“It took me 9 hours to gain 100% of achievements and complete the game, which is well below the time it took me to 100% the two other games. This shorter experience was nonetheless well worth my money. I've been in love…”

“Another great game in Cat Quest series, this time with a pirate theme. Lots of fun puns and sidequests. Made for co-op adventures, still fun alone. Maybe next one will be a 4 player zombie game called Cat 4 Quest?”
“not too challenging but a fun time with a non gamer co-op”
“Everything the previous two games offer and more! What this entry in the series looses in simplicity, it gains in charme. The pirate theme fits very well, having the ship for naval combat is fun. Local Co-op works very…”

“Great coop game, done on 100% achivements , max lvl , 1 playthrough , better than previous game . Fun, beatiful , can get challenging when doing all hardest bosses but strongly depends on build you craft . Had blast ,…”

“Absolutely fantastic game! I got this on humble bundle and will 100% be purchasing Cat Quest I and II as a result of how fantastic this game was . The levelling system and progression steps are easy to understand, there…”
“Probably my favourite in the series. You do not need to know about anything from the previous games. You are a pirate cat, you ultimately are trying to find something called the North star (or something like that) but…”

“We need a Cat Quest 4, and it needs to have a map as big as the second game”
“I like the exploration of CQ3 but kinda missed the dual characters of CQ2. With all that equipment combo potential, its kinda useless if only upgrading one main set. Maybe next time there will be more gold aqcuired and…”

“Fun game, but not purrfect. Story is meh. Compared to Cat Quest 1 & 2 combat is somewhat improved and enjoyable. Pirate ship encounters are good as well. Lots of humour.”
“A step up from Cat Quest II visually, but a step back in quality IMO. Still a fun game with plenty of combat and puzzles to solve. I preferred the style of the previous game with the co-op focus and the help even if you…”

“Solid game, should take most people around 8 to 10 hours. CQ 1 and 2 were too easy, especially 1, but I can tell the developers tried to make this one more difficult. I still found it easy, but not extremely so. I also…”

If 1 is a home run, and 2 is a grand slam, then 3 just hits the ball into outer space! [spoiler] spoilers [/spoiler] First of all, the game is beautiful. Just drop dead gorgeous. From the character…”
