While staying true to its small-scale, casual approach, Cat Quest 3 avoids the trap of overloading content to create an open world. Instead, it offers a highly flexible exploration experience. In addition, the game further enhances the equipment system, allowing for clearer role specialisation when playing in co-op mode.

Cat Quest III is a very light and fun action-adventure game with pleasing visuals and an open world to explore with a friend. Kids or anyone who enjoys the Lego games will find that there is a lot to enjoy in Cat Quest III. Even with the awkward ship combat, the gameplay is breezy enough that it won’t hinder the experience.

Cat Quest 3 is one of the most entertaining games of the year, the creators have been able to create a much more valuable work than the previous two instalments by improving the gameplay and intelligently designing the stages. Of course, the biggest problem of the series is back again and the player has to grind to reach the required level for the main missions. But despite this problem, Cat Quest 3 is still worth experiencing and replaying. If you are a lover of cats and adventure works, do not hesitate to experience this game.

I don’t have a reference point of the prior Cat Quest games due to having never played them, but Cat Quest III has been a delightful, if brief journey full of whimsy, exciting (if simple) combat, fun character interactions, and the joy of sailing the seas. Once it sunk its teeth in me, I couldn’t detach myself from the switch and beat it in only a few sittings. That’s the power of Cat Quest III, a game that knows when to move on from any combat scenario or story beat before getting old and a universe where a kitten can spend hours combing every grain of litter to find new surprises or rewards each time. Cat Quest III belongs in your Switch library, and you will have a fantastic time.

Cat Quest III is an excellent 2.5D open-world RPG with fun characters and even a pirate ship to pilot. My only issue is that the puns can get to be a bit much by the time you reach the end!

Cat Quest 3's selling point is also one of its biggest detractors, depending how you feel about the series: it's simply more of the same. It looks fantastic, and exploring its cutesy world is a joy, but the addition of sailing a ship isn't enough to make this stand out from its predecessors.

With improved visuals and subtle gameplay changes, Cat Quest III maintains its strengths and improves the series in almost everything except the narrative. It's a solo or cooperative pirate adventure that doesn't extend beyond what is necessary and isn't afraid to be cute, silly and humorous, being a guarantee of fun for those who like the series and inviting for newcomers.

You wouldn't think that cats would enjoy taking to the high seas but Cat Quest III proves that feline pirates can be just as capable.

While I do enjoy what Cat Quest III offers, I feel that Cat Quest II is simply the better game by far. Its world felt huge and lived in, and the cast of characters made the journey that much more memorable. I don’t feel that with Cat Quest III, unfortunately. I think the game is a good continuation of the formula, but one that feels like a much smaller-scale adventure than one to top its previous outing. With where the story is going, I am still excited to see what Cat Quest IV can offer, but it needs some fresh ideas and gameplay to really be worthy of the sequel this series needs.

What more is there to say? If you’ve played the previous games and enjoyed them, you can expect more of the same great stuff here. If you’ve not played Cat Quest I or II, this can be a great place to jump in. Thanks to how the story has unfolded across the 3 games there’s no set linearity to the events. Therefore they can be played and enjoyed in any order. I can’t wait to see what The Gentlebros cook up next for The Apawcalypse.

Cat Quest 3 is another solid entry in the adorable, indie RPG series. Its fast-paced land and sea combat, colorful designs, and fun new additions make this a must-play for anyone looking for a short, entertaining experience. However, after over eight hours with the game, I can’t help but feel like this game was only half-cooked.

Cat Quest III is a successful continuation of the accessible RPG series that many players love. It's easy to see why people enjoy Cat Quest III so much. The narrative—despite its childlike simplicity—manages to present an endearing story with adorable characters. It's a real treat to look at, thanks to the stylish graphics, captivating animations, and the exotic pirate world. In the Purribean, you encounter various types of adventures, making it a pleasure to explore in your pirate ship. However, be aware that the combat mostly revolves around mindless button-mashing, and the lack of challenge can sometimes make this childlike RPG feel a bit sleepy. If that doesn’t bother you, then Cat Quest III is definitely worth your Spanish silver.

Don't let Cat Quest III's cute presentation put you off: it manages to combine a colorful and fun production with an interesting pirate story, lots of cool surprises and top-notch gameplay. The only limitation to the game is the length of its adventure, which, although intense and charming, is very short. Who knows, future updates may bring more content so we can enjoy this captivating world even more.

The story itself is not long, only lasting 10–15 hours for the main game. Once the game is over, players can also try it in New Game+ Mode or the upcoming "Mew Game" Mode, which will provide challenges such as not allowing players to equip anything or preventing them from leveling up higher than level one. Providing many more hours of enjoyable gameplay for Cat Quest 3 even after the main story is over.
