I don't recommend. Camera angle is so annoying that I couldn't even focus on playing.4 found this helpful
Cute game but as others said the controls and camera need work, end up leaping way off and having to repeat the same bit over and over as he wouldn't jump where you pushed the controller to. Graphics are fine - cutscenes are blurry though, not sure if this was intentional or not? It seems quite short so not too bad to push through but could get annoying for some as I've had a few moments when climbing where it just wasn't working smoothly, if you can get past that its great3 found this helpful
What a fun and beautiful game! I'm so impressed by the world building and gameplay. Playing as a small rat in such a big world is so fun! I enjoyed so much exploring all the areas and I loved that pretty much every single nook and cranny are accessible to our main character. That attention to detail is brilliant. Also, loved the characters and story so far. No wonder this game won Best Latin American Game at the Gamescom Latam BIG Festival Awards! Can't wait for season 2 to drop!2 found this helpful

The split into two parts only made my worries worse. But none of that was confirmed and I really enjoyed it and spent a fantastic 7 hours of great adventure playing it with my little son. This is more than I expected for that good price. Proof that even smaller developer teams can make great games. For rodent lovers, this is an absolute must-have and unfortunately the comparison with Ratatouille is simply unavoidable and that's why I'll stick with it. The main difference compared to this game is probably that Rat's Quest is heavily linear without any side quests or optional missions with a minimum of alternative paths. Also, apart from a mini butterfly catch, there are no collectibles or unlockable content, which is a big shame and if the game sells good, there's a big opportunity for a small "expansion" or DLC. While I played Ratatouille at least 10 more times after the first pla…
