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 chaotic, loot-obsessed co-op shooter that feels like a relentless, darkly humorous treasure hunt across a dangerous and ridiculous sci-fi frontier.

What players say

Players praise Handsome Jack and the loot chase as endlessly fun, but opinions split hard on multiplayer. Co-op fans report constant crashing and broken matchmaking, while solo players call the game a near-perfect looter shooter.
