The editors didn't like
Overly demanding requirements for unlocking additional modes
Occasional camera and control troubles
Intimidating difficulty.
Audio track is louder on animated segments (or quieter during the rest of the game
If you prefer) and no online multiplayer. It’s very easy to get discombobulated if Vincent is crawling along block edges and ends up on the back of the tower. Have to beat the game to unlock Colosseum mode.Have to beat Normal difficult level Story mode levels with gold awards to unlock Babel stages.
Abstract: Catherine is honestly a game unlike any other. While many people are calling this a puzzle game with a gripping story, I would disagree. This is a story game first, a brilliantly woven narrative that uses puzzles to express the main character's inner turm...
Abstract: Maturity is currently the holy grail for many game developers. Many attempts at making a proper mature title have resulted in crass uses of bad language, sex and graphic violence which sadly demonstrate a stark lack of maturity in the games industry in...

Abstract: PlayStation 3At first glance, Catherine seemed like an innovative game that would lend itself well to the video game industry by showing other developers a new way to deliver puzzle games; I am sad to report that, although very interesting, Catherine w...
Abstract: Cathrine for PS3 is one of the most unusual games I have ever played. It is a puzzle game combined with a unique storyline that forces players to not only think about strategy, but their own lives. Interwoven throughout the gameplay are questions of mo...
Abstract: I didn't really know what to expect when Catherine was first announced. I was definitely expecting something twisted thanks to the core staff being responsible for the Persona series over the past few games. It wasn't until the demo that I was firmly o...
I did notice the warning of "partial nudity" on the ESRB rating, I found no such thing. I was expecting a more adult theme complete with bare ass or boobs, but what I saw was far from the case. Those of you worried about the possibility Catherine was goin...
Abstract: When I originally heard about Catherine I knew it was a title that I would be interested in just from the description… and the artwork. Atlus’ Persona Team and Studio4°C bring us this anime-styled adult romantic nightmare that is easily one of the most...
Abstract: Catherine is the latest release by developer Atlus, in their long lineup of bizarre supernatural tales. Atlus is best known for the Persona and Shin Megami Tensei series and Catherine follows in the footsteps of those previous titles. Unlike those fran...
