Description: Catlateral Damage is a first-person destructive cat simulator where you play as a cat on a rampage, knocking as much stuff onto the ground as possible. See the world through the eyes of a cat! Like other first-person games, you can walk and look around, jump, and crouch. Unlike other first-person games, your primary weapons are your two cat paws, which you can use to swipe at and knock objects onto the floor.

Review: Now and again a game comes along that is so crazy you almost can’t believe someone would have come up with it. This is definitely true when it comes to Catlateral Damage. You play the role of a cat who loves to cause as much mess and damage as he can. Played in a first-person style you have to move around, knocking into or knowing off as much stuff as you can within the set time limit.

Using little more than your cat paws you will soon be flapping the Vive wands around like some demented cat put in a bathtub. The shelves, closets, tables & chairs, in fact pretty much everything has something on it that you can knock to the floor. It’s just so much fun to play that hours will soon fly past. Just remember to remove all real-world objects away from the playing area as this game can soon get very real as we experienced in our first playthrough of it.

With it’s randomly generated levels, collectable cat photos and party-play style, there is an awful lot to love about this game and when it comes to fun this game is purrfect. Sadly what isn’t purrfect is the way you move about the level. While fairly easy to control the VR sickness will make a lot of people feel very nauseous. This game reminds me of why I don’t have cats myself. Sure they look fun as pets at the start, but you will soon get sick of them.
