Gori: Cuddly Carnage Reviews
An inventive action platformer that manages to be both cute and gory in equal measure and where it seems absolutely impossible that it could be the work of primarily just two people.
Gori: Cuddly Carnage is unpleasant and even somewhat ugly, but it's also deeply funny and thought-provoking. In no game will you be able to control a skater cat, cyberpunk, kill zombie unicorns... And that is something to take into account.

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.
I had no idea what I was in for with Gori: Cuddly Carnage, and I certainly didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Its crassness is kind of a take-it-or-leave-it for me, but it fits a ridiculous world taken over by crazed toys that are in desperate need of murder by a sentient cat friend and his blade hoverboard. And that feels like a good way to look at most of Gori. It sets out do all sorts of things gameplay-wise and it does all of them pretty well to make a ridiculously graphic world and narrative pretty dang fun. Mind the tykes in the room when you’re playing this one.
Despite its flaws, Gori: Cuddly Carnage claws out a place in the hack and slash genre.
Gori: Cuddly Carnage is a character action game full of blood, swearing and clever ideas, and if that doesn't excite you I don't know what will.
Gori: Cuddly Carnage's hyper-violent, comic book spin on the character platformer is fun and easy to get to grips with. It's an entertaining ride, though the sheer volume of comedic banter will overwhelm as much as it entertains, and performance issues plague the experience throughout. Otherwise, it just about holds everything together and will no doubt appeal to some. Others may tire of the scattershot humour long before Gori has defeated the Adorable Army.
Gori: Cuddly Carnage is a manic action adventure that successfully combines multiple gameplay elements. Traversing the world is a thrill and is accentuated through platform-focused segments. Unfortunately, the basic combat gets tedious due to the lack of depth and repetitive missions. Although that portion is underwhelming, it’s still a chaotic crusade packed with style.
Everyone can easily hop on a grind rail and travel around, but seasoned gamers will have endless opportunities and reasons to kill and look cool doing it. Even still, it’s not hard at all to button mash one’s way to glory, as long as one remembers where the shield button is from time to time. Expert gamers might be disappointed at how little the higher difficulties add to the mix, but it’s hard to be mad when the base experience is such a sick and sanguine little delight.
Gori: Cuddly Carnage was an indie game that meow-ed its way to the top despite its technical frustrations.
If you are looking for a fun hack-and-slash game or something enjoyable to play consider picking up Gori: Cuddly Carnage instead of more expensive titles. The side missions alone will give you something else to enjoy and are a good way to get money to upgrade your abilities.
The cat on the hoverboard is an unusual hero, able to move around the terrain with obstacles and, despite his cute looks and comic book style, is quite tough in battle. Once you're hooked, there's no turning back.

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.
Gori: Cuddly Carnage is an amazing character action game that will make you eager for its sequel. It's cute, creepy, and full of carnage, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I didn't expect to enjoy Gori: Cuddly Carnage as much as I did but I'm super-happy that I played it and I'm sure you'll be, too.
'Gori: Cuddly Carnage' is a short game with an imperfection here and there. Nevertheless, the game plays wonderfully. It is clearly not a children's game, but for those who like dark and bad humor a great pleasure. Slaughtering unicorns in style is what your main activity is in this hack and slash with some platforming here and there. Good entertainment for the lover of all this is in abundance and that for a nice price.

Gory: Cuddly Carnage is cute and a bloody good time. It’s a fast and brutal 3rd-Person action game that excels in its fight and high speed chases. Unfortunately the camera is often fighting against the player which makes some of the later fights exhausting as well as precision platforming unnecessarily difficult. Gori is a lovable protagonist though and thanks to the fast paced levels it won’t get boring despite its technical issues.

Just like Gori and his friends join a resistance force against the evil toys of the Adorable Army, Gori: Cuddly Carnage is one of the resilient bastions of hack and slash with its traditional gameplay that values the stylish execution of combos and the carnage instead of rolling around and stamina bar limitations so usual in the modern industry limited action games. It's a true breath [of fresh air] in a genre [on the break of] being extinct in a very captivating product that knows what it wants to do.

Gori: Cuddly Carnage is a truly peculiar game that is wildly fun to play. It has some unfortunate technical issues, but the distinct world and wonderfully gruesome gameplay go a long way to craft a game unlike anything else I’ve experienced.
