The adaptive triggers give appropriate feedback when the harden ability is on cooldown, which has some helpful gameplay implications, but it isn’t an adorable little cat that somehow incessantly purrs while trapped in the hellish confines of Fallgrim. Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition is available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Mortal Shell utilizes the DualSense’s oft-celebrated haptic feedback better than most games out there and it’s because of a god damn cat. But it’s immediately noticeable in the PS5 version. Hearing the cat in the other versions of the game is quite hard to do. Both the speaker and rumble motors work together to create something that’s genuinely more immersive and accurately emulates the cuteness of the real thing something a game this bleak could use.
It’s a small touch, but it’s a cute one that uses the technology well. (Cold Symmetry would not confirm whose cat it was so that part remains a mystery.)
It sounds like a microphone was shoved right in the whiskers of a very happy and surprisingly docile cat. The purrs themselves are of a pretty high quality, too, with all the small weird noises and chirps cats make when they are, scientifically speaking, very rumbly. The controller even vibrates accordingly as each purr-filled inhale and exhale echoes through the tiny speaker.
But this cat now purrs loudly through the speaker in the DualSense controller not just as the player strokes its little head, but also while in and around Vlas’ shop. It still sits on the table in Vlas’ out-of-the-way shop and gives the player a trophy or achievement for petting it. Some additional restrictions may apply.This cat was in the previous versions as well.
