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 deliberate and methodical sandbox where you slowly expand your galactic empire through research, diplomacy, and war.

What players say
Players praise the depth and variety of its alien races, though they note the game requires all major DLCs to feel complete. A few report frustration with DLC removals and lack of Spanish localization.
