Catherine: Full Body Reviews
Catherine Full Body offers up a nice blast from the past with some new twists to keep things fresh. The added multiplayer keeps you playing the hard puzzles over and over again. The gameplay in the campaign isn't for everyone though.

Catherine Full Body really has gone from a love triangle to a love square. The introduction of Rin into the story hasn’t just been bolted on as an additional chapter, it’s been integrated into the whole Catherine experience. And by implementing new difficulty options, the game is now accessible for all types of players and combats the difficulty spikes of the original game. Saying that, there are still themes in the game that not everyone will be able to agree with and it is most certainly a mature game that deals with mature situations.
If you enjoy tricky practical puzzles and wacky Japanese stories then you'll love Catherine: Full Body.
Accessible, engaging, though-provoking, and packed full of content, Catherine: Full Body is one of those rare things: a perfect game.
Catherine: Full Body is yet another respectable remastered title from the guys at Atlus. Everything that made the original great is still here and there are honest attempts to address or fix story or character issues with the addition of new scenes and scenarios. If you enjoyed the original, there is just enough to have you come back, and if you missed out on this underrated gem before, now's the best time to jump in.
Catherine: Full Body's narrative contributions may ultimately serve to hinder what was an otherwise thoughtfully written story about self-discovery, but the overall improvement when it comes to gameplay is almost staggering.
Catherine is a rare game - it's one that handles sex themes with maturity and nuance, and then folds gameplay elements into the narrative themes that are enhance the core narrative.
Thank you to Sega for providing a code for this review!
Its gender depictions might not have aged like fine wine, but there's still nothing quite like Catherine: Full Body. Whether you play it as an anime visual novel, a nightmarish puzzle or bizarre fighting game, it's a richer experience all-round.
Catherine: Full Body brings additional content inconsequentional to the story and great improvements to the gameplay. Regardless of the version you choose, Catherine continues to be a great experience to players interested in great stories or unconventional puzzles.

Catherine: Full Body shows how a good title can be made even better by making a series of changes to provide a new experience even for old fans. The new contents of the game are so engaging and of course fascinating that one cannot easily abandon them. In addition to the strong storyline that is highly replayable because of its numerous endings, there are other parts of the game that can entertain you for a long time

It's unfortunate, since the voice acting, visuals, and overall cinematic direction of both cutscenes and gameplay are all excellent. This game is the product of a passionate and talented team. It's just a shame that their efforts were all in service to writing that is cynical, regressive, outdated, and just plain exhausting.
Catherine: Full Body is as much of a joy to play as it ever has been.
The price tag is a little daunting, though. I can’t help but feel like $40 would be a better price, since paying a full $60 for a game you’ve already played before is a bit of a hard sell. I’d recommend waiting for a sale, though if you’re a super-fan of Catherine and want it now, don’t let me stop you.
Catherine: Full Body reminds me of everything I loved about Catherine while providing a new and enhanced experience.
With Catherine: Full Body, it feels like Atlus was trying to find an acceptable midpoint between remake and remaster.
Catherine Full Body adds new story and game modes, making the game more fun to play. The cutscenes give us a story that is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the sokoban parts are interesting too.

Catherine: Full Body is a laudable remaster. It introduces a new route through a well orchestrated twist, but if you don't want to take it you will find again the same psychological attention and character development. The game is a sincere work about the man and its bonds and will to overcome adversities. You should give it a chance if you don't have played on previous generation, but this time even the original players may find a reason to come back to block-climbing.

Catherine: Full Body has more interesting things to say about relationships that are dragged down by a story too cynical to let it shine.
Catherine: Full Body takes the 2011 cult classic to the next level. With new story elements, remixed stages, and compelling characters, this title is sure to satisfy old fans and newcomers alike.
