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

Swinging sabers to slash beats in sync with music feels like a high-energy dance workout in a neon-lit world.

What players say

Players say Beat Saber is a core VR experience that doubles as a workout, but the base song selection is thin and the DLC pricing quickly adds up. Almost everyone recommends modding the PC version for custom songs, though frequent updates can temporarily break mods.
