    So why did they get rid of the cat? Like did the mum not KNOW that the cat was in the back seat? And then she just casts it out into the wilderness? I don't get it. Other than that its it made my son cry at the start. I can't also get a black hare so its stupid so i can't get any further in the game.

    This game is one of the most boring games I've ever played. The only fun part is killing mice. It's an ugly game. The pixelised cats are cute, and nothing else. Everything looks exactly the same. Exploring isn't enjoyable. I paid about 5 bucks for the game on sale, and that's probably the perfect price. I was surprised to find that this game had so many favorable reviews.

I was surprised to find that this game had so many favorable reviews. It's worse than Harvest Moon: Light of Hope. And that's saying something. I gave it a 4 because I like the concept, I like the animal artwork, but I rarely play the game anymore. I was only able to stand it for about 20 hours before giving up on anything interesting happening.… Expand

    The entire game is one long series of fetch quests and grinding currency. The map is close to useless and the hunting minigame which is needed to not be constantly starving is absolutely terrible; prey will hear you and run away before you’re in pouncing distance no matter how slowly you move, and you cannot run fast enough to catch them.

    Despite the repetitiveness, Cattails does provide a lot of different things to do from romancing other cats, to starting your own community of cats. It offers something different from the usual RPG game and is well worth checking out if you are tired of the cookie cutter RPGs out there.

    Cattails is a surprisingly-polished and well-made game for a little indie title. The controls are easy to use, the mechanics are solid and the visuals are bright, colorful and cute. Again, it maybe lacks some of the vibrant detail of other open-world sims, and the fighting is a bit too simple. Dialogue with other cats can be fun but more response options could be added. Overall, though, the gameplay experience is an engaging one that will easily take 20-plus hours of your life away if you let it – but hey, you’ve still got eight more. If you love Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, or just cats, you’ll find this game to be a near-purrfect choice.

    Fans of felines looking for a relaxing survival exploration game for their Switch will fall in love with Cattails. Its strange world has a certain charm that I've never experienced before and I'm sure you'll agree.
