I have had a black cat for many years now and her behavior has always puzzled me. After feeling the need to pointlessly jump inside every single cardboard box in 'Little Kitty, Big City' I looked over at my cat and thought 'I finally understand you'. 'Little Kitty, Big City' by Double Dagger studio is not only a PURfect cat simulator, but also a beautiful and addictive game. Although there was the occasional technical issue, overall I think this may be my favourite cozy game. I played the game on the Nintendo Switch, because it seems like the perfect game to have on the go in the future, but it is available on the PC and Xbox Series X and S. It has been developed by the indie studio 'Double Dagger' and this is their first game, which is mind blowing because it is excellent! The first thing that stood out to me during the game's opening was how much attention to detail there is in the cat's animation. The cat moved and acted so realistic that my o...

Hello, my name is Pepper and this is my review of 'Little Kitty, Big City' from a black cat's perspective. Little Kitty, Big City...CATastrophe or PURRfect? Firstly I must say I was excited to see black cats represented in a positive way for once in any form of media. We have spent decades trying to get away from the negative stereotypes originally perpetuated by the witch hysteria that began in Europe in the 1400s. Although we were often seen appearing alongside witches, we do not condone their behavior and were unaware of there actions on account of the fact that we are cats.

Here are some examples of negative black cat representation that have really damaged our image to the public: Cat Woman, Sylvester (Looney Toons), Lucifer (Cinderella), Snowball II (The Simpsons) and of course Black Cat (the Spider-man villain). Although there has been the occasional positive representat...

When I found out a Knuckles TV series was being released I felt it seemed a little random. Did we need a Knuckles TV series? No. But then again do I need to eat a full sleeve of Oreos every time I make a cup of tea? No, but I do it anyway because I enjoy it and I have no self control. Knuckles felt like that sleeve of Oreos. Did I enjoy it? Yes. Did it nourish me in a healthy way? Probably not, but who cares! I enjoyed my time with it but I didn't need it. The entire series is a similar premise to the first Sonic movie. An alien and an out-of-their-depth small town police officer on a road trip, meeting crazy characters along the way while fighting scientists trying to harness the alien's power. Wow. It is kind of like when you used the adapter on Sega Genesis to play as Knuckles in Sonic 2, the game was the same, but it somehow felt different. The stakes are lower than the movies which I found refreshing. It allowed for more comedy moments and was able to goof around and not ...
