Considering how awkward the Troy Baker soundalike was in the recent remaster of Tales Of Vesperia, I’m happy they shelled out the dough for the real deal. She now features prominently in the story, and thankfully Atlus brought back the original cast to record new dialogue for her sections, including Troy Baker reprising his role as Vincent Brooks, who probably cost a bit more now than he did in 2011. On top of the slight graphical and resolution upgrades, the biggest addition is the inclusion of a third potential love interest in the form of Rin. In this article, I’m going to focus on what’s new in Catherine: Full Body. In this light, Atlus’ decision to revisit Catherine with the new Full Body version is slightly perplexing, but still makes for an interesting look at how our hobby has evolved over the past decade.įor those wanting a detailed description of the core game, I suggest reading our previous review of the original Catherine, although with all due respect to the author, I liked it s ignificantly less than they did. Since then, gaming has grown up a bit and there’s been an assortment of titles that have approached the topics in Catherine with, frankly, a hell of a lot more nuance. Back when it came out, Catherine was lauded for broaching topics rarely seen in games at the time. It’s certainly an interesting game to revisit. Hot damn, doesn’t 2011 seem like an eternity ago? I remember buying Catherine upon release after I graduated college, so it’s been a while. WTF That butt monster thing that chases Vincent. LOW Vincent Brooks continues to be terrible.

HIGH The gameplay improvements make it oddly competitive.
