#Catherine full body ps5 ps3#
Aware that the title's difficulty had become a drawback for many players in the PS3 era, Atlus has also now implemented a 'Safety' mode, which removes the challenge aspect completely and allows those who wish to simply enjoy the story to do so without any risk of getting stuck on the puzzle sections. Easy proves to be very uneven - it stimulates you to think carefully some of the time but in general you can quickly figure out the way to the top.
Which leaves the easier difficulty modes. Ice blocks make Vincent slide towards the edge of the stage, while exploding or trap blocks can kill him instantly. On top of that the game adds different types of blocks as you progress, to spice up the challenge. The puzzle gameplay is highly demanding in terms of logic, because you need to calculate countless moves and possibilities in advance, but you also need to think fast because the ground is collapsing under Vincent, making him fall if you don't climb quickly enough. Therein lies my only problem with Catherine: Full Body - namely that normal mode feels excessively difficult, to the point I wanted to throw the towel very quickly during some of these segments. The rules are simple, but in actual practice the level are not easy to complete. Vincent has to move the blocks and make stairways so as to reach the top. Every dream is made of several stages in which Vincent must climb gigantic walls built on blocks. Of course, there's a hidden truth behind these nightmares and the end of the game contains its fair share of shocking reveals. The trouble is that he has nightmares every night - and not your usual nightmare, since dying while sleeping means he never wakes up. There's also a full extra stage after the final boss, corresponding to her narrative route.Īfter a few drinks, Vincent goes back home to sleep. In terms of personality, she's calm and kind, so pretty much the kind of female companion that was lacking in the original game. I'll keep my description short in order to avoid spoilers, but suffice it to say that this character's story further explores the question of love and relationships in general.
Of course, the main addition to Catherine in Full Body is the third potential girlfriend - Qatherine (commonly called Rin). You really have the sensation of living an adventure with them and reaching each character's ending makes you empathise with them. Every secondary character also has his or her own story, often tragic but very detailed, which allows you to experience numerous storylines and not just Vincent's. I would especially like to mention the bartender, who has a unique accent and plenty of hilarious stories about women. The other clients in the bar are also interesting, for example each character is fully voiced by famous Japanese voice actors and the dialog is fantastic, properly developing their personalities. While the game has clever dating elements, there's a lot more to character interactions than that. I want to stress that the system is very precise it even allows you to choose every sentence in responding to text messages! Depending on what you do at the bar, the final chapter is going to look very different from one playthrough to the next. Each choice directly impacts the end of game, since they modify Vincent's relationship with all the Catherines as well as with secondary characters. Unwilling to marry Katherine, should Vincent tempt fate and go with Catherine? It's up to you, the player, to decide.Įach day commences at the bar, where the player has a limited number of actions they can perform, such as talking to other costumers or answering Catherine's and Katherine's calls and text messages. He's a regular costumer at a bar called the Stray Sheep, but one night at the bar his ideal life is disturbed by another Catherine (Catherine C), who openly tries to seduce him.
The player takes on the role of Vincent, an average man in his thirties, with a common job, a love of alcohol, and a girlfriend (Katherine) of several years. However, the puzzle aspect isn't the main attraction of the game, which is more so considered a large interactive visual novel about love and faithfulness. The final gift from Atlus to Japanese PS Vita players, Catherine: Full Body is an enriched and improved version of the 2011 PS3 & Xbox 360 puzzle game.
