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.

What players say

Players are split on Sniper Elite 3. The X-ray kill cam is the standout feature, but the stealth is widely criticized as repetitive and unrewarding, with limited tools and inconsistent noise mechanics. Performance problems and crashes are common. The story is considered forgettable, and the game is recommended only when bought on sale. It feels dated compared to later entries in the series.
