Video Game Review – Catherine: Full Body

by

Shaun Munro reviews Catherine: Full Body… Atlus’ stridently singular puzzle-platformer Catherine passed many by – this critic included – upon its original 2011 release, but anything beyond a cursory glance at the game’s cover art or gameplay confirmed it to be an eye-catching offering, both in spite and because of its controversy.
