[PlayStation 5] A Review of Cat from Hell – Cat Simulator

Sure thing, let’s dive right into it:

Oh boy, where do I start with "Cat From Hell – Cat Simulator" by Upscale Studios? This game has this wild holiday vibe, you know, like cats running amok to Christmas tunes. At first, I thought, “Hey, sounds like a blast!” But, oh man, it missed the mark big time. Let me try to explain—though it might get messy, just a heads up.

So, picture this: It’s Christmas night. You’re this sneaky cat in a grandma’s house, causing all sorts of chaos. Knock over a vase? Check. Shred grandma’s curtains? Totally. The mission? Make the other cat look guilty so it gets the boot. Simple, right? Except… grandma’s watching, and if she catches you — BAM, game over. Not exactly creating holiday cheer here.

And then there’s this clumsy dance — you’re sneaking around, knocking over stuff, trying not to get caught. Every crash comes with these Christmas bell sounds (which, hilariously, is supposed to alert grandma). If she spots you, well, things don’t end well. You’re aiming for slapstick fun. But honestly, you just end up frustrated. The whole thing kinda stumbles right from the get-go.

Let’s talk problems, shall we? The game’s full of ’em. Grandma and the rival cat – they keep getting stuck, like, what are they even doing? One time, I watched grandma try to wander through a chair for way too long. I was like, c’mon lady, we’re on a schedule here!

It’s this constant guessing game. You think you’ve set up this perfect scene to frame the other cat, but then the game totally drops the ball. Like, am I missing something here? Once, I "won" purely because the other cat got stuck in a couch. Not the smoothest victory, I’ll tell you.

And the visuals — yikes. Feels like I’m back in some ancient gaming era with these chunky, awkward graphics. The animations? Clunk-city. Can’t forget grandma’s voice either, sounds like it came through a tin can or something.

Now get this — no Platinum trophy. For a budget game, you’d expect some sparkly trophies to chase. Nope. Just some basics for breaking stuff or framing the other cat if you can even manage that.

There’s a Sandbox Mode too. No rival cat, just you and grandma. Fun’s supposed to happen here, but… does it? Doubtful. I guess some folks might enjoy poking around for trophies, and hey, more power to ’em.

Went in thinking it’d be a merry romp around grandma’s place, and came out feeling like I’d just untangled a ball of yarn — and not in a fun, cat-like way. At $4.99, not even a holiday discount makes this worthwhile on the PS5.

So there it is. My chaotic take on "Cat From Hell." Consider yourself warned!
