Review

Bears In Space isn’t just another addition to the FPS genre; it’s a nostalgic roller-coaster infused with wacky humor and a bullet-hell bonanza that sets it apart. As Maxwell Atoms, paired with Beartana, the She-Bear, players get a unique character-driven tale that’s not only entertaining but as vibrant as the space carnivals and wastelands you'll traverse. It’s a game that captures an early 2000's aura wonderfully, yet modernizes the formula enough to feel both fresh and delightfully retro. While the humor and offbeat gameplay won’t resonate with everyone, its intricate level design and robust content offer a jaunty space escapade that’s hard to put down. Despite some bugs that could bear fixing, Bears In Space is an unexpected gem that's worth the exploration, especially for those looking to bear arms in a far-out bullet frenzy.
