A cat and a dog saving a kingdom, with feline puns everywhere.

This is the profile of a likeable game nobody takes with them. Fun holds the average, rediscovery and art style float just below without disgracing themselves. But attachment falls to the very bottom, ahead of only 6% of games, and the desert island question is barely higher. The controller feel lags too, which is a surprise for an action game this immediate. The soundtrack has a single duel behind it, so nothing to settle there yet.

Against the big action RPGs, the picture is clear: Cat Quest II is short, light, built to be played two on a couch. It is not competing with the worlds you live inside for a hundred hours, and the community is reminding it of that.

So, who is it for? For you if you like an RPG that gets straight to the point, cute, playable in local co-op with zero friction. Much less so if you want a game that leaves a lasting mark, or an adventure you will still remember in ten years.
