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 fast-paced, explosion-heavy third-person shooter where you blast through claustrophobic underground tunnels and alien hordes with relentless firepower.

What players say

Players are split on Red Faction: Armageddon. It trades the open-world sandbox of its predecessor for a linear, corridor-based shooter focused on building destruction. The campaign is very short, around 8 to 11 hours. Some enjoy the intense action and destruction, while others find it a bland, claustrophobic departure from the series.
