Cute, bright, weird, and fast - like any good Katamari game should be. I still think We Love Katamari smokes Damacy any day of the week, but fully understand why this one got the first reroll given that it released prior (and it's still a damn fine game in its own right). Like the best remasters, does very little to change the original gameplay experience - essentially just adds a fresh coat of paint and calls it a day. You can't just deny that music either, good shit! The controls being purposefully obtuse makes it all the better imo, fits the funky tone like a glove and otherwise this would be way too easy. All that being said, I feel similarly towards this game as I do to - say - a Splatoon, where I can play it for a couple hours at a time and be totally invested but anything more than that starts to drag. And like others have said, this does get super repetitive on or around the halfway point. But man, when it's on... this gimmick is satisfying.
