A furry good time
Considering that Cat Quest is a mobile game, it offers quite a lot of content: multiple hours of simplified hack-and-slash gameplay, treasure chests with adorable loot, dozens of quests, and a metric buttload of cat puns.
The story gets a bit groan-worthy toward the end. But that wasn't the reason I was playing this game, anyway. I played it for the cat puns.
So many cat puns.
It's refreshing that Cat Quest doesn't have any in-app purchases or other trite monetization bullshit. (Although there is a quest that explicitly references another game, which itself is ad-supported.) It's a game that you buy and then play.
For what it is, Cat Quest is a satisfying - and sometimes even challenging - action RPG. Although your mileage may vary based on your investment in cat puns.
Better than: Swords & Soldiers, Uncharted: Fortune Hunter (in other words: the few other mobile action games I've played)
Not as good as: Child of Light, Ittle Dew (in other words: a deeper RPG)
The game hints at a sequel or expansion, with dogs: I hope it's a good boy.
