Gori: Cuddly Carnage

Gori: Cuddly Carnage is developed by Angry Demon Studio, an independent game development studio from Sweden. The game was first unveiled in IGNs virtual Summer of Gaming event in June 2020. In April 2022, Angry Demon initially announced a Windows release in 2023 with England-based publisher Wired Productions serving as its distributor. In September of the same year, Angry Demon Studio CEO John Kalderon announced that the game will also head to all major consoles alongside Windows. In April 2024, after several delays, it was announced to be released on August 29. Physical copies of the game for both Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 were also announced, but are only available for players in the United States and the European region. ==Censorship==

On June 25, 2024, prior to its release, the game had to be censored in Japan as it was deemed too violent for players in that region. In response, Wired Productions toned down the visceral violence, changed the natural red-colored blood to "purple toy juice" and removed some "dead humans". Two weeks after the censorship in Japan, on July 9, the home console ports for the Chinese and Korean markets were also affected. ==Reception==

Gori: Cuddly Carnage received "generally favorable" from critics, according to review aggregator Metacritic. T.J. Denzer of Shacknews gave the game a 9, stating: "a bizarrely fun story of sentient cats and killer hoverboards." GameSpews Richard Seagrave rated the game an 8 out of 10 saying that it's "a good, old-fashioned, stage-based action game that's a blast from start to finish." Ken Talbot of Nintendo Life gave Gori: Cuddly Carnage a 6 out of 10, praising the character designs and stylish gameplay, but criticizing its comedic tone as vexatious and cartoonish art-style a hit or miss.
