"The cat on the hoverboard is an unusual hero, able to move around the terrain with obstacles and, despite his cute looks and comic book style, is quite tough in battle. Once you&s;re hooked, there&s;s no turning back."

"Gori: Cuddly Carnage is unpleasant and even somewhat ugly, but it&s;s also deeply funny and thought-provoking. In no game will you be able to control a skater cat, cyberpunk, kill zombie unicorns... And that is something to take into account."
