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 tense, cinematic survival struggle as Lara fights, climbs, and shoots her way across a hostile island.

What players say

Players consistently praise the dark survival story and Lara Croft's character, though some find the combat repetitive by the end. The game is action-heavy with good pacing and parkour, but collectibles make up a large portion of content.
