Catherine: Full Body

Catherine: Full Body offers a fresh new way to experience the 2011 PS3 classic with new twists and surprises galore.

The Full Body remaster of Catherine shows that its unique blend of action-puzzling and adult themes still holds up after almost a decade, even if its big new addition doesn't quite fit in.

Catherine: Full Body is still insightful, still troubling

Catherine: Fully Body contains many of the blemishes from the original but doubles down on the amount of puzzles, which is a net gain. If you already had your fill though, you may as well catch up on some of the new endings and call it a day.

Catherine: Full Body is the best way to experience an incredibly unique game. It oozes style eight years after its original release, and although its storytelling does stumble from time to time, this glimpse into the desperate life of Vincent Brooks is still more than worthy of your attention.

Catherine: Full Body is a fantastic revamp of a bonafide cult classic. With an excellent new character and several new endings slickly inserted into an already highly entertaining narrative – not to mention a slew of fun new modes – this is the definitive version of an outstanding game. If you've never played Catherine before then you're in for an absolute treat, and if you have, we'd say there's enough new content here to make it worth diving in all over again.

Catherine: Full Body is the definitive version of a cult classic game, in terms of gameplay. When it comes to the story and romance simulation side of the game, I can't help but feel it's a step down when compared to what we already had years ago. Still a great game that deserves to be experienced, but Catherine: Full Body should only be essential for those die-hard fans and the competitive scene, everyone else can wait for a sale.

With Catherine: Full Body, it feels like Atlus was trying to find an acceptable midpoint between remake and remaster.

Catherine: Full Body still delivers a truly singular experience even today: a boldly committed work that blends mature storytelling, logical challenges, and dark humor into a cohesive and captivating package. The abundance of extra content, strong visual presentation, and occasionally punishing yet ultimately rewarding gameplay make it an excellent experience overall. The only potential drawbacks are the difficulty, the controls, and the repetitive block-pushing sequences, which may frustrate some players—along with the fact that seeing all endings requires investing a considerable number of hours. That said, for those who are open to its unusual gameplay and its unconventional take on relationship issues, Catherine offers a genuinely unique experience that can linger in one’s memory for a long time.

Catherine: Full Body is to an extent both an expanded and a remake to the 2011 game Catherine. Developed by Atlus, Catherine is a tale of one man and his incredibly complicated love life. It’s a bizarre game filled with Demons, Sheep and a love triangle. While Catherine is a fine game and doesn’t necessarily need a reboot or remake, Catherine: Full Body takes everything from the main game and improves on it in every way.
