Cat Quest II

Cat Quest II

[Disclaimer: This review covers both Cat Quest 1 and 2 as I bought the first game while I received a review-copy from the developers through Save or Quit. You can read the full 4.1K word (20K character) review down below with visual aids and a (soon to be done) video.]

Cat Quest: Back to Where It All Furst Began

With the release of Cat Quest 2, it’s difficult to share the same adoration for its predecessor after having played something that takes everything the previous game did so well, yet simply does the same concept so much better. Thankfully, with the release of the Cat Quest 1 & 2 bundle at a reasonable price, I can happily recommend the original as much as the sequel—but it’s quite clear which game is superior. (Psst, Gentlebros, if you were to recreate Cat Quest in the sequel as DLC with reworked dungeons and the same quests and story, I would happily buy that day one.)

Sometimes you will play a game that catches you completely by surprise. Cat Quest 2 was one of those games for me. Sure I could tell it had nice graphics and art style. I had seen the announcement trailers and stuff. But I never played the first one, so how fun could an RPG Lite with a cat and dog actually be? Well, let me just tell you upfront…Gentlebros has delivered an amazing game that I truly enjoyed from the very moment I picked the controller. Honestly its a Purrfect recipe for success. Let’s look at the story first.

BIONICLE: Masks of Power is an all-new open world adventure set in the BIONICLE universe. Currently in development by Team Kanohi, BIONICLE: Masks of Power retells the legendary stories of BIONICLE’s initial launch in 2001. Built from the ground up in Unreal Engine 4, Mata Nui and its inhabitants have been completely re-imagined for the modern day. Revisit beloved locations and characters, enjoy thrilling open-world gameplay and get lost in the BIONICLE universe all over again.

Discover Mata Nui

The ancient tropical island of Mata Nui is home to beautiful vistas, formidable dangers, and countless mysteries. Once a tranquil paradise, Mata Nui’s inhabitants have been cast into shadow by the dark spirit known only as the Makuta. Tribes of brave Matoran villagers struggle to survive, placing their hopes in the arrival of legendary Toa heroes. Discover the island’s six distinct regions, brave its perils, and unlock its secrets in this all-new open-world adventure.

Challenge the Rahi

The dark spirit Makuta has cast his shadow on Mata Nui and its inhabitants. Fearsome Rahi beasts roam the lands, their masks infected with the Makuta’s influence. You must face these formidable guardians on your quest to obtain the Kanohi masks of power and defeat the Makuta.

Find the Power

Play as each of six Toa heroes, prophesied warriors washed ashore on the island’s beaches. Wielders of great elemental power, each Toa must collect the twelve Kanohi masks of power if they hope to challenge the Makuta. It’s up to you to help the Toa complete their quest, find the hidden masks of power, and cast aside the Makuta’s shadow. The fate of Mata Nui is in your hands.

Sword of Hypotenuse

Sword of Hypotenuse

     The bloody truth of the Pythagorean Theorem lies along the Sword of Hypotenuse. Become a squishy tofu ninja and battle your way through the broken Number Line.

     Walk, run, skip, dodge, jump, flip, and dive head first into this isometric 3D (+2.5D?) world filled with weapons - and a bunch of squishy Pythagoreans that want to stop you!.. from stopping them. Its umm, ok let’s back up.

     So, the Pythagoreans want to reconnect the Number Line, but they’re sorta interpreting information they stole - so you know - kinda sketchy - its a whole thing, you’ll see. Talk to some of the characters, it’ll make sense. No math pop quizes, but you will need to think! There’s some different worlds and different permutations depending on how you break stuff, then reconnect it, then brake it again if you need to.

     Find the rare missing Alogon pages from the Sacred Book of Math - err, not the count-y add-y stuff - the fun stuff! Traditional 2D pencil-test animations that help you interpret the story… depending on the interpretation of course!

     In addition to the Story Mode you can also just battle your fellow humans in Battle Mode, or have them pop in to help you fight - maybe even as a squishy tofu shield! There’s also a Classic Mode where you battle waves of increasingly difficult enemies - stop talking and ship the game? OK, got it!

     So, hope you enjoy it! Good luck fixing the broken Number Line Pythagoras broke. May your booleans always be true!

I’ve played this game about 2 hours now, and am totally having fun. I really like the different weapon behaviors, and perks you discover can give you some great effects.

PERKS

It seems like each set of levels you play (kind of a campaign of 5 or so levels) you clear your perks and must discover them throughout the campaign. I had a perk for extra fire damage on primary swing, then another perk for 100% additional fire damage, it was crazy melee time at that point.

Another time I had hits causing “necrotic puddles” that would do damage over time to any monster in it, super cool!

I got a key from the developer so thank you for letting me try your game.

I wanted to try this game because I enjoy top-down horror games like this, sometimes when I was playing I couldn’t pick up items for some reason took me a while to figure out how to get into my inventory but that’s just me i’m thick.

I went to the hospital but couldn’t find any trace of the person I was looking for but again maybe I wasn’t looking in the right place.

Overall I really liked it and gave me retro vibes of playing back in the 80’s and 90’s I made a video with no commentary just having a look at the gameplay.

King of Crabs

King of Crabs

The game is one of the more fun .io games I’ve tried, and most of the reviews being left saying it is pay 2 win are by people who either watched a streamer blow over $700 to get Alien crab or played one match and got clowned on/never learned how to play. There are some very real concerns and issues with the game, but the pay 2 win aspect isn’t one of them.

Pros:

  • The two best crabs in the game (Stone for never losing a fight and Spanner for never dying) are both in the second most common rarity tier. They can be easily unlocked by completely free to play players within the first few hours of playing.

Real player with 112.8 hrs in game

Terribly unbalanced pay to win game with a very limited lifespan. Soon the game will be crawling with Top tier crabs like Alien crabs etc. the game has a pay to respawn system with increasing costs. This was built to encourage “revenge wars” like a crappy scam on habbo. It even puts a skull and crossbones on you killer to get you to attack him again. The game was fun at first but now that players are powerful they can field very powerful crabs that a new player cannot possibly hope to win against. not to mention the fact that there are clans now teaming in larger teams than the 2 man buddy system in a free for all game making it nearly impossible for solo players. this game is dying fast and its the most most ruthless players that are going to kill it. As they say xqc is going to curb stomp till this game has no player base. This game has tons of bugs and other pay to win features. Enemies and NPC crabs can spawn on you and kill you in a heart beat. you can have your best weapon replaced by a stick and then killed with your own king hammer thanks to things appearing under you. Basically be prepared to die randomly sometimes with little or no sense which is very annoying in a survival game.
