Undeniably charming. Katamari Damacy holds up extremely well. It looks, sounds and feels great. Having originally been released nearly two decades ago, few games have managed to replicate this sort of appeal.
A fine example of what video games should be.

INSIDE is easily one of the most profound games ever created.
It embraces the fact that it is a game, confidently telling its story through its interaction with the player.
The environments are beautiful. Nature slowly fades away as you delve deeper into collosal concrete structures and human industry.
I can see how people may not find it 'fun' because there are no assault rifles and explosions, but this experience will stay with you longer than any first-person shooter.

It seems strange to criticise 'Everything' for not necessarily being a game as it clearly does not intend to be a 'game'.
Everything seems to achieve what it sets out to do which I believe is create a mystical sense of oneness across all forms of being.
I think the experience loses much of its impact by relying on samples of lectures from Alan Watts. The developers should be confident in their own medium, and should not have to rely so heavily on established works (especially Alan Watts).
Otherwise the experience is unique, and is totally worth dipping in to.
