def try it

the technical issues are worth it for this incredible experience. just so full of joy and whimsy! such a good game to ply after a serious one (think Last of Us)

can be found very cheap on key websites which help to justify the short gameplay loop

Not Katamari, but definitely a quick bit of weird fun

I love Katamari and was hoping that this would evoke a similar feel. The first hour doesn't really have any explanation and so it was that same kind of fever dream feeling as katamari.

I love Katamari and was hoping that this would evoke a similar feel. The first hour doesn't really have any explanation and so it was that same kind of fever dream feeling as katamari.

Eventually you realize this is probably a game MAINLY for kids and the game part of it is kind of negligible . You can beat every element of it (if that's a thing for you) in probably less than 5 hours. I bet it would be a lot of fun to play with a young kid (probably show my nieces/nephews when they start playing games), but was mostly just a brainless cute diversion for an adult playing solo. Definitely not the depth or personality of Katamari

My gripes with this are purely technical. The camera and the controls always fought me, and even on my PS4 Pro the frame rate frequently tanked throughout the second half of the game. If I could ignore those issues though? Wonderful in that very special Keita Takahashi way. I hope it gets updates to improve the user experience.

Bullet Point Review

PROS

  • Adorable presentation, characters, and voice work
  • Genre-hopping, anything-goes structure is creative and ambitious, hopefully influencing other games to attempt something similar in the future
  • Humorous writing and tone is impossible to dislike
  • The pleasant, ever-evolving soundtrack is very well done

CONS

  • Horrendous controls, some of the worst in recent memory
  • Many objectives feels like chores
  • Loaded with technical issues …

My boyfriend and I started this last night. It is crazy and weird and cute and just a really fun time running around turning things into food and turning food into poop. And then making the poop gold, stacking it, and visiting other parts of the world. And dancing in circles around trees. And hat bombs.
