Catherine’ is the latest game from the team behind the excellent ‘Shin Megami Tensei: Persona’ titles. The Persona games, particularly those on PS2 were some of the best RPGs ever made, so it’s great to see the developers make the move to the current generation of consoles. In an odd move, Catherine is not an RPG, but an action/puzzle game, in which players must guide main character Vincent up a series of movable blocks. The closest comparison I could make would be Kurushi crossed with Mr. Driller, but that doesn’t quite explain it.
Deadly Premonition is a pretty weird game, but all of these absolute oddities are even weirder.

The subject of this Looking Back article is something a little different however, as it deals with infidelity and the fallout that comes the way of the straying main character. Intrigued? Well, come with me to the weird world of 2011’s Catherine!"
From Xfire: "Anyone who's played video games for a couple of years has stuck around long enough to stumble across a few weird ones. Some are even quite popular, which is all the more reason why you'll wonder what made the developers think about making such a game and why people are loving it, despite its weirdness anyway. Not all weird video games are head-scratches. Some are actually quite good."
The stick of truth is a must have for any South Park fans. I spent a good afternoon on Goat simulator, a rare real open world. I planned to try hatoful boyfriend since it was free on Ps Plus. Disco Elysium is on my radar since the final cut came out; as soon as there is a discount, i will take it. Like movies, i like weird games too :)
