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 colorful, relentlessly frantic arcade-shooter where you blast through massive hordes of enemies with over-the-top weapons.

What players say

Players are split on Serious Sam 2. Some call it a fever dream with great scale and smooth performance, while others find it the weakest entry due to its cartoon style and overly long levels. Community updates and mods like Renovation are widely praised for improving the experience.
