Giant Bomb's Jeff Gerstmann writes, "You'll need to be adept at both if you want things to end your way, but Catherine's limited character interaction, shallow characters, and monotonous puzzles combine to form a unique experience that feels frustratingly limited in every respect."
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
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!"
I strongly disagree. I have it and its a great game IMO
Wow a 2? No good taste in games.
Awful review.
"It's certainly not awful, but too many aspects of Catherine felt like they were actively trying to push me away. More variety in the gameplay would have helped, as would more meaningful interactions with the game's cast."
Crap like this takes up space, and you look at it and there are words, but it doesn't actually SAY anything. This is the equivalent of a random fop on a forum saying, "it sucks," and not justifying that opinion any further. Reviews require more articulated and detailed prose.
If the title of the games was Catherine - Modern Warfare, they would have added another 2 points to the score.
Its an opinion... who cares?
We all know its not for everyone, obviously its not for Jeff.
