One more from the distant world of 2020. This is a game that I played when I still had gamepass, and I think I may have rushed through to complete it while I still had GamePass in July 2020. The game is a metroidvania-style game where the protagonist is cat (kiki), in a mech-suit, traversing a world to save the scientist that she comes to the planet with.  A bit short on story (as with most games of this style), but really enjoyable.  As much as I want to love metroidvania games, I rarely do!  But this game was the exception!  So much so that if it were on sale on Steam I'd definitely buy to own 😁. We need a sequel with Kiki and the dog as main characters :-)



Story from Wikipedia.

In the distant future, Gary and his cat Kiki are piloting a spaceship to a distress call in an alien planet. While flying towards the planet, Kiki steps on the ship's keyboard causing the ship to crash land. Both survive, but Gary is trapped with the wrecked ship, while Kiki is outside of it. Gary then sends Kiki out to find a mech suit, explore the planet, and find a way to get off of it. Throughout the world Kiki can discover voice logs which speak of a mad scientist obsessed with keeping his sickly dog alive.

Additionally, as Kiki clears out the planet's systems to gain access to the lab, they repeatedly encounter a talking rat, who is eventually revealed to be the mad scientist, transferred into a different body. He plans to transfer his consciousness into Gary's body, and transfer his dog's consciousness into Kiki's body to save him. After Kiki defeats the scientist, she and the dog escape the planet, leaving the scientist behind.
