The usual absurd gameplay slightly expanded and improved.
Levels always out of control and very varied
Audiovisual sharing is always excellent.

A game that lives up to the originals in every way
Content manager, missions, collectibles, and secondary objectives
The new songs perfectly capture the spirit of the franchise.
Content manager, missions, collectibles, and secondary objectives
The new songs perfectly capture the spirit of the franchise.
Some features of the levels, such as not being able to stop the Katamari because of ocean currents/wind, can be quite frustrating.
Even though it's a nice addition, Katamaribol could have offered much more as a competitive mode.
If you want all the classical music (as advertised in the game), you must pay the same price as the game in DLCs.

Good quantity of collectibles
You can make a Katamari of dinosaurs.

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The controls are rigid, outdated, and frustrating, functioning more like a barrier than as part of the challenge.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.
