“With the attitude and grit of games like Lollipop Chainsaw and the solid action of games like Devil May Cry, Gori is a bizarrely fun story of sentient cats and killer hoverboards.”

Gori Cuddly Carnage is a really fun game that offers a decent mix in its levels and challenges. I did play through levels a couple of times because I enjoyed the gameplay and the humour of it. While there are some issues, namely the camera and a couple of platforming bits, overall Gori Cuddly Carnage is a fun, gory, time.

Featuring a cute cat protagonist with a foul-mouth sentient hoverboard sidekick, Gori: Cuddly Carnage is a good, old-fashioned, stage-based action game that's a blast from start to finish. Though be warned: with lots of gore and plenty of bad language, this certainly isn't a game for kids despite its bright and colourful visuals.
