This game commits the ultimate sin: its boring. Very very very very very boring. You played the first 15 minutes of it? Congratulations, you have seen EVERYTHING this game has to offer. I finished the first game, and although I found it lacking, I remember being ok with it. But this game adds nothing to it. In fact, it makes some stuff worse than the first. The gameplay is still the same button mashing garbage. Mash the attack button, dodge when you see red. You would think that eventually it gets a bit better, but no, it gets worse. Every spell is now an area attack, which makes these big flashy floor effects, blocking the view from the enemy attacks. Eventually you unlock a dodge attack move, and that almost ruined combat for me. Using it causes you to magnetically lunge towards an enemy, and the dodge roll doesn't gives you invulnerability frames, making you hurl yourself into an attack. Everything else this game offers is either time wasting or NOTHING. The map is huge, filled with NOTHING. You walk forever to reach somewhere. There are a lot dungeons with less variation than the ones in Oblivion and Skyrim, and all their rewards are garbage. The only thing you can find is equipment, and more often than not I was getting levels for starting equipment, making all these dungeons a literal waste of time. I LOVED doing a late game dungeon and getting 8 levels to my FIRST WEAPON. The story is boring, typical "you are the chosen one, go forth and fight" cookie-cutter stuff. There is a small twist that is interesting, but it can't salvage the overall plot. All villains are the "I win because I said so" type, until the Power of Friendship(TM) makes you win. All quests and side quests are "get item, kill thing". Enemy AI is terrible and all they do is spam whatever attack is off cooldown and walk towards you. The main "challenge" are either enemies that outlevel you or the sheer spam of attacks they do. All you do is wait for the enemies to spam their attacks, hit them a bit, then run away for the next line of attacks. And the comedy in this game is entirely based on replacing words with cat/dog related stuff. Paw, whisker, fur, purr, puss, woof, bark. That is the extent of the comedy you will find. Really, there is basically nothing worth looking in this game. The art might be cute, but its still a boring, repetitive, button mashing, mobile looking game. At least the characters no longer swear every other word.
More of the same from the first game, but improved. It cost only £10.00 for all three CQ games on sale, which is a steal. It's basically a very simplified Elder Scrolls game. You go on fetch or kill quests, there's simple RPG elements, gear, weapons, spells. The art style is really nice. The humour was fun. I'd give this a solid 8/10, it's an improvement on CQ1. On sale it's great value. Achievements - nothing online or missable. Mew Game+ playthroughs are thankfully not required like they were on the first game. Can do it all in one playthrough, in around 12 hours.
Even better than the first game, especially because you can now play 2-player co-op with a friend! Playing as a cat and a dog together is super fun, and the combat and magic feel much smoother. It still gets a bit repetitive after a while, but it's an awesome game to play together. 8.5/10
