I'm not sure I need to spell out the conclusion here: I didn't like Catherine at all. It's sold as dark. Odd. Erotic. Eerie. It's not. Catherine commits the only unforgivable flaw in gaming: It's boring. Meaningless number! 56 % Pros Decent graphics Occasional fan service Sheep are cool Cutscenes are slick and well implemented Fairly "substantial" storyline Cons Awful characters Tedious storytelling through annoying cutscenes Serious control issues Read more
