    Cat Quest II is a great improvement over the original. The game offers a teensy bit more variety and a bigger world, so it starts trucking almost instantly. I do wish that your AI co-op buddy was a bit more competent, but that’s a minor gripe. All in all, though, the time flew by and the smile stayed on my face through almost the entire playthrough. This action RPG promises a wonderful treat if you're looking for a pretty dense game.

    If you are up for some cute, simple and potentially cooperative action RPG experience starring a cat and a dog, well this game will be right up your alley. Not too long or complex, yet truly can satiate your hunger for the cute... And some hunger for the action and RPGs. Give it a try! If nothing, it will make you giggle.

    Cat Quest II offers a huge open world full of humor and references. It is purrfect to play cooperatively with action battles full of items, dungeons and magic.

    Cat Quest II is great in its delivery and simplicity that require no further explanation.

    Cat Quest II is a charming little action RPG. Its simple mechanics result in a game which is hugely enjoyable for literally anybody to pick up and play, all backed up by some fantastic design work and infectious humour which never fails to bring a smile to your face. Diehard RPG fanatics might find it's a little on the easy side, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's genuinely good fun to play.

    The world of Cat Quest 2 is sizable, but there isn’t much complexity in its minute-to-minute gameplay. However that directness, along with how quickly you level up, finish quests, and discover new locations, can make it a hard game to put down. You handle one task at a time, so it’s easy to pick back up or add a second player. At 8 to 10 hours or so, depending on your focus and patience, this adventure ends abruptly but doesn’t overstay its welcome. It’s challenging enough for solo players, but also fun for two players of any age and skill level.

    Cat Quest II is an action RPG filled with fun and well-humoured moments, featuring a colourful world and with a simple combat system and even if some sections can get repetitive and there's not much to do after the main campaign is over, this is an overall relaxing and welcome game that only adds another fun option to the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

    Cat Quest II does as any good sequel should, expanding upon the core design of its predecessor whilst also improving things in terms of visuals. Whilst the end result is slightly compromised, the attempt is admirable.

    Nothing about this game is particularly bad or warrants criticism, but at this point the lack of ambition or innovation makes play sessions feel more tedious than anything else.

    this game has everything better than the first in nearly every way its my favorite game and I haven't even beaten the first king i've onlythis game has everything better than the first in nearly every way its my favorite game and I haven't even beaten the first king i've only gotten to the wolflin boss were he goes into three different ones and its my favorite game and so far and it has a good story to im addicted i am always wanting to keep playing in the first game and even more in the second game it also has upgrading instead of buying chests which i love both ways but i think i prefer the upgrading one also the fast travel because of the thing i don't remember the name of and its better because of the bigger world and longer story. also this probably isn't that important to many people but i like the 6 save files thing personally since i like doing challenges that the new game + cat do cus it gives you the ability to raise the levels of enemies and you can have 6 saves you could do naked cat from the first game and also mage only or no spells stuff like that i love to do those and also the first game has many extra side quests and caves like that and the second game has the same and more to i also love the caves/dungeons they are so fun to go in also i like how you get armor and xp and gold and also how you find crates which can be found in caves that give a good amount of gold also the armor is good in this game which in the first game the armor wasn't to good while in this game its certainly not as good as levels but with leveling every 10 levels on armor gives you extra stats per level it does gives a high amount amount considering everything also hotto doggo is good i like how he talks about hot dogs sometimes and also the hot dogs which is fun I always like all the jokes they have about cats and dogs the story is good to i'm not sure if i said that but it is i don't feel like reading this whole thing again best game in my opinion also the single player allie isn't that good he barley attacks but you basically have a second life so its nice but you have to revive yourself as the cat/dog and also having a co-op option is good also this game has one BIG flaw the cat and dog don't have a name… Full Review »

    Fun game - great expansion on cat quest, and the two worlds are a pleasure to explore.
