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, high-speed power fantasy where you rip and tear through demon hordes with brutal, acrobatic combat.

What players say

Players love the combat when it clicks, but many disagree on the platforming and the need to constantly swap weapons. The forced Bethesda login for single-player and the ruined Battlemode also draw criticism, while the soundtrack and optimization are praised.
