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 zippy, over-the-top robot romp through vibrant sci-fi worlds with constant blasting and whimsical buddy banter.

What players say

Players compare Akimbot to Ratchet & Clank and Jak and Daxter, with many praising the movement and variety of activities like racing and space shooting. However, opinion is split on the sidekick Shipset, who many find grating or too similar to Claptrap. Some say the game is too short, the level design is uninspired, and the weapon upgrade system feels limited.
