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 highly realistic racing simulation with precise physics, dynamic weather, and a competitive multiplayer focus that demands skill and attention.

What players say

Players say the physics and force feedback are top-tier, but the graphics are dated and the base game feels bare, with expensive DLC required for a full experience. The AI is inconsistent, the uninstaller leaves behind files, and Moza wheel support is broken, though the game is considered a bargain on deep sale.
