▶ TL;DRCat Quest II is a cozy, fast-paced little adventure that’s perfect for players who want something light and fun. It’s charming, witty, and surprisingly engaging, especially in co-op. We went in expecting “just a cute filler game” and ended up playing the next title right after, which says a lot. If you’re in the mood for cute cats, goofy humor, and bite-sized adventure, this one is definitely worth the 12 hours.
It was a Friday night with no plans. You know the kind... too tired to go out, too awake to just sleep. So I and my partner grabbed the controllers and started browsing PS5 co-op games, looking for something light, easy, and maybe a little bit silly.
That’s when Cat Quest II appeared.
(Well, technically, its reviews appeared first. The game itself looks… cute. Very cute.)
To be honest, 2D cartoon cats and dogs aren’t usually my style. I’m more into emotional storytelling adventures or cozy fantasy worlds. But, come on, it’s a cat and a dog! Who can resist that duo? It wasn’t expensive, so we thought, “Sure, why not?”
🚨We hadn’t played Cat Quest I before, but spoiler alert 🚨: we liked this one enough to play Cat Quest III right after.
+ PROS
- Easy play & Great couch co-op
- Fast paced and satisfying addictive combet
- Cute and smart humor with cat and dog puns
− CONS
- Story is light - not much depth
- Quests can start to feel a bit similar over time
Story and Setting
In Cat Quest II, you play as two royal heroes: a cat and a dog. They have been dethroned from their kingdoms. Now, they must work together to reclaim their thrones and restore peace to both realms: the feline kingdom of Felingard and the canine kingdom of Lupus.
The story unfolds like a lighthearted prophecy 'the kings shall return to unite the two realms' but it never takes itself too seriously. It’s full of witty puns, playful dialogue, and just enough adventure to keep you invested without feeling heavy. And... throughout the game, you continue hearing the and sounds, which are surprisingly satisfying.
