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 methodical and cerebral strategy game that feels like carefully balancing resources, diplomacy, and expansion while building a fledgling colony toward independence.

What players say
Players say the remake of the classic Colonization is a rushed port with poor UI and missing content like maps. Long-time fans find it lacking next to the original, but mods like We The People make it more playable.
