![]() She wielded the straight-edged peeler to prep Yukon golds for mashing and peel apples for her toddler’s snacks. Our tester found there wasn’t much in her kitchen that this set didn’t handle with ease. Not only do you have the option to go for a colorful set-one swivel peeler with a green handle, one julienne peeler with an orange handle, and one serrated peeler with a red handle-but these peelers also offer versatility and durability. If you’re in the market for several peelers to outfit your kitchen, this Oxo set is the way to go. In fact, our tester has been using this peeler for more than three years now and always throws it in the dishwasher. When it comes time for cleaning, it can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. The metal eye at the top lets you remove eyes from potatoes without reaching for a knife, and the hole in the handle can be used for hanging it on a hook. ![]() Also, the blade cut flawlessly in both directions, making it ideal for any cutting method and for both left- and right-handed users. Our tester found that the handle was comfortable to hold, even after a long session with potatoes. The swiveling blade moves at exactly the right angle to peel vegetables with ease, which was confirmed by our tester after peeling many white potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, apples, and tomatoes. It has a slightly better grip and sharper blade and is much sturdier than the original. ![]() This is the upgraded version of a classic Oxo peeler.

![]() The sequels ups the ante not only in the kinds of combat you can do, but in how you approach tougher battles. The first gave you a steady progression in difficulty, but its formula never truly changed. This results in a far more rewarding experience than the first game - even in its earliest goings. If everything works out perfectly, you will land a shot from afar while your ally attacks close-up or vice versa. ![]() Instead of being able to turn your brain off and slash, you need to plan every movement to evade enemies and then attack them. This means that you will have to get better at the core game - mainly defense, to survive, let alone excel. While you do gain a lot of range and therefore freedom with a ranged attack setup, your HP is halved. This magic allows you to play the game as almost an isometric Mega Man, as you can do a lot of damage from afar - but at a cost. ![]() While you do only start off with a short-range sword, you quickly get more powerful variants of bladed weapons alongside long-range magic. You can play the game the same as before and just slice and dice, but now, you can make one character an up-close brawler and the other a long-range spellcaster or ranged weapon user. Now, with two characters to switch between, your strategy changes completely. In an action game like this, that isn’t the most exciting as you needed to evade more than attack and it led to things being too repetitious. The original was hurt by only having a sword and it resulted in you needing to stick and move more. Beyond playing as just a cat, you can also play a a dog - which is largely just a visual difference on the surface, but it goes so much deeper in the core game. Instead of playing as a king cat (aren’t they all) out to find his sister, you now have the ability to switch between two characters. The sequel features some of the first game’s characters and changes up things just enough to keep things fresh while also making things accessible to newcomers. While it was released on just about everything, it fit in perfectly on the Switch and to a lesser extent on mobile, where the smaller scale of the adventure worked nicely even if the controls weren’t exactly on-par with the console and PC versions. Dungeons were bite-sized and allowed for players to get things done in a small timeframe. Its action RPG mechanics were addictive and the dungeon-crawling aspect of it was done just about perfectly. The humor was pun heavy while the combat was fast and allowed you to quickly pick up the core mechanics while still rewarding higher-level play. Starring a cat that needed to save his sister, it combined adorable felines with action RPG mechanics and a touch of dungeon crawling and comedy. The original Cat Quest hit two years ago on just about everything and offered up something new. |
