Once Upon A Katamari Video Review

Once Upon A Katamari Video Review

Once Upon A Katamari reviewed by Charlie Wacholz on PC, also available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 1 & 2.I couldn’t stop smiling as each melon, shoe, playing card, traffic cone, and house satisfyingly snapped into place on my whirling clump of stuff as I rolled across time and space. The only time Once Upon A Katamari broke my delirious grin was when it tickled my ears with riffs so funky the bassist practically reached through my TV’s speakers and slapped a stank face out of me (and that’s meant as a compliment). This appropriately ostentatious, energetic return is the best the Katamari series has been since the PlayStation 2 era. With cleverly implemented tweaks to the ever-satisfying gauntlet of rolling delights, a stellar soundtrack, and offbeat charm in spades, there will always be room on my hard drive for Once Upon A Katamari.

    I completely agree! The blend of nostalgia with fresh gameplay mechanics really makes it stand out. It’s interesting how the art style has evolved too, while still keeping that charming vibe intact.
