8/13/2023 0 Comments Super cat tales 2 robo kittyThe cool cyberpunk city feel with all the neon lights and random Japanese feel items like vending machines, lanterns, hats, city areas etc.A heart warming story of robots with emotions.The puzzles weren’t anything like the hell in Abyss (though I did get frustrated at times but mostly at the awful scene of your cat dying when you failed a puzzle mechanic that I was sick of seeing over and over…).Beautifully designed graphics and world.Adorable realistic kitty cats that you can make meow at will, rub against things, sleep next to or on top of robots, scratch things and as all cats, knock random things off tables and counters.So that’s basically the plot and now I will go into what I liked and disliked about the game. Instead you pick up bits and pieces as you go, usually narrated to you by the poddo about how there is some kind of pandemic which everyone thought could be contained simply by sacrificing everyone below them, which as you’ll obviously notice immediately was not the case. Fortunately it’s not as insultingly ham-fisted as you see in a lot of games where like, a skeleton will be posed in a dramatic position with an audio diary next to it. So now it’s up to our orange furry hero to work with his newly made robo-friends to get out of the shelter through a slew of puzzles, bacteria and killer robots from the Sewers, to the Slums, to Midtown and finally to the Outside.Īs with most games that are big on exploring, there’s a lot of ~lore~ to be found through environmental storytelling. I guess nature finally healed and plants and animals started growing again which is why our hero kitty had his kitty family outside while there wasn’t a single living organism, except mutant bacteria, in the enclosed shelter. All of this of course happened because humans destroyed the world with a pandemic (lol covid/monkeypox) and created an underground shelter running off into it but ended up perishing there as well. The only way to stop them of course is to give them some good ol’ UV rays but that’s not possible because the entire area is sealed off from the outside sunlight. Now the part that obviously is not like Nier Automata is that the game is about solving environmental puzzles rather than action combat, but still the vibes are there. But how little did I know just how correct my joke would be! Most of the game consists of talking to melancholy robots while your pod named 2B B-12 follows you around. I was just kind of joking at first about Nier Automata since the music in the first scene sounds just like the opening title music in Nier Automata, combined then with it looking like some of the city ruins. Unfortunately it multiplied and went out of control and now it basically eats anything and everything, including metal so even the robots down there fear it. The tiny bacteria that existed in the human world, was mutated for composting reasons and to eat all the garbage in the slums. Well here we have something similar but more disgusting: Mutant bacteria. ![]() ![]() If you’ve played Nier Automata, you may remember how there’s constantly this army of robots who attack 2B and 9S because the network tells them to attack all intruders etc. Welcome to Nuke Automata, where the entire world is void of human life, with only robots left behind living the memories of their human creators without knowing why they are doing so. Everything is adorable as hell, they have the most realistic meows (voice acted by actual cats rather than stock noises) and then due to a catastrophic accident, our hero orange kitty falls down super far below into an abandoned contamination shelter where there are no signs of human life. The game starts off as you, a stray kitty, many many years into the future, in some sewage area with your kitty friends. ⚠️Warning: This review contains spoilers. In order to avoid spoilers I basically ignored all info about the game other than “Cyberpunk and cat” which put me in for an unpleasant surprise. So because I love every kind of cat and I just want to hug every cat, I decided to get Stray on Steam as it got released this past week.
