This review contains spoilers

For the first two hours of playing this, I liked progressing and moving from place to place but couldn't identify a deep narrative or engaging gameplay. Long-ass fetch quests are the bane of my existence so seeing one within the first hour and a half into the game got me a little scared it would become a recurring theme, but it didn't, thank god. Toward the back half of the game, I really started enjoying myself as I explored Midtown, a much larger, more detailed area. They also introduced stealth segments I felt should have been in the game from the beginning, considering sneaking around as a cat is so fun. The story also stuck the landing as B-12, the companion robot, started leaking deets about his past life as a human, a welcome twist that gave the narrative the edge it so desperately needed. Overall, well worth $30, and that best indie debut award it found at the VGAs this year.
