Catherine

[Moonpie2]

I have a vague memory in the back of my mind that says you're only allowed to talk about games that are released in the UK otherwise the powers that be might think you've pirated something ?
Did I just make that up ?

Anyway, the PS3 is multi-regional and Catherine is released in America soooo I'm gonna go ahead and post anyway

SO !!!

I came to a horrible conclusion last night while playing Catherine.

It might be a **** game

Let me be clear.
I love the production values, the kooky style, the uniqueness, the characters, the art, the moral decisions you have to make, the plot. I love almost everything about it apart from the actual game :/

Those god damn blocks are (insert strong expletive)
At first I thought I might just be **** at it, so I checked out some online vid solutions to see if there was any obvious technique I was missing. There isn't.
As far as I am concerned, it's just a case of luck and repetition that gets you through the levels. The narrator at the beginning of each level might as well just say "Try randomly pushing and pulling blocks until you fluke your way to the top"

So do I still enjoy 'Catherine' ?
Hell yeah.
Is it a good game ?
Of that I am not convinced !!!

Hmmm..... thought more people would be interested in discussing the kookyness that is Catherine tho.
Maybe because it's not out yet in the uk ?

Oh well

That's kinda where I am now.
"Ohhh man, another puzzle, please God, just let me fluke this as fast as possible so I can get to the good stuff"

Its not so pervy yet.
Although you do get lots of 'side-boob' and such

My advice, this is definitely a rental first as the demo really doesn't give you an accurate view on how annoying the puzzles get
