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 brisk, arcade-style 2D action revival with retro speed and instant boss-fight options.

What players say

Players are split: the three games are genuine classics, but the collection is called lazy and overpriced at $30. Complaints target the 720p lock, no video options, audio crackling, and a rewind feature that some say removes the challenge. A post-launch patch fixed some issues, though.
