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 grounded, number-crunching management sim where you oversee rosters, tactics, and seasons without intense player-driven action.

What players say

Players are divided on this rugby management sim. Longtime fans appreciate the improved match engine and progression system over the 2015 version, but many complain about excessive injuries that break the season and a frustrating, clunky user interface that feels dated. The game is considered overpriced for its polish, though some find it addictive if they love the sport.
