However, there is a ton of additional content, which also results in actual narrative changes. It’s the same story (sort of) with the same visual style, level structure, many of the same cutscenes, so on and so forth. But at the same time, Catherine also seemed to want to explore why cheating can’t always be black and white, how sexuality and romance can be as painful and messy as any other part of life, and how important it can be as a person to be decisive.Ĭatherine: Full Body is pretty much a remake.


The story’s core conflict was infidelity, from a protagonist who seemed incapable of being honest. Thematically, Catherine also tackled love and relationships in ways video games seldom do, especially in the RPG space. It was a striking, strange game, that took the look and vibe of Persona but applied it to a puzzle game more reminiscent of Q*bert than Shin Megami Tensei. And despite it being such a strange little project comprising some unique and compelling play, time has not been kind to Catherine’s narrative ambitions, or frankly, lack thereof.Ĭatherine hit in 2011, after Personas 3 and 4 helped bring Atlus into a much brighter spotlight than ever before. Revisiting Catherine has been a strange experience, as with such a long gap of time comes just as many personal changes as the external.

Nonetheless, it has its cult status, and the team has revisited its grand experiment-slash-genre blend with more content, more options, and a brand new character and accompanying route. Catherine, a game from Atlus’ Persona team that seemed edgy at the time, almost feels tame today. Complex social ideas have gained more mindshare, and at the same time, media like video games have strived to grow along with the social discourse. Communities on the margins have grown louder and stronger, and the pushback against them has tried to do the same. It’s 2019, and the world is a very different place than it was towards the beginning of the decade. When downloaded, you can also select Joker as a playable character in Colosseum.Out of necessity of reviewing the new content, this review contains spoilers for the new “Rin” Route in Catherine: Full Body! If you don’t want spoilers, come back later when you’ve finished the game! The spoiler-free take? It’s a largely appealing game hampered by some mean-spirited and poor writing choices that undermine many of the very things the game is trying to do. You’ll also be able to enjoy small event scenes with the Phantom Thieves upon clearing stages. As you climb, voices from members of the Phantom Thieves will be heard. When playing as Joker, popular music from Persona 5 will be played as players climb and the blocks pile up. With it, Joker will be added as a playable character in the Babel and Colosseum modes.
