What Did We Play Yesterday?

I got my kid Cat Quest III. We played the first and second games together (the first they watched me play, the second they were old enough to play along with me in co-op). This time, they wanted to play on their own.

I liked Cat Quest II but felt it overstayed its welcome. The difficulty scaling wasn't good, and the level of grinding to 100% too much. The cat puns grated after a while. Cat Quest III is shaping up to be a really nice sequel. Firing canons from the pirate ship is fun. There are lots of small improvements, and the simple premise (You're a pirate! Yaaar!) is welcome. My kid beat it after several days, and per HowLongToBeat this one is on par with the original for length.
