Catherine

So I recently bought and beat Catherine (one ending anyway) and I honestly have to say it was a fun experience. I have to admit I was rally skeptical of the game at first but after seeing more and more trailers I was hooked. I paid for the deluxe edition and sat at my door waiting for it to be delivered (I probably should have waited a day or two since the game hadn't been released yet.)

Ok, so enough gushing why should this game interest you. If you enjoy a great story line and fun and challenging gameplay then this might just be a sure fit. the game is about Vincent a 32 year old guy who is caught between advancing his relationship with his long time girlfriend 'Katherine' and his new found affair with a young hottie name 'Catherine'. All while dealing with horrible nightmares he has been having every night.

Now I don't want to spoil much but I will tell you that this game will have you watching each cutscene wondering just what till happen next. And with several different endings it will have you coming back for more.

Gameplay: The puzzles in this game are fun and challenging, at times they can seem cruel but with determination you can get your way through them. I will admit that the curve does kinda get loopy at one point and some of the puzzles are frustrating but in the end you will feel rewarded.

The cast: Each character in this game adds a lot to the overall feel and no one really feels pointless. Vincent's circle of friends do a great job of keeping the story going and giving you some humor to lighten things up.

BUY/RENT/IGNORE/DESTROY: I would have to say this game is a solid buy if you enjoy puzzles and a dating sim-like environment. If you feel kinda iffy on playing the game due to difficulty or the subject matter I would say see if you can rent a copy. I have only beaten the game on normal so I can't say much about the other difficulties as of yet but I did a few levels on hard and trust me it will kick your teeth in. This game brings a lot to the table and some may wish it had more length to it but it does a great job with the time it gives you and trying to obtain all the endings does add a lot of replay value.
