    Big fan of the original Catherine game, regardless of what you may or may not think of the addition of Rin, it changes up the flow and it creates a different narrative with the same classic puzzle game play. Some quality of life updates and a third path to pursue, would definitely call this the definitive edition of Catherine. Buy if you want to support Atlus and/or want more Catherine.

    Loved the first Catherine on the Xbox and now we get the full experience with all the dlcs included. Handheld mode makes this game 10x better for me. It is truly an amazing game filled with iconic moments and addicting gameplay. Though it may be not for everyone, its well worth playing, at least one time. But if you do like the puzzle-solving and the characters, you'll be highly rewarded.Loved the first Catherine on the Xbox and now we get the full experience with all the dlcs included.

Hope we get Persona 5 at some point as well, so this is a great chance to support Atlus. Anyway, its a 9/10 for me, but being able to play it anywhere makes this game a 10/10… Expand

    Loved watching the game back in 2013 on Pewdiepie’s channel, never played the Full Body version so i’m really pleased this came to switch.

    A great port of a great game. Technically, everything is excellent. Upsets only slow online, when the terrible sagging begins and the game becomes very uncomfortable.

    Este es un juego que merece la pena solo por la original propuesta que presenta su mezcla de géneros, sin dejar de ser un spin-off de SMT, aunque tarde en verse. La historia es bastante original para un juego, así como el anti-heroe que tenemos como protagonista, pero mucho más mundano que los anti-heroes que presentan otros juegos.

La historia es bastante original para un juego, así como el anti-heroe que tenemos como protagonista, pero mucho más mundano que los anti-heroes que presentan otros juegos. El sistema de puzzles es original y la toma de decisiones hacía los diferentes finales es la típica de SMT. Sin embargo tiene sus puntos negativos. Primero es el tema de la rejugabilidad: el juego presenta varios modos y dificultades que aumentan la rejugabilidad, factor importante dados los múltiples finales y las diferentes decisiones que podemos tomar durante la partida que decidirán también el destino de los secundarios, pero aún así, después de dos o tres partidas se hace pesado y acabaras saltándote los niveles así como la historia (cosa que puedes hacer si ya los completaste en ese modo de dificultad. Como segunda cosa, la variedad de desafíos en los niveles podría haber sido algo mayor y no estar solo artificialmente aumentada con el minijuego del bar (cuya música acabaras odiando si quieres completarlo).… Expand

    Spoiler free:
    the game is everything you want from an Atlus game: style, intrigue and characters you indulge with, puzzle game play is fun, if not a bit simplistic, but its clearly not the focus of the game: feels a lot like an old novela-style game with all the modern twists and re-entries
    the new additions were well intertwined in the old story to not disrupt the original game too    Spoiler free:

    the new additions were well intertwined in the old story to not disrupt the original game too much, but it does feel a bit out of place, considering the villains plot does not account for said new path, which makes it starkly contrasted with the other options

    third character addition overall do was good, and took me by suprise on the first playthrough, so immidiately sat down for a second playthrough for that path

    Overall a really good game for a short and multiple playthrough puzzle/story game which oozes style and vibes still today    … Expand

    Catherine: Full Body maintains an innovative gaming experience. It mixes 2 genres that usually don´t get along to make something fun. It´s a challenging game but it completely worth the trying.

    Juego muy interesante por su historia y narrativa, donde nos va sumergiendo a través de las pesadillas de su protagonista en una serie de puzzles que para mi gusto se hacen un poco tediosos. Por lo demás gran juego que invita a la rejugabilidad.

    Due to the fact the this game even remotely looks good on the switch, I have to say that atlas has been slaking because clearly Persona 5 uses the same engine as Catherine. Other wise this is a perfect puzzle game with a great twist in the middle of its story. A must play for switch and ps4 owners.

    I thought this game was fantastic. It's not perfect but i honestly don't know what makes me only give it an 8. It feels like a perfect port for the switch for these semi difficult puzzle/plat-former. The cutscenes are really well done and the animation is great.

And I like how graphic the language is compared to the persona games where everyone curses regularly because they're all adults unlike high schoolers. I honestly just mainly wish this game was longer because I forgot how short it is and the day after it came in the mail I ended up beating it. Which is fine because honestly any longer this game would probably too dragged out. But there are 12 other endings and I do look forward replaying it at some point just to get the other true endings that exist. Overall, I highly recommend this game to anyone whole likes puzzle platforming or anime or both this is perfect. Or a fan of other Atlus games, this one is another gem.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Un juego muy divertido, donde todas las decisiones que tomes influirán en la historia. El juego dispone de 13 finales, algunos de estos son bastante complicados. En la gramola del bar puedes elegir música de la saga Persona que ha sido incluida como extra. También puedes elegir voces para Catherine que son nuevas, alguna de estas son también de la saga Persona. No le pongo más nota porque el nivel de dificultad de los puzzles llega a ser bastante difícil en algunos momentos. Aún así es muy recomendable, además no es tipo de juego que suele salir en occidente.… Expand

    Un jeu très mature sur Switch avec la patte Atlus. Excellent design dans l'univers Persona, drôle, musique jazzy et scénario délirant. La version full body ajoute un personnage féminin, et de nombreux dénouements sont possible. Une excellente pioche !

    While the story and characters are almost flawlessly fleshed out and the addition of Rin makes the game seem a lot more complete than the original version, the game play begins to get extremely old towards the end.

    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.
