Games.ch
Catchy soundtrack
Ten eras with many levels
Variable stages for more replayability
Twisted humor
Simple game principle that is addictive
Simplified control for beginners in gender
The camera is not always clean.
Closure conditions formulated too vaguely
KatamariBall against the rather boring AI
The level of difficulty for veterans may be a little too low.

Multiplayer.it
A formula that remains fun even twenty years later
Irresistible soundtrack
Many ideas that make the game stimulating
We would have liked to have more creative tools.
Progressing through the collectibles did not drive us crazy.
KatamariBall is a not so successful addition

GameSpot
Small tweaks make moment-to-moment gameplay the best it?s ever been
Story feels more complete while writing remains every bit as humorous and whimsical
Visuals and J-pop inspired soundtrack are absolutely delightful
Features some truly memorable levels and environments
Lacks the features and innovation needed to propel the series to the next level
New items are a great touch, but lack the impact needed to be game-changing fun

Nintendo Life
Rolling things up is a pure, addictive sensory delight
Two control schemes and new power-ups add freshness to gameplay
Dozens of stages that offer replayability, collectibles, and objectives
Quirky cutscenes, low-poly visuals paired with a funky soundtrack
Recaptures the magic and spirit of the PS2 classics
Katamari Ball online multiplayer mode is a fun new spin on the formula
Brief loading pauses occur when the playable area expands
Switch 1 has more noticeable frame rate drops in busy moments
Occasionally too dialogue heavy, especially during gameplay

Shacknews
The first new Katamari in over a decade (unless Apple Arcade counts)
Tons of content to keep you busy
Many unlockables over several categories
Finding the crowns is annoying, especially as a progress gate
UI elements block the action, especially when the King is speaking
The King speaks a lot

Vandal
The central formula of rolling and growing remains incredibly hypnotic and satisfying.
Its artistic direction is unique, a minimalist low-poly chaos full of color that overflows with personality.
A fabulous and eccentric new soundtrack.
A conformist approach.
The controls are rigid, outdated, and frustrating, functioning more like a barrier than as part of the challenge.
The new scenarios, although varied, are static and lack originality and interactivity.
