    I think the original Catherine is a masterpiece. Unfortunately their attempt to expand the story for this PS4 port could not deliver the same level of quality story/gameplay as the first game. While the skeleton of the game is intact, I think the addition of the new heroine is very forced. The rest of the story does not flow as well due to her inclusion, and the ultimate story resolutionI think the original Catherine is a masterpiece.

The rest of the story does not flow as well due to her inclusion, and the ultimate story resolution is lackluster when we finally find out her backstory. Other elements holding back this port is lighting, where the original had this creepy dark atmosphere, this port uses updated lighting making everything brighter and more cartoonish at times. Additionally, certain parts of the game are now censored for some heavier themes (and other times for little jokes that are suddenly deemed inappropriate). I recommend you seek out the original game on PS3 or Steam rather than playing this port.… Expand

    Loved the original of this game. 9/10. But found this rerelease a bit of a cash grab aimed at the LBGT gamers. Story is excellent, game play great, but puzzles / game levels can be problematic if your not an experienced player. this version gets a 7/10

    Not even close to Persona 5. I would say “just ok, not more”. Did not enjoyed game process much. Story nothing too special. Big thanks that if you want to see all endings, solves riddles again not necessary, can be skipped.

    Loved the original and that is all still there, did not feel the new character added enough variation in the story, I also felt the re-release could have done more to allow for a branching story early on. Still a great game but not really a required re-buy like P5 Golden.

    Good game. Interesting connection logic game with story subject. I had a lot of fun and I was hooked by the plot, but it's hard to recommend that game. If you like logical games, original thought-provoking stories, it's probably a game for you. If you not, you would probably bounce off that game because the story unfolds very slowly and have a very specific atmosphere.

    Oyunun kendisi 3 defa bitirdim, oyunun oynanışı kolay. Oyuncunun aklını oyun ile sıkmamışlar ve olabildiğince basit tutmuşlar. Hikayesinden aşırı keyif aldım. Zaten Playsation 3 oyunun remasterı olduğu için grafik konusunda bir beklentim yoktu.
    Her oyunun birbirine benzediği bu dünyada ferah bir hava katıyor oyun.

    Overall Catherine: Full Body is a great experience built for both new players and veteran players alike. Not settling for a simple remaster, Atlus really pulled out all the stops at making this worth the money. Even as bad as I was, it was still a fun time. With all the different endings I think I’ll return to the game on an easier difficulty to experience it all, because the writing is so good and the gameplay is challenging but when in a good flow it can be highly addictive. Anyone like me who may have skipped over Catherine’s original release should remedy that with Full Body.

    New endings mean the leading ladies feel slightly more fleshed-out, but those aforementioned old chestnuts have deep roots in the game’s numerous and extremely varied – er – routes. That is to say, it’s more of the same. Obviously that’s not a bad thing but, like marriage, it won’t be for everyone. [Issue@168, p.92]

    Full Body is another proof that Atlus and Shigenori Soejima are master storytellers, presenting this remake of cult PS3 classic as another improved lunge into depths of human emotion. It is funny, witty, dark and serious at the same time, all while pushing the player through difficult(or not so much on Safety mode) puzzle sequences, with some of the greatest OSTs rolling in the background.
