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 heavy, oppressive journey through a decaying undersea city, blending tense combat with a haunting, philosophical narrative.

What players say

Players agree BioShock 2 improves shooting and dual-wielding over the original, making combat smoother, but the original release crashes on Windows 11 and the remaster loses some visuals. The story is considered solid but not as mind-blowing as the first game.
