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 polished remaster collection of fast, classic 2D Sonic platforming, bright and nostalgic, with optional extras for fans.

What players say

Players say the collection is a solid way to replay the classic Sonic games, but frequent save corruption and performance problems on PC drag it down. Most recommend waiting for a sale and using the Ultrafix mod. Reviews also note missing music from Sonic 3 and a divisive menu style.
