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 are deeply split. Many say it improves on Dying Light 2 but falls short of 1, with clunky parkour, tanky volatiles, and repetitive boss fights draining the fun. A vocal group finds the story weak and the map too small, while others love the return of Kyle Crane and smoother combat. Longtime fans report the series has lost its way.
