Title: Late To The Affair: Catherine
Post by: Wrath2X on July 01, 2013, 09:36:51 PM
So Catherine is on PSN+ for free. After the Atlus news and previous interest in the title before the hype died down coming back I finally started playing it.

I've just passed Stage Four: The Inquisition. I love this game, arcadey puzzle game with a story you can explore further through hang out moments. I love arcade games, puzzle games, hang out moments in stories, mind fucks and weird horror. This game is full of them and it's story is actually interesting. I really enjoy the puzzles as I feel they are both simple yet elegant and the right kind of challenging. The bosses are creepy and awesome as fuck, the pacing is very good for a game that has a good amount of cutscenes and very different gameplay elements. This is the sort of Japanese game I've been looking to play for a while.

I'm assuming there won't be any sequels or spiritual successors due to sales and Atlus' troubles? I would like something like this to come along in the future. In the mean time I'm thinking I'm going to 100% this.

I thought the game sold really well (for an Atlus game anyway)? It's great either way. Best puzzle game this gen & one of the best games Atlus has ever made.

Yeah I'm pretty sure they said something about a sequel for this since it sold really well for them. Of course they kind of don't entirely exist at the moment so it may be a while.

There's some absurd difficulty spikes but it's really fun.

Great game. If you like Catherine play some of their other stuff.

This is the only Atlus game I've beaten and I love the shit out of it. Easily one of my favorites from this gen.
