  • Charming hand-drawn artwork and festive scenes create a cozy atmosphere for players.
  • The game offers a relaxing experience with a satisfying cat-finding challenge, perfect for casual play.
  • The option to switch between color and black-and-white modes adds visual variety and can help with spotting hidden cats.
  • Some cats are extremely small or poorly designed, making them difficult to identify as actual cats.
  • The gameplay can feel repetitive and lacks depth, with little variation beyond the basic find-the-cat mechanic.
  • Hints can be too frequent and the zooming feature can be buggy, detracting from the overall experience.
  • graphics
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of "100 New Year Cats" are characterized by a cozy and colorful art style that enhances the relaxing gameplay experience, with charming hand-drawn visuals that feature seasonal details. While some reviewers noted the artwork's simplicity and lack of depth compared to previous titles, many appreciated the vibrant colors and overall aesthetic, making it a pleasant visual treat for fans of the genre. However, the minimalist approach received mixed feedback, with some finding it less engaging and repetitive.

    • “The hand-drawn artwork is colorful, warm, and full of tiny seasonal details — fireworks, decorations, winter streets, and of course 100 adorable cats tucked cleverly throughout the scene.”
    • “I love the colored artwork.”
    • “The coloration adds a nice twist and the artwork is very nice to look at.”
    • “This game features very lackluster minimalist 'art' for graphics instead of anything remotely contemporary.”
    • “If the visuals were a bit easier on the eyes, this would’ve been a perfect 10.”
    • “I guess, in comparison to 100 Hidden Christmas Cats, whose artwork had a depth of field and was more detailed in nature (which meant cats were able to hide more skillfully), the artwork is more flat and 2-dimensional looking -- which makes the cats stand out more.”
  • music
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it festive and fitting for the theme, while others criticized it for being generic, repetitive, and even anxiety-inducing. Although the upbeat tunes complement the game's art style, many noted that the soundtrack consists of only one song, which detracts from the overall experience. Overall, while the music enhances the game's atmosphere for some, it leaves others wanting more variety and quality.

    • “The music is upbeat and fitting to the theme, while there's also settings to adjust the audio and hints for when you're down to the last few felines on the map.”
    • “The artwork is adorable, the music sounds great, and the game itself is very fun to play.”
    • “The vibe and music are cute as the cats.”
    • “Felt more like Christmas with the generic looped music that almost had a note of a familiar song.”
    • “The music noticeably loops and could have been more jolly, but the game works as expected and delivers on its simple premise.”
    • “I've played through all the other ones that are out and this is the second one where I wasn't totally in love with the music, but the music was actively making me anxious!”
  • gameplay
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by its cozy and charming art style, offering a relaxing and accessible experience that appeals to both children and adults. While many appreciate its soothing and intuitive mechanics, some find it repetitive and lacking in challenge. Overall, it serves as a delightful timewaster for fans of the genre.

    • “With its cozy art style and satisfying gameplay, it's a perfect holiday treat for fans of the genre.”
    • “It's a fantastic, free way to entertain young children (and yourself!) with its accessible gameplay and adorable art.”
    • “While the artwork is charming, the gameplay is mind-numbingly repetitive, with no real challenge other than pixel hunting.”
    • “The gameplay is so fluid, so impossibly intuitive, it feels like it taps directly into the core of your being.”
    • “ no gameplay, or DLC add-on”
  • story
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate a consensus that the game lacks a compelling story, with many users stating there is no story at all or describing it as boring and unengaging. Comparisons to other narratives, such as "Twilight," highlight the perceived inadequacy of the game's storytelling.

    • “✅ no story”
    • “ has a story, but it’s boring.”
    • “What story?”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate that while the game offers opportunities for achievement grinding on Steam, it can be excessively grindy, requiring significant time investment and possibly the use of macros to manage the workload. Players suggest that tackling the grinding aspect may feel overwhelming and demanding.

    • “You'll need a second life, maybe some macros, and a will to live for grinding.”
    • “A little grindy.”
    • “Good for achievement grinding on Steam.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is enhanced significantly, contributing positively to the overall experience.

    • “The game's stunning visuals and haunting soundtrack create an immersive atmosphere that pulls you in from the very start.”
    • “Every detail, from the lighting to the ambient sounds, contributes to a rich atmosphere that makes the world feel alive.”
    • “The eerie silence and subtle background noises enhance the atmosphere, making every moment feel tense and engaging.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is marred by several bugs, including issues with camera zooming in corners, noticeable music looping, transparency glitches with certain cats in colored mode, and confusing button labels in the settings menu. These problems detract from the overall user experience.

    • “Zooming the camera is buggy when placed in a corner.”
    • “It is easy to tell when the music loops, which isn't a good thing.”
    • “Some cats are transparent for unknown reasons in colored mode.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is limited due to its single-picture format with hidden cats, making it less time-intensive and unique, though players find the charming art style and relaxing gameplay enjoyable. While it can be replayed, it doesn't offer significant variety beyond the series.

    • “Every level is just a single picture with a hundred cats hidden around to be found, so it's not particularly replayable or time-intensive. However, the art style is charming, and it can be a very relaxing, enjoyable play.”
    • “The game is replayable, yet it lacks uniqueness outside of the series.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of "100 New Year Cats" is characterized by its wholesome and charming experience, highlighted by cute hand-drawn art and a festive atmosphere. Players find joy in the game's lightheartedness and appeal, making it a delightful addition for those seeking a feel-good gaming experience.

    • “Still had a fun, wholesome time with it, and all the cats are cute.”
    • “If you enjoy hidden-object games, cute hand-drawn art, or just want a wholesome, festive break, '100 New Year Cats' is absolutely worth adding to your library.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its relaxing and humorous approach, centered around the lighthearted task of finding 100 hidden cats, which adds a playful element to the gameplay.
