343 you blew it and from the looks of it you are determined to keep blowing it.

«Waste of time»

Favorite Thing: It's a great game in the Souls genre. It's nice having a story without having to read every speck of dirt. Least Favorite Thing: They went way overboard on the difficulty. Sucks the fun right out of it at times.

"Bravo Six, goin' dark."

This review is based only on the SP campaign, which is awesome. The story is edgy without being too much, voice acting is top notch in characters like Kyle, Price, Farah, etc..., the NV graphics are unbelievably good and it is overall a good story which teases at an even better game coming next. The campaign is a bit too short though IMO and the ending seems like a bit too much of a "Fast & Furious" sort of ending which I dislike given the flow of the rest of the campaign.

8.0/10

Update: Game finished. Performs like shit on a base PS4 but the story is so good and the ending is imo, very satisfying. I can't wait to see the next one.

The game still performs like crap on a base PS4 but once you get used to its traversal mechanics pretty well, this game is just plain good. I'll admit, I really wasn't expecting this game to be even close to as good as it is. The story is so much better than I expected and you're always (At least I was) guessing what's going to happen next. Skills are dope and once you reach a certain point that I won't spoil, finally ecstasy.

Okay so, this is a game of high highs and very low lows.

The combat is FUN, I mean, I'm only like 5 hours in and I already have a dual bladed light saber? YES PLEASE THANK YOU.

The characters seem pretty likable and dope so far.

Music is Star Wars'y and I dig it.

I dig the worlds so far

Now on to the negatives.

Holy shit this runs badly on a base PS4.

Cutscenes are a total mess, causing lag and even completely stopping the game for them to load. (This led to one event in particular bugging out and ruining the moment.)]

Back tracking is a goddamn disaster and needs to be revamped.

The "Souls like" bonfire BS sucks as does the incredibly low stim count at start considering they don't heal for shit.

Overall, I like this game enough to give it a pass but it's bogged down by some humongous issues that keep it from being a great game.

All in all a splendid adventure that keeps you playing on and on, with a gorgeous design and a marvellous story

Catherine Classic is a remarkable story driven "jump'n'run - puzzle game" which follows the story of Vincent Brooks, who's haunted by supernatural nightmares.

These are caused by the inner conflict between his feelings for his long-time girlfriend Katherine and an affair with a beauty named Catherine.

Half anime, half puzzle-game, Catherine Classic is divided into two parts.

The daytime, where Vincent is awake and mostly at the "Stray Sheep" bar.

And the night-time, containing several levels with the goal is to climb a tower of blocks and escape the nightmares.

Even though the game's been released 8 years, graphics and facial expressions are better than some games I've played before.

The only thing which annoyed me is that the game pauses every time the narrator or someone else says something... Even if it's non-tutorial stuff

But that's just an minor detail

Something I very liked are the fun facts about drinks and alcohol you receive while drinking at the "Stray Sheep"

Also, the more drunk you are at daytime, the faster you can move in your nightmares.

!!! Unfortunately this doesn't work in real life so be careful and also don't drink and drive !!!

Also, I honestly recommend playing the nightmare parts with a d-pad for better control

I played round about 30 hours all in all on normal. But there are eight endings so you can definitely play it several times and try to reach every one of them.
