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

Exploring Tyria feels like a relaxed, guided adventure where you can freely help others and discover the world at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise Guild Wars 2 for its horizontal progression that avoids the gear treadmill, making it respectful of their time. The community is often described as helpful, and the free base game with no subscription is a strong draw. However, some warn that the Steam version creates second-class accounts compared to the standalone client.
