“Cats are cute. Animations are cute. I like the community building. I feel like the game itself is a bit barebones (quests, farming, mining, fighting, and hunting are all pretty simple.) so if you're looking for a game…”
“This game fulfilled my warrior cat dreams. I loved the graphic style and gameplay. It's calming and sometimes chaotic, mimicking the true environment run by cats. The story and dialogue is interesting, and I love the…”
“I've beat this game 4 times (on switch) and I have really enjoyed it. The hunting system is better than the original because it is more skill-based instead of luck-based. The cats are great (except zephyr) and the…”

“Bought this game right when it came out and it did not disappoint. Would definitely recommend for warrior cat fans (if you want to fight other clans I would recommend the prequel game this one fights shadow cats) The…”
“Very fun game! Someone online said the hunting mechanic was difficult, and maybe I'm just used to the more exact Warrior Cats Untold Tales hunting, but this was pretty easy! (I'm on normal difficulty.) It's really cool…”
“I played the first warriors untold tales, so these games are dear to my heart. I really enjoy this game, the hunting mechanics and the overall gameplay loop is pretty fun. I've replayed it twice, it is very cozy and…”

“A purrfect game...honestly amazing it has that warm and cosy feel to it just like other cosy games. It has lots of things to do other than the main story as in dating and marriage and even having kittens, hunting and…”

“I'd wait until this game is on sale. Unless you're geting it for a kid, I'd only pay around $8. It's reminiscent of Warrior cats. It gets quite a bit repetative, takes a long time to "level up", and the battles are much…”

“Love this game! It's cute and relaxing. Instructions on how to play are clear and easy. Storyline is a little strange, but exactly what one might expect from a cat sim game.”
“My first foray into the Cattails universe, this is a lovely game. The characters are diverse and interesting, the story is compelling, and the many mechanics are enjoyable. I like being able to customize my avatar and…”
“I used to play the original alllll the time and I love wildwood just as much- if not more! I love the new style, characters, environment and mechanics. I do miss Scout, though, he was my favorite from the original. I…”

“Adorable kitties!! Highly recommend! The main storyline goes on for longer than the first game, which is nice, but there is still SO much to do after that with mining, getting married and having kittens, building up and customizing your home base, etc. You can almost fully…”

— a player, Steam review · 75 hrs played“This game is just so incredibly fun for me. It's like if Stardew Valley met Warrior Cats. I love the sheer amount of customizability for your player character (on top of several existing patterns, there's also the option to make your own), and I love how many romance options…”
