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 bombastic, silly, and fast-paced pirate action game where you swing swords, pilot ships, and brawl across tropical islands with absurd humor.

What players say

Players are split on this spin-off: many love the wacky pirate fantasy and Majima's return, but a vocal group criticizes the amnesia story for lacking the series' usual emotional depth. It spoils major plot points from Infinite Wealth early on, and some find the Hawaii map reuse and grinding tedious.
