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 fluid dance of shadow and steel where every infiltration feels rewarding and combat is a visceral, satisfying payoff.

What players say

Players praise the beautiful open world and dynamic seasons, but are frustrated by forced ray tracing and DLC that does not work across stores. The story is widely considered dull and the content repetitive, though the hideout building and combat have fans. Performance issues, especially on 8GB VRAM cards, are a common complaint.
