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

Piloting starfighters in first-person multiplayer dogfights feels authentic and adrenaline-fueled, with a focus on tactical team coordination.

What players say

Players are sharply divided. Many report the game no longer launches due to EA's launcher or EasyAntiCheat, while a few play without issue, especially in VR. Those who get it running praise the VR experience and flight model, but find the multiplayer dead and the campaign short. The game requires technical workarounds for many.
