Catherine is an Anime Based Romantic Horror Puzzle Platforming game about a guy named Vincent who has a girlfriend named Katherine but cheats on her with a girl named Catherine. After Vincent sleeps with Catherine he starts to have nightmares about blocks and puzzles and if he dies in the nightmare he dies in real life.
Graphics- The Graphics in Catherine are an anime CGI sort of style. They have parts that are CGI and parts that are anime but still entertaining and nice on the eyes.
Gameplay- Gameplay is a mix of puzzle and platforming. You are stuck in a nightmare and you gotta climb to the top without dying. The puzzles are easy at first but brutal later on and the platforming can mess you up. The gameplay remains fun with bosses that instead of fighting you run from and they keep interesting with different styles of handling the situation. The cutscenes are a bit longer than usual and to make up all the levels of that "night" are bunched into one meaning cutscenes then only gameplay then it loops.
My Verdict- Catherine is a fun tease game that kept me occupied for 2 days. While short it kept me amused for the ride. My main annoyance and love is the difficulty level. A common complaint of mine is that games now a days are way to easy. This is remedied in this game as on easy on the later levels I found myself struggling and frustrated to the point of boiling over. The game later on gets frustrating to where you find yourself screaming obscenities and getting pissed off worse than a 12/13 year old Call Of Duty Player. This game really had me jaw dropped at the end with its stunningly unexpected ending that tore apart my whole fabric of playing.
This game was a great game for me and if you love Puzzle platforming japanese games get catherine. It will make your day.
