Can we get Catsassins Creed Felhalla, all the tropes of AC, but from a cats perspective, sneaking through cities and windows performing heists from the humans.
It's not exactly 1:1 AC, you play as a cat where you get to jump around on buildings in a cyberpunk style city solving puzzles and generally causing chaos. One of the best games I've ever played and you can complete it in around 5-6 hours.
They can jump so high it’s equivalent to a human leap frogging over a giraffe and have such incredible spatial awareness they can turn themselves mid-fall to land on their feet because their vestibular senses are off the damn chart.
Also they’re one of the most critically invasive animals on the entire planet. The havoc and destruction they have caused in ecosystems all around the world is nearly unmatched by anything but humans. They are single-handedly responsible for at least sixty-three extinctions including the near extinction of another cat variety.
Cats also have a reflex impulse that has significant overlap with snakes. So they can strike as fast as, or quicker than, a snake can strike. Of course, that also means some cats aren't quite as fast as snakes...
A semi spoiler, but not really, because it's a game, and almost every game out there has death:
You can turn off the "death" animations. Idgaf if people are dismembered with limbs flying about in games, but a little orange fuzzy dude? NOPE. Turned that crap off right quick.
Also, and this is the single spoiler I required to play the game: does the cat survive? Yes, the cat survives
I didn't know you could turn off the animation, I saw it the first time and immediately said "no." I got good and didn't die again. Not a single other game has ever made me lock in that much, but I will never see that animation again
I lucked out then, I'm consol so exclusively use a controller. It also helps that the mechanics were easy to figure out, otherwise I don't think I would have been able to finish the game
It was way too short. Just being real, I spent like 3 hours longer in the very first area than I needed to just jumping around being a cat. Clawing furniture and knocking things off edges
Oh shit. I might actually play the game now. I’m very, very not squeamish. But I’m also dad to three orange boys. Definitely not watching that over and over.
I mean, the deaths aren't horrifying and gorey, they're just the cat flopping over. But I don't need to see that, because it just makes me sad. At one point the cat limps for a minute, but apparently is magically healed and then he's fine.
It's mostly just running about, solving puzzles, interacting with NPCs who are utterly puzzled by your existence in the cutest way possible, and knocking shit over. At one point you can walk through paint and leave little footprints in your wake. It's cute AF, and I highly recommend it.
