Developer: The Gentlebros
Publisher: PQube 
Platforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, PC
Trailers: Cat Quest | Cat Quest II | Cat Quest III


The Cat Quest series consists of three action RPGs: Cat Quest (released in 2017 for PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC and Android/iOS), Cat Quest II (released in 2019 for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC and Android/iOS) and Cat Quest III (released in 2024 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, XSX, Nintendo Switch, PC and Android/iOS). The games follow a cat adventurer in a magical fantasy land of cats and dogs. With each entry in the series comes enhancements to the combat and game play, with Cat Quest III introducing sailing the open seas. The games are action oriented with a top-down view. They feature fairly large world maps with lots of caves and dungeons to explore and find loot to upgrade your weapons and armor. While the games remain on the relatively easy side, offering up a comfortable gaming experience, the post-game "Mew Game Plus" does offer up the ability to put multiple restrictions on the player for a more challenging second play through. Modifiers include things such as Level 1, No Changing Equipment, 1 Life, Enhanced Enemies and more.

Each game is pretty short, allowing for a fun casual experience while not being a major time sink. I was able to complete the 100% for Cat Quest in 14 hours, while Cat Quest II only took me 10 hours to 100%. This is with the Steam version of Cat Quest being harder to 100% than the console versions, because it requires playing through the game an additional three times with Mew Game Plus modifiers on to get the equipment reward from them (you need to play once with one modifier, a second time with two modifiers and then finally a third time with three modifiers active at one time). Which I guess you could say makes the Steam version of the first Cat Quest game the hardest to complete if you want all achievements.

If you like fun games that offer a cute aesthetic, lots of cats and of course we can't forget about the endless stream of furry cat puns the game throws at you, then you will find the Cat Quest games to be a grand time. They can often be found in Steam sales for around $5-$10, which, in my opinion, is well worth the price for what you get out of the games.

As a side note, unfortunately for people who like to collect physical copies like me, getting Cat Quest II on PS4 is a bit more expensive now. It only came in a "Pawsome Pack" with Cat Quest and Cat Quest II, but it is sold out every where and now the only way to get a copy is from a reseller on eBay. I ended up paying around $60 for a sealed copy of it because I really wanted it for my collection after playing the two games on Steam, and while that was about a $20 markup from the retail price, it was worth it to me for my collection. Switch copies can still be had for the retail price of $39.99 though. PS5 copies of Cat Quest III can be found on Amazon going for a sale price pretty often (they're actually on sale right now for $17, which I'll probably cop one for myself for that price).

Anyways, enough of me rambling and trying to be a salesman for the games. These are really fun games an for the price you can often find them, I really don't think you can go wrong with them. Especially if you have someone to play Cat Quest 2 and 3 co-op with. These games are really fun as single-player, I imagine they are even more enjoyable with someone to play them with. Just keep in mind that the co-op for these games is local co-op and not online.]]> [Image: ce32dff120ec105ad78aa35e80b1b4b1549a6ea2...807fc40c6f]

It's looking more likely that EA won't be the only company bringing back college basketball to video games. A new report states that 2K Sports is reaching out to universities about being included in the game--which will be a standalone release not tied to the popular NBA 2K franchise.

2K Sports has reportedly contacted power programs Michigan St., Houston, and UCLA about their involvement in the College Hoops 2K revival, per Sports Business Journal. The game is apparently aiming to feature 100 programs, with women's teams represented as well. A previous report pointed to 2K proposing college basketball DLC for the NBA 2K series. Then, the company could evaluate a possible standalone release afterward, according to the obtained document.

At the start of this month, the official NBA 2K account on X teased that a college basketball game was in the works. This came quickly after EA officially announced a new college basketball game, although no release window has been revealed quite yet.

It's been 16 years since there was any sort of college basketball video game. College Hoops 2K8 was the last entry in that series, arriving in 2007; meanwhile, NCAA Basketball 10 was the last installment from EA in 2009.]]> https://www.gamespot.com/articles/2k-spo...0-6533301/

Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed being the only Sonic racer I've played in the past, I wasn't interested in the following game that made it purely Sonic characters, and this one looked to do the same. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the Sonic universe and it's characters, the other Sonic racers were the Rider games and I wasn't interested in them either. However I did adore Transformed, being basically close to or being on par with my favourite Racer games, Mario Kart Double Dash and Mario Kart Wii, and on par with Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled that I would get after Transformed.

I was mildly interested from the reveal trailer some months ago (1st video), then Summer Game Fest trailer came out, and admittedly I wasn't into the game straight away. However with Miku, Ichiban and Joker were going to be added in, it opened up the cross over/Sega All-Star aspect again. What's more is a Minecraft pack as DLC too, and that there will be more packs to be revealed as well. Not only that, it was recently revealed 10 more characters are also set alongside Miku, Ichiban and Joker so these may be the Sega characters, with the Season Pass packs being more third party oriented.

[Image: _im1kcKnYJWJ_jDSx7d6qKUmxKpqbH8nNynCs2QC...0-rw-nd-v1]

As far as I am aware, these three are new to the Sonic (Sega All-Stars) line up, or at least racing wise, so will there be any others from their series, other new all-stars from Sega or could there be some of the old All-Stars to re-join the race? I'd imagine Super Monkey Ball will get a rep, hoping Golden Axe gets a character rep or track since Adder's Lair was my favourite track from Transformed, along with Race of Ages. NiGHTS is another possibility.

Unfortunately there have been some leaks I got myself exposed to, though I didn't check the full details if they are or are not DLC packs, only the title of series/franchise, but I assume they are DLC packs, which leaves one I'm not sure of that wasn't mentioned. Darn it, also darn me looking about on YouTube posts/comments.  Doh

"Dominion of Darkness” is a free RPG/strategy text game in which the player takes on the role of a Sauron-style Lord of Darkness with the goal of conquering the world. He will carry out his plans by making various decisions. He will build his army and send it into battles, weave intrigues and deceptions, create secret spy networks and sectarian cults, recruit agents and commanders, corrupt representatives of Free Peoples and sow discord among them, collect magical artifacts and perform sinister plots. Note – one game takes about 1 hour, but the premise is that the game can be approached several times, each time making different decisions, getting different results and discovering something new.

We fused card games and roguelikes together to make the best single player deckbuilder we could. Craft a unique deck, encounter bizarre creatures, discover relics of immense power, and Slay the Spire!

Features
  • Dynamic Deck Building: Choose your cards wisely! Discover hundreds of cards to add to your deck with each attempt at climbing the Spire. Select cards that work together to efficiently dispatch foes and reach the top.
  • An Ever-changing Spire: Whenever you embark on a journey up the Spire, the layout differs each time. Choose a risky or safe path, face different enemies, choose different cards, discover different relics, and even fight different bosses!
  • Powerful Relics to Discover: Powerful items known as relics can be found throughout the Spire. The effects of these relics can greatly enhance your deck through powerful interactions. But beware, obtaining a relic may cost you more than just gold...
Slay the Spire left Early Access and comes with:
  • Four characters that each have their own unique set of cards.
  • 350+ fully implemented cards.
  • 200+ different items to be found.
  • 50+ unique combat encounters.
  • 50+ mysterious events that can help or harm you.
  • Daily Climbs allow you to compare yourself with every other player in the world.
  • Custom mode that allows mixing and matching various crazy run modifiers.


Man, I have become heavily addicted to this game since trying it out for the first time a few days ago, and although I have yet to win a run (not counting daily runs because they have custom rules) despite having probably done like 20+ of them so far this game never makes it feel discouraging somehow.

Welcome to your first day of opening your first card shop. In this game you open your first shop and open packs in order to lvl up your store. I have been playing this since launch. There are nexus mods for this for Pokemon cards, to make the shop look how you want (other then brown and white), YuGiOh card mods, a Genshin card mod, DBZ cards, along with a few others I found. I installed the mod to where I can change out the colors in my store. I plan to install the YuGiOh card mod since I've seen most streamers playing the Pokemon card mod.

This game is in early access as the devs have said they are currently working on the card game & how it will work when they add it in. :3 Is anyone else playing this or interested in this game? I have really been enjoying it.]]>

Was not expecting this to be revealed during today's State of Play, and I wondered what this game was going to actually be when the streamer I was watching the SoP through noted that the date of this games setting is hundreds of years apart from Ghost of Tsushima (that game takes place in 1274). I did always wonder what could really be done for a sequel to GoT, but it never crossed my mind to just do another game in the same universe but completely separated from GoT.

I'm excited to see more and intrigued with what this game will do with the character/story that fits the vibe of being "the Ghost" but without retreading what GoT did.]]>

What if you woke up from a simulation of Earth and you find yourself in a town full of animals who you are very close to you? You don't have to gift them anything, and everyone knows you pretty well? That is Everafter Falls. I think of it as Stardew Valley minus the dating but with cute animals and one robot you built apparently.

I have been playing this every day, and the story is pretty interesting. I won't spoil anything but those of you who like Stardew I think would enjoy this more since there is more fighting stuff in the dungeon along with bosses, which I have been enjoying. So far I have beaten the first boss, and have opened up the dungeon to a second area. Should be interesting to see what happens as I keep heading deeper in.]]>
