnax is that they don't need to be so big. The Bunger Royale is just a big Bunger. Big whoop. The Cellystix is big celery, and while it's a bit of a play on ants on a log, it just doesn't need to be that big. None of the Bigsnax need to be particularly big at all, they're just regular Bugsnax that have been blown up bigger for the purposes of the gimmick. Sure, the Pielobite wouldn't need to be hit with the Snakgrappler so many times if it was smaller, and a few others rely on their size to bring in unique mechanics, but the Clawbsteroni has enough detail in its design, and suits the blown up size, to feel like the perfect Bigsnax.
Unfortunately🍸, like most Bigsnax, catching it is all too easy and just a matter of shrinking and tripping it. Still, who would want to catch it? Just let it roam wild and free, like a pasta lobster should.
