Catherine: Full Body Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Those problems feel fairly minor, however. Catherine: Full Body is as much of a joy to play as it ever has been. If you’re wanting to play on a big TV, the PS4 version of the game is the clear way to go, but getting absorbed in the game’s excellent narrative or sinking your teeth into a puzzle is hugely rewarding in handheld mode. You’re not going to regret picking it up on Switch, put it that way.
Catherine is certainly a fun and challenging game, both in its gameplay and story and character elements. In some of these moments it succeeds, in others, it fumbles, and falls flat on its face. But that doesn't mean it's unimportant, as it is good to learn from mistakes made previously in order to improve at a later point in time.
Originally released in 2011, Catherine became a cult classic due to its oddities and innovation. Part visual novel and part block puzzler, gamers fell head over heels for Catherine. With several new additions and improvements, Atlus has released Catherine: Full Body, but will this be a loving stroll down memory lane or a painful and forgettable fling?
Vincent Brooks was a hapless idiot. He was innocent enough, well-meaning, but entirely socially inept and seemingly incapable of holding things together. It always felt as if the horrific things happening to Vincent were placed upon him, not his fault, and he was a victim. But not anymore. Catherine: Full Body expands Vincent's story in new ways, and we see a different side to our protagonist, one that's not quite so innocent or flattering, and for better or worse (mostly worse) it forever changes a favored character of a cult classic game.
Catherine Full Body is a enhanced version of 2011’s Catherine, a social interaction and puzzler with elements of the horrific. It’s unique enough to have instantly captured my interest back in the day and still stands up now in 2019.
Even though Catherine debuted in 2011, it's still regarded as one of the most unique games ever created and now that an exciting remake is out, a new generation of gamers can see what all the hubbub is about.
Catherine: Full Body is a marked improvement over the original Catherine, offering more ways to play for those who want to experience an engaging yet slightly problematic story.
Catherine: Full Body is the remake of 2011’s romantic simulation puzzle mashup, Catherine. You play as Vincent, who is introduced as being “earnest and kind
Still one of the few video games to deal with love and relationships in anything like a realistic manner, but the attempts to shoehorn in an extra new character fall flat.
Over the past decade I have largely avoided revisiting Catherine because I knew that it likely had not aged well, and I didn’t really want to spoil the good memories I had of playing the game. My tastes have changed a lot over the years, and while I’ve gained a new appreciation for the incredible puzzle-solving gameplay, I’ve been utterly astounded at just how poorly the story has aged. It’s unfortunate, since the voice acting, visuals, and overall cinematic direction of both cutscenes and gameplay are all excellent. This game is the product of a passionate and talented team. It’s ju…
You are Vincent Brooks, 32 years old, in Catherine: Full Body. You’re relationship with Katherine McBride, someone you knew from high school, now reconnected. People are asking if you’re going to settle down. You’re not sure, so you confide with your friends at your favourite hangout, the Stray Sheep Bar. The night of drinking segues into a nightmare, a dream of a crumbling tower. Some voice asks you about philosophical topics. You wake up in bed, with not-Katherine. Welcome to the sta...
Catherine was an especially unique game when it released in 2011 and its rerelease eight years later as Catherine: Full Body is no different. Developed by Atlus, the team that brought you the Persona games, along with Studio Zero, Catherine: Full Body is just as fun, humorous, and weird as...
