There is genuinely nothing redeeming about this game. The level design is terrible and repetitive. There are moments where you have to absolutely be so pin point accurate and if you mess up you have to go so far back and restart parts of the level. Not just that, but if you are trying to get the medals for the armadillo, there are moments they will place them right next to the end of the level and if you miss, you have to restart the entire mission. I don’t even want to play through these missions ONCE, let alone again just to get something the level designers decided to screw with the players. It is so unbelievably repetitive too that there is no feeling of progression. Playing through the same damned levels three times is just absurd. This is genuinely one of the most frustrating games I have played, and one of the worst I have played. There isn’t even enough goofy failures like in Bubsy 3D that I can at least laugh at. Everything is just uninspired and frustrating. I had more fun with Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties, and that is barely a game period. At least that game made me laughwith its absurdity. Paws On Fire is genuinely one of the worst games I have ever played.

An auto-run platformer isn't the worst idea ever, but for 2019 and the amount of other platformers that were released before Bubsy: Paws On Fire, this game just makes no sense. I know Bubsy 3D showed that Bubsy didn't really turn out well with full 3D environments like Super Mario 64, but giving that another chance would have been way better than this. The game does have some really good colors, but overall the gameplay was super repetitive and boring. I found it ironic that the gameplay was extended by requiring you to play the exact same levels again with just different characters. Playing as different characters is cool, but after one play through each it gets old pretty quickly. If this game was cheaper and released on phones and tablets I wouldn't see it as that bad, but for a $20+ title that was released on PS4 in 2019, I don't see this is a full game. I did fully 100% of the game, but that was a true task, and came to be tough with how boring the gameplay got. Maybe at a discount, the game is worth it, but I don't see people spending that much time playing it.

It's bloody Bubsy, enough said. Fine, I guess I'll say more. It's repetitive, keeps whatever you'd call Bubsy's personality, and it somehow is bloody inconsistent from the rest of the games it's like Meat Boy Forever but with Bubsy's franchise. and we know how that turned out with an actually decent platformer, so heaven pray Bubsy dies soon.
