GamingUnion.net: "As a smaller developer and publisher (at least in North America) Atlus has been known first and foremost for their Japanese-influenced RPGs, namely their trademark Shin Megami Tensei franchise. The Persona series, a spin-off of that franchise, took its parent's RPG roots and in the latest entries added a unique dating simulation element to the mix that changed some events based on the player's actions. The Persona team's latest creation, Catherine, takes those simulation elements and wraps them around a seemingly commonplace genre: block puzzles. It certainly sounds unique but the question remains: does it come together into an enjoyable experience or is this an eccentric mash-up that's better left ignored?"
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 :)
Definitely gonna pick this up at some point. The whole moral themes intrigue me.
Good game is good.
