In a generation that has been flooded with sequels and first-person shooter clones, the release of Catherine is much welcome breath of fresh air. Atlus has masterfully managed to merge genres that have no right to work together, flaunting the end result in all our faces. It’s a game that’s so ridiculously challenging and rewarding, you might think you’re back in the glorious 90′s. If it wasn’t for the ill thought out unlocking method and slightly awkward 3D controls, Catherine would’ve been worthy of an astounding 10/10. As is stands, the consolation prize isn’t too bad…
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Deadly Premonition is a pretty weird game, but all of these absolute oddities are even weirder.

The subject of this Looking Back article is something a little different however, as it deals with infidelity and the fallout that comes the way of the straying main character. Intrigued? Well, come with me to the weird world of 2011’s Catherine!"
I'm glad to see positive reviews rolling in which I hope influence people to at least give this title a shot. Atlus are one of the very few developers this generation that hasn't fallen to the wayside in quality and fan support. More people need to support them.......
Definitely, Catherine is wonderful game with immense charm and a truly captivating story. As you can tell by our review, we wholeheartedly recommend a purchase.
