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 slow, methodical infiltration game where careful planning and avoiding direct combat are key, with a retro pixel presentation and tense tactical atmosphere.

What players say

Players strongly prefer Metal Gear 2 over the original, calling it a massive leap in mechanics, story, and atmosphere. Nearly everyone says a guide is necessary, especially for the first game, due to its cryptic design and punishing backtracking. A minority reports the collection crashing near the end of Metal Gear 2, blocking completion.
