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 fast-paced, large-scale shooter that feels like playing through the iconic battles of the Star Wars universe with arcadey action and nostalgic charm.

What players say

Players call this the definitive Star Wars shooter, with space battles still unmatched and no microtransactions. It holds up well on modern PCs, though mouse and keyboard controls feel off, widescreen requires mods, and setting up a controller is a hassle.
