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
Building and commanding armies across vast historical landscapes feels deliberate and grand, with a focus on resource management and tactical combat.

What players say
Players love the base game's multiplayer but are split on the single-player campaigns, which some find soulless and others enjoy. The DLC is harshly criticized as low quality and pay-to-win, with overpowered new civs. Performance is a frequent problem, with many reporting constant crashes even years after release.
