    Hey SwitchUP Family - Whether you’re a cat or a dog person (or neither) this is going to appeal to fans of CO-OP ARPG goodness. Such a reasonable price for the quality of game as well. Anyone picking this up? Mark

      @richparkinson9647 Před 4 lety

      SwitchUp most definitely grabbing this one. I was able to jump in and out easily of the first one without trying to remember things. I also easily lost track of time playing the first. Great game.

      SwitchUp I had thought about the first game to try with the kids. But with this having actual coop that’s tempting.

    • @richparkinson9647
      @richparkinson9647 Před 4 lety +1

      Cory the first game is only 1 player, but it is still a great one for the kids.

      when I bought my switch I had no money for games right away. I think cat quest 1 was on sale at the time. it's the first game I ever bought and beat on switch. I also ended up buying it physical. preordered the second. Devs said we get a physical if it sells well. cant wait to play!!!!

    This game looks like a wonderful distraction. Judging from the comments, the first one was very well received and that price point makes it even more attractive. That is a yes for me.

    I finished the original Cat Quest over the weekend coincidentally enough! It was bite sized but addictive gaming. The hours kinda just disappeared and when I looked up it was 1:30am! They managed to distill the ARPG essentials into a light hearted game that anyone could pick up and have a good time with. I'm glad this continued into the 2nd game. They'll prob bundle the 1st and 2nd game together physically.

    I was looking for a Secret of Mana type local coop game for my small kids that are gaming for the first time. So glad I found this gem. They absolutely love it and it is their first day playing. It has more complicated mechanics than Secret of Mana or any SNES game for sure but no where near as complicated as any other ARPG such as Diablo series that would require at least 8 yr olds to get into. This game is just the perfect game to introduce kids into gaming

    Hey SwitchUp, this is kind of offtopic for this review but I would suggest to include information on the possibility to invert the camera axes in future reviews. I recall Jedi Knight 2 and lately Dusk DIver which do not allow players to invert the y-axis (at least not at release). This would have been a very crucial information for me and I think a lot of other players too. Best regards!

    Gameplay looks boring and samey. I can't see any inventive puzzles or mysteries that made games like A Link to the Past so magical. Looks beautiful though - can't fault the visuals.
