This game isn’t just about how it looks; it also features fast-paced hack-and-slash combat. With a mix of jumping and fighting, Gori: Cuddly Carnage offers a fun experience. The game is made to be both enjoyable and chaotic, making it a great pick for action game fans. Get ready for a mix of laughs and craziness as we dive into Gori’s universe.

A colourful chaos unleashed

Gori tells a crazy and funny story that mixes cuteness with chaos. You play as Gori, a cat on a mission to save Professor F. The game’s world is filled with messed-up toys and evil unicorns, creating a strange but entertaining setting. The story is packed with humour, making for an enjoyable journey to save the Professor, especially with the help of CH1-P, a quirky AI who adds to the fun.

One of the best parts of Gori’s story is its unique style. The mix of cute visuals and intense action kept me glued to the screen. Gori is a lovable character, and his interactions with others often leads to funny moments. The use of comic strips to tell the story adds a fun touch, making the experience even better. The dialogue, which isn’t safe for little ears, is clever and often silly. It fits well with the game’s quirky feel and often left me laughing or my jaw wide open in disbelief.

As much as I enjoyed the story and was laughing most of the time, there were some spots where the humour felt forced. Also, while the world looks cool and imaginative, I feel that it could use more background information to make the story richer. That being said, Gori’s story is a memorable experience, even if it has some areas that could be improved.

A unique gaming experience

Gori mixes platforming and hack-and-slash gameplay in a fun and entertaining way. Riding a hoverboard called F.R.A.N.K., you move through a variety of levels filled with corrupted toys and evil unicorns. One of my favourite aspects of Gori’s gameplay is its combat system.

Gori has a variety of unique attacks to choose from and you can use F.R.A.N.K. to perform powerful moves, like spin attacks and shots from a distance. You can charge your attacks, which lets you create devastating combos. And, using finishers, you can regain health and fuel, keeping the action on the screen going.

Gori’s level design is also impressive. Each area is well-made, with eye-catching visuals. You can grind on rails and jump across billboards, which adds a fun and unique element to the game’s platforming. The only “complaint” I have about Gori’s gameplay is that the game can feel chaotic at times. With so much going on, at times, it makes it hard to control Gori during tough battles.

The artistic flair of Gori

Presentation wise, Gori: Cuddly Carnage stands out with its bright visuals and fun sound design. The game has a unique and charming art style that mixes comic book looks with neon colours. Each level is filled with creative settings that show a wild, and in some ways, demented toy world. You’ll explore a dollhouse, skate on colourful billboards, and avoid creepy toys, and I do mean creepy!

Gori’s character designs are also memorable. Gori has a playful yet fierce look. His hoverboard, F.R.A.N.K., adds to the fun, serving as both a ride and a weapon. The enemies, especially the twisted unicorns, are designed in a way that mixes cuteness with a creepy vibe.

The game features a guitar-heavy soundtrack that fits the fast-paced action perfectly. It makes each battle exciting and matches the quirky humour throughout the game. One funny moment includes a song that humorously shouts “SLIME” during gameplay, adding a silly touch. Voice acting Gori really adds depth to the story making it more enjoyable. While Gori, disappointingly, only says “meow,” F.R.A.N.K. and CH1-P provide clever dialogue that keeps things entertaining.

Gori: Cuddly Carnage is a mix of cuteness and chaos that offers a satisfying gameplay experience

Gori: Cuddly Carnage is a crazy mix of cuteness and chaos that I absolutely love. The game almost perfectly combines platforming with hack-and-slash action that I couldn’t get enough of. The bright visuals and neon colours create a fun world filled with strange and yet adorable enemies, like evil unicorns.

The humour, particularly from F.R.A.N.K., is often funny and kept me laughing the whole way through. It’s worth to note that there is frequent swearing used in a comical way, so if you are playing the game around anyone that’s sensitive to this you will want to keep this in mind. The combat is intense and rewarding, letting you pull off powerful combos. The music fits the action well, and with a good upgrade system and collectibles, you’ll want to replay levels.

On the other hand, there are some issues with Gori that are worth mentioning. To start, some of the jokes in the game can feel forced, which are noticeable. Next, the camera, at times, can be an issue, making it hard to see what’s happening. Despite these flaws, I really enjoyed my time with the game and feel that overall it offers a satisfying gameplay experience.
