    A big step down from Cat Quest 1.

    The biggest problem is the fact you're forced to play with someone or endure extremely unintelligent AI controlling your second character. If I'm playing this single player, like I did the first game, I want to control ONE character, not switch between two. I feel like I'm being punished for playing solo. Also, the equipment screens are terrible and    A big step down from Cat Quest 1.

    Also, the equipment screens are terrible and unintuitive. It feels so painful just to equip a piece of gear.

    Finally, it's almost exactly the same as the first game. I was really hoping for more new spells, more new mechanics, more new ANYthing. Rather disappointed.    … Expand

    Overall I had a decent time with Cat Quest II. It doesn’t have a super deep story or gameplay that pushes the gaming industry forward but I still had a great time playing it cooperatively. It is very evident that Cat Quest II is a game that was created for the young at heart due to its simple gameplay. This can be seen as both a pro and a con.

    The pro is that the game can be picked up    Overall I had a decent time with Cat Quest II.

It is very evident that Cat Quest II is a game that was created for the young at heart due to its simple gameplay. This can be seen as both a pro and a con.

    The pro is that the game can be picked up and shared with someone very easily. There are a few combat systems a player will need to learn but they’re very easy to follow thanks to the plentiful amount of tutorials the game provides. The con comes from playing this game solo. The gameplay can get very repetitive if you’re playing by yourself as you’ll find yourself doing basically the same task over and over again. The simplicity can be a pro for an inexperienced gamer but if you’re looking for rich systems and deep gameplay I would look elsewhere.

    If you’re looking for a game to play with a friend or loved one that’s beginner friendly and makes for a decent experience then check out Cat Quest II.    … Expand

    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.

    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 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.
