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 high-stakes cops-and-robbers game that balances strategic heist planning with chaotic vehicular chases and cinematic single-player drama.

What players say

Players are split on Battlefield Hardline: many praise its cops vs criminals campaign and fast-paced theme, but getting the game to run is a multi-step ordeal involving the EA App and a browser page. Multiplayer is considered dead by some, and several cutscenes are locked to 30 fps.
