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.

What players say

Players split on The Veilguard. Many long-time fans say the writing is childish and the tone clashes with the dark fantasy roots of earlier Dragon Age games. Others enjoy the combat and visuals but agree the companions and dialogue feel shallow and overly polished.
