Bugsnax
What kind of game is this? Bugsnax is a quirky first-person adventure game and is also one of the launch titles for the PS5.

According to our colleagues at GamePro, the game is filled with many exciting ideas and fun gameplay mechanics. There are also many small puzzles and dark, quirky humor. Technically, however, the game is not a masterpiece.

If you have subscribed to PS Plus, you will gain access to the PS Plus Collection right at launch. This includes 20 games, among them several classics from the PS4 era, like Monster Hunter World or Persona 5.
