The biggest disappointment of 2022. I was so excited for this game, and every moment that actually let you play a video game was some of the most fun I've had in a long time. Which is exactly why it pains me so much to give it 1.5 stars. This is a game that actively does not want you to play it, and that stops at every opportunity it can to not be a game about playing as a cat. If you're enjoying the platforming, don't get used to it, because you have about 3 minutes until you get stopped by a robot who spouts exposition at you and tells you to go fetch a bottle of soap or whatever in a city with nothing interesting. A half hour later, you leave and you're playing through some of the best platforming of the decade, but whoops! It's been 4 minutes, and now you're in another city, and it's time to listen to a conversation you don't care about so you can be told to go do nothing somewhere else. I cannot believe this game received so much praise; do people solely remember the peaks and forget the painful, painful valleys?

Someone PLEASE make a game exactly like this but with just the platforming-as-a-cat parts. It would be the game of the decade.
