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
It feels like commanding units in a tense, historically-grounded simulation where every squad movement and tactical choice carries weight.

What players say
Players praise the grand campaign and realistic combined-arms combat, but say the AI struggles and the user interface does not scale well above 1080p. Multiplayer connections are unreliable, and most recommend waiting for a sale.
