Bradley the Badger might be a resurrection of the mascot platformer genre, something quite unexpected for the PC scene. This new mascot platformer starring the first furry badger to appear in a video game is quite crazy in concept. Use your game developer powers to open your way through abandoned and discarded game worlds, in an attempt to make Bradley’s world come back. Being yanked from reality while he was sleeping Bradley the Badger finds himself stranded far from his home, and his friends are also lost too. If you think you can help him, perhaps you should try to do so.
Bradley the Badger looks interesting
Along with the new Mega Man game, Bradley the Badger seems quite promising as the main feature is trying to make your way through abandoned levels from different parodies to games that exist such as Bloodborne. To do so you can use your development kit to create assets, platforms and pretty much edit the level in any way you want. This provides an amazing depth of gameplay similar to the one provided by Donkey Kong Bananza which is one of the most groundbreaking games of the moment if you ask me.
By using your developer powers, you can also restore the old glory of that level coming from a game stuck in development hell, but its up to you on attempting to do so. Your main task is to save your homeland and find your friends, so don’t get too crazy trying to shape the world in any way you like despite you having the power to do so, or maybe do if you want. The Game Awards 2025 wasn’t the best, but reveals like this are what makes the show worth it, if you are interested in trying out this new game you can wishlist it on Steam.
