About

Journey to a mysterious new island where the Bugsnax are truly enormous! You’ll need to master new mechanics like the Shrink Spice, which can cut the giant Bugsnax down to a catchable size. Joining you are Chandlo, Floofty, Triffany, and Shelda, who will explore both the island’s long-forgotten history, and more of their own personal stories. Back in Snaxburg, you’ll finally have your very own hut! You can take on challenges from your mailbox to earn furniture and accessories to customize your living space. These challenges put a few twists in the gameplay, and will shake up how you explore and catch!

    As a free expansion, Isle of Bigsnax adds some great additional value to this game and is a nice treat for those who enjoyed playing through Bugsnax initially. It doesn't fundamentally change the core elements of what makes Bugsnax so enjoyable, but it was never meant to.

    Bugsnax’s The Isle of BIGsnax is a great reason to revisit Snacktooth. Whether you’re a seasoned journalist or catching your first Strabby on a new platform, you really can’t go wrong with this delightful adventure.

    I guess the best way to sum this up is to say, as a returning Bugsnax player, I would have greatly appreciated all of the new features found on Snacktooth Island during my original playthrough of the game. As for The Isle of Bigsnax, it’s a decent diversion, but not much more.

    On the surface, The Isle of Bigsnax feels like just another Bugsnax biome. Arrive, catch new 'snax, complete missions and watch the story unfold, and then head back to Snaxburg. That's not bad, per se--it's more Bugsnax after all--but it's also not a reinvention. However, the quality-of-life improvements--like fast travel and the mailing system--make this update a fantastic addition to the core game.
