That’s right, it’s another hidden object cat game. This time Hidden Cat Outlaws takes us to the wild, wild west — think Sheriff offices, carts dotted around, lots of sand.
As with most hidden-animal games, there’s a lot of familiar features here, however, Hidden Cat Outlaws has a few extra tricks up its sleeves. There are little buildings with angry faces above them, which unlock by being tapped on. In these are huge baddie cats, which you need to solve a mini-rhythm-based game to capture. Once you have captured them, they drop a map that shows you where a bonus object is buried.
Along with these treasures, there are also extra items that can be found littered around the world such as keys that can be found, which unlock buildings. These buildings are, of course, absolutely full of cats that you can then capture. These close-ups are more detailed and have a slightly different visual style to them, giving you something new to look at. There are also a lot of bunnies and other animals that look a lot like cats, to trick you, which is quite funny.
My daughter Robin, who often plays with me, quite likes that the cats are put in little cat cages, ones clearly used to take them to the vet. As with the bosses, it’s something a little bit different. On the subject of younger players, there is also a hint system, which takes you right to a cat to capture, before refreshing completely, which is helpful in a pinch.
There are 15 levels in total in Hidden Cat Outlaws, with a screen that shows you if you completed it, if you defeated the baddie, and if you got all three random objects. Once you complete a level, it unlocks the next one, giving you another to play. It’s nothing exceptional, but it’s a great way to burn a couple of hours with your young family.
Hidden Cat Outlaws is available now on Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC.
