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 methodical, emotionally weighty trek through a cold and brutal Norse world, paced by deliberate combat and the quiet tension between a father and his son.

What players say

Players praise the emotional story and the bond between Kratos and Atreus, along with satisfying combat and a strong PC port. Some find the middle section repetitive with reused boss fights, and a few review bombs protest Sony's disc and account policies.
