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 relentless, punishing journey through a ruined world where you wade through enemies, solve environmental puzzles, and rely on magic and a whip to survive.

What players say

Players are split on Darksiders 3. Many praise the story, combat, and metroidvania exploration once it clicks, but others criticize technical issues like stuttering and a broken framerate, the lack of a map, frustrating backtracking, and unreliable dodge windows that make the souls-like difficulty feel unfair. Reviews consistently note it is easier than most souls-likes.
