Cat and Ghostly Road review (PS5)

 

In honor of the first anniversary of the death of my white cat Olivia I wanted to play the game Cat and Ghostly Road. In this game you play as a white cat named Yang, who is trying to save the painter who saved its life.

 

 

This game had been on my wishlist for a long time, and now it was luckily on sale.

Cat and Ghostly Road is a point-and-click adventure with some puzzles.

 

 

Cat and Ghostly Road was suitable game for my mindset, when I wanted to reminize my late white cat. The game's themes of ghosts, demons and otherworld were just perfect for this purpose. The white cat even visits heaven. I want to think that's where my dear Olivia is.

 

 

The game has puzzles, and doesn't always make clear what has to be done next. I used this text walkthrough guide to help me progress through the game. Without it the playthrough would have taken a lot longer, and I for sure would have gotten frustrated. As I easily do in games.

 

 

Cat and Ghostly Road isn't a very long game, but I recommend it to those who love cats, and especially for them who have lost beloved cat(s).

This is a beautiful little indie game.

The Animals of Disney Dreamlight Valley

Disney Dreamlight Valley is a popular game with lots of content. I had waited for years to play it. I have now spent most of my summer playing this game, and I loved every second. I loaned the game from the library, and unfortunately the DLCs weren't included.

 

 

Dreamlight Valley is a very addictive game. It was difficult for me to stop playing it. There's so much to do. After 180 hours of playtime I finally finished all the quests of the base game. Well, almost all of them.

 

 

 

Disney Dreamlight Valley characters

Disney has so many iconic characters, and not all of them are (yet) in the game. From the start Merlin, Mickey Mouse, Scrooge McDuck and Goofy are there. A bit later Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse and Daisy join the fun. Along the way the player unlocks more characters, biomes and realms.

 

 

What I personally hate that the Fairy Godmother is in the game, but there's no Cinderella. She happens to be my favorite Disney Princess, along with Jasmine and Belle. I'm sure she's going to be added to the game at some point. But is she gonna be free content? I doubt it.

 

 

My favorite character in the game has to be Nala. I must admit that I have never even seen The Lion King, even thought I have wanted to for literally decades. I especially want to see the original version, because there actor Jonathan Taylor Thomas is voicing young Simba. Yes, I used to be a big fan of Home Improvement. 

 

 

Nala in Dreamlight Valley is simply very adorable. Makes me want to see the movie. So thanks to this game I'm finally going to loan that movie from the library, luckily it's there.

 

 

Another adorable character is Frozen's Olaf, I fell in love with him too. That's yet another movie I haven't seen. I guess it would be easier to list the movies I have seen.

 

 

My favorite Disney movies are Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast, and characters from those are in the game. I especially love Belle in this game, she's a quiet book nerd, just like me. 

I like Scar's negative attitude towards everything. 

 

 

Among my favorites is also Donald Duck, he's so funny in his anger. And yet also so polite.

 

 

But when it comes to Prince Eric... I want him for myself, so step away, Ariel. I haven't seen The Little Mermaid either. 

That is one thing missing from Dreamlight Valley, romantic relationships for the playable character. I suppose it's undestandable, it would be too horrible to steal spouses of well known and iconic characters. But I got used to romance in My Time-series, and it's hard to be without.

 

 

I don't like the game's latest addition, Peter Pan. I have always hated his misogynistic attitude, or his attitude in general. 

 

Dreamlight Valley's Cheshire Cat

Disney Dreamlight Valley is full of animals. From Lion King's Simba and Nala to Alice in Wonderland's Cheshire Cat. This cat is a bit quirky, and likes to cause mayhem and disappear. But I love him anyway.

 

 

 

Dreamlight Valley's Companion Animals

Squirrels (peanut), rabbits (carrots), turtles (seaweed), raccoons (blueberry), foxes (white sturgeon), crocodiles (lobster), sunbirds (flowers that match their feather color), ravens (5 star meals). Those are the companion animals of the base game, and listed after them are their favorite foods. You have to feed them so that they'll become your friends. Then you can choose to have them with you on your adventures. They also gather extra resources and backpack slots for you. 

 

 

There are also some special companions, such as Magic Carpet from Aladdin. 

The DLCs have even more companion animals. My favorite of them is the capybara, I wished to get one.

The Premium Shop also sometimes has companions, including cats. 

 

 

 

Disney Dreamlight Valley Trophies

This game lost me at trophies.

With better/more trophies I would have bought this game. Because of the lack of trophies I only loaned Dreamlight Valley from the library.

With implementing more/lot of trophies the game makers can only win. Every game should have at least story trophies, and a game like this could have soo many trophies. But no, Gameloft chose a different path.

Whenever I'm planning on buying a game I always check the trophies first. No platinum? Not interested. Not many trophies and/or all the trophies hard to get? I'll pass. 

 

 

Still I enjoyed every second of Disney Dreamlight Valley, and wished there were even more free content to play. This is a great game for Disney fans, and for those who love cozy games.
