Critic Reviews
Overgrowth Review
Overgrowth is a difficult title to recommend. Though there's entertainment value in whooping some cottontails, the included story mode doesn't offer nearly enough content, nor does it excel at showcasing all of the game's capabilities. However, there are plenty of fun mods to play around with. The various battle arenas and parkour stages are pretty decent as well, and there's even a downloadable grenade, because blowing up a crowd of rapier-wielding cats never gets old. In any case, if players are willing to test ideas and experiment, then their time is likely to be well-spent here.

A visceral, brutal fighting game with no subtlety and no ambition for it. Long loading times and a poor camera don’t detract massively from the animalistic fun Overgrowth provides.

The combat of Overgrowth is exhilaratingly fun with everything's working as it should, but that’s not very often.
