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

Soaring through photorealistic skies with responsive controls and dynamic weather makes aerial combat feel exhilarating and intensely personal.

What players say

Players praise the arcade flight action and variety of unlockable planes, but note that the story is forgettable and the campaign can feel repetitive. Controller is strongly recommended, as HOTAS support is poor and mouse and keyboard is cumbersome.
