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, choice-driven stealth game where every betrayal and sabotage brings the player closer to the line between operative and terrorist.

What players say

Players say the PC port is a buggy mess with crashes, clipping, and freezing cutscenes. Some can get it working with Ubisoft's patch, but many describe it as the worst port in the series. The game itself is seen as a simplified, linear entry with a tacked-on trust meter that breaks the tension of earlier titles.
