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 tense, high-stakes action-horror romp mixing resource management with relentless, aggressive enemies and dramatic set pieces.

What players say

Players call this a genre-defining classic that still holds up thanks to its satisfying combat and memorable encounters, though the tank controls and PC port are dated. The island section near the end is widely agreed to drag, and many say the original's charm beats the remake.
