The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A moody, gothic action-adventure with puzzle platforming and visceral combat where you shift between spectral and material realms to hunt down your vampire brethren.

What players say

Players praise the story and atmosphere but are split on the gameplay. Many find the combat and puzzles outdated, especially in Soul Reaver 2 which some call linear and repetitive. The remaster is seen as minimal, offering only working modern ports and a toggle for original graphics.
