Catherine is a game for anyone who's ever feared commitment, dreaded aging, felt their heart stray, dealt with a pregnancy scare, spent long booze-soaked hours commiserating with pals at the local dive bar, or simply questioned the direction their life is going as they close in on middle age. It's for other people, too, but you guys out there with thinning hair and thickening waistlines are going to find a lot more to relate to in Catherine than you might expect from a mere video game. Sure, it's all wrapped in a bizarre story about sheep men trying to climb blocks to save their lives, but the uncanniness here just defines the down-to-earth humanity of the story all the more.
Catherine isn't a game for everyone, it's true. But in an era increasingly defined by developers' ever-growing fear of creating anything that isn't a safe, conservative million-seller, Atlus' willingness to create and publish something as unique as this is truly commendable. Best of all, it's not just a weird game -- it's a great one, too.

Вердикт из рецензии 1U. Оценка – чистая «A», что в переводе на нашу систему означает десятку. Звучит заманчиво, тем более что релиз Catherine состоится совсем скоро – 26 июля. Правда, речь пока что идет только о США – у Atlus нет планов по изданию игры в старом свете
