On the other hand, Catherine Full Body for Nintendo Switch, has some errors, first of all, the story when introducing the character of Rin loses a lot, because Vincent's existential problem for having cheated on Katherine is not felt so much, and all for introduce a character from the LGBT community, who was worst of all. I do not understand why that need to forcefully put characters from this community everywhere, especially when they do not fit well into the story, the message that the game wants to give is applauded, but it is not necessary that they give us classes of tolerance. It seems incomprehensible to me.
    Despite this, it is a game that I recommend, although if you want a better experience, play the original Catherine game.    … Expand

    Funnily enough, the new FB content is the weakest part of the game.
    The new character is just superfluous, but will be shoved in your mouth every five minutes.

    Great game with a unique vibe around the idea of mid-life things like starting a family, relaxing at a bar after work, meeting other girls (one way or another), and making decisions that feel important. The gameplay may be enjoyable - it's definitely unique. It feels very infuriating, especially when the story is that great - it feels like the puzzles are just a 20-40 minute cooldown onGreat game with a unique vibe around the idea of mid-life things like starting a family, relaxing at a bar after work, meeting other girls (one way or another), and making decisions that feel important. The gameplay may be enjoyable - it's definitely unique. It feels very infuriating, especially when the story is that great - it feels like the puzzles are just a 20-40 minute cooldown on it; in addition to the Diva popping out and taking you out of the moment, lots of ways the game delays / prolongs the stories. I think the game/main story is enhanced by the other people's dialogue but often is unrelated - just like irl. I'd much prefer watching a playthrough of a full route and any dialogue from that character/relating to that "girl" than playing it out. Would easily be a 9-10 if that was a thing. But is a 7-8 as it is, I just don't like how slowed down the game is.… Expand

    I was left cold by the "adult content," but was totally enthralled with its brainy gameplay! [Issue #49 – November/December 2020, p. 66]

    Catherine Full Body is an excellent game, regardless of your platform. The story is excellent and takes different directions and places according to the player's decisions. The puzzle is initially simple, but it becomes challenging and addictive as you progress through the game. This is not only a classic of Atlus, but also one of their best titles and it certainly deserves more prominence.

    Catherine: Full Body is about the prices people are willing to pay, in more ways than one. In terms of story, we have to see what sorts of sacrifices Vincent is willing to make to accommodate his comfort, bridge gaps with people around him, and survive. With the port, we’re seeing what had to be done to get it working. If that means a little bit of blurriness and feeling like you might be due for a new prescription, especially in handheld mode, so be it.
