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 tense, open-world first-person shooter where you explore rural Montana, fight a fanatical cult, and use a variety of weapons and vehicles in cooperative or solo gameplay.

What players say

Players are split on whether this is the best or most repetitive Far Cry. The Montana setting, radio soundtrack, and villains like Joseph Seed get heavy praise, but the silent protagonist and samey missions wear thin. Co-op works well, though long load times and the Ubisoft Connect launcher frustrate many, and some resent the real ending being in DLC.
