Neat collection of some of the best classic platformers ever. Only problem is it doesn't include X5 (which was the last good game in the series.)

I will definitely post a detailed review at some point, but I'm just too early in the game to do so.
However, as a long-time Skyrim buff playing this for the first time.... it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unreal. So good.

This is the greatest game I've ever played.
For years, I've slowly lost my mind as Nintendo screws up the Paper Mario series over and over again. In fact, it's been 16 years since they made TTYD, my former favourite game.
Now, Bug Fables scratches that decade-and-a-half long itch.
It is everything I've ever wanted.
The storyline is robust and charming. The characters and writing are hilarious and engaging. The combat is crisp, smooth, and has a surprising amount of depth.
Don't even get me started on the side content: for some reason, Steam has glitched and only shows that I've played for 36 hours, but I've easily got more than 70 hours in.
A lot of that is just playing the incredibly deep side game, Spy Cards. Plus hunting down every collectible (which all help you immensely), completing the MANY sidequests, messing around in the arcade, playing the boss rush mode, etcetera, etcetera.
Also, the music and graphics are amazing. Such a beautiful visual style. A couple of my favourite tracks are "They Call Him Spuder" and "Mothiva! SUPERSTAR!" In fact, I made the latter my ringtone I love it so much.
The only flaw I can think of is the overworld puzzles can be slightly janky at times, but it might have you stuck for a couple of minutes three or four times throughout the whole game.
PLAY THIS. IT IS A MASTERFUL ACHIEVEMENT IN VIDEOGAME HISTORY.
