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

Driving feels responsive and demanding, with a focus on realistic off-road handling and the pressure of competitive rally stages.

What players say

Players praise the physics and wheel support as top-tier rally sim, but widely condemn the invasive anticheat that blocks Linux and causes launch problems. Performance is a mixed bag, split between those with severe CPU bottlenecks and stuttering and those who get it running. Career mode is considered shallow, and graphics are seen as a step back from Dirt Rally 2.0.
