Look, I'm a cat person. They're cute, they have expressions that tell you more about their innermost thoughts than some actors currently working in cinema *cough* That dude in the new Warcraft movie *cough*, and pretty much everything they do is just delightful.

But at some point, the overwhelming amount of kitty-adoration that props up the base foundations of the internet is borderline Egyptian. We revere our feline friends as Gods, with Catlateral Damage getting something of a free pass, simply because "D'awww you can be a cat and hit stuff with your paw!" BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY DO RIGHT?!

Maybe it's me, maybe I've just had enough of it. Or maybe it's because the entire game feels like a Minecraft mod, where your only main interaction with the world is a naff melee attack that gets spammed a few thousand times.

[Insert Arnie's Kindergarten Cop scream here]

Catlateral Damage represents the latest in a disturbing trend to 'cash in' on the proliferation of Youtube and Twitch streamers, simply by making the most quirky or soullessly 'hilarious' content possible. It's made to be 'enjoyed' in five minute bursts, good for a cheap giggle and nothing more.
