If Stray was a bit too subdued for you, why not make a note of the new game by Angry Demon StudioGori: Cuddly Carnage. Now, before you think this is all moonbeams and rainbows, think again. Actually, just read on.

Published by Wired Games (The Falconeer), this is a futuristic hack n’ slash where you play the titular Gori and are accompanied by their best friend F.R.A.N.K. (a synthetic hoverboard) and A.I. companion CH1-P. 

After Cool-Toys Inc. creates Ultra Pets, ultimate companions that ‘never hunger, never require bathroom breaks and are impervious to the ravages of time’, they soon mutate and become hell-bent on wiping out humanity. Yowzers.

Key features in Gori: Cuddly Carnage include:

  • Play as a badass cat with a team of unlikely heroes
  • Battle blood-thirsty hordes of mutated toys
  • Explore multiple levels filled with lethal environmental hazards
  • Master a devastating arsenal of explosives, razor-sharp weaponry and unlockable moves
  • Use your extreme hoverboard parkour skills to explore every corner of the level for collectables 
  • Turn the town red with F.R.A.N.K’s blades as you slice and dice
  • Skate and slay out to an original bone-crunching soundtrack
