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

Plays like being thrown into chaotic, cinematic WWII battles as an ordinary soldier, with intense and realistic firefights.

What players say

Players praise this as one of the best Call of Duty campaigns and a top World War II shooter, with a chaotic, cinematic feel that holds up well on modern hardware. Several note the Soviet campaign is particularly strong, though the American one is called a bit boring by some. The multiplayer servers are long gone and the flinch mechanic when taking fire makes aiming difficult.
