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 breezy, arcade-style golf game with cheerful characters and fast-paced rounds that feel more like a friendly social outing than a serious simulation.

What players say

Players split on this one. Long-time series fans say the swing timing loop and big single-player content are intact, with 100 hours across challenge and world tour modes, but several felt it regressed from older games, missing character creation and free roam. Others report the launch was buggy, with weird ball physics and an AI partner in scramble matches that constantly misses.
