Katamari Damacy Reroll is out on PC, and all about little issues turning into massive, rolling their means by way of obstacles that appeared unattainable moments prior. Let’s give the diminutive Prince Of All Cosmos a hand, as a result of his PC debut feels so very small in comparison with yesterday’s awards silliness and right this moment’s Smash Bros overload. Together, with slightly push, we will make it massive – John reviewed it yesterday, and had a thoroughly lovely time with it. You most likely will too, as Katamari is sort of a poncho – it’s impossible to be unhappy playing it. The launch trailer is rolling by under.
Some games are simply good for the soul. Katamari Damacy isn’t particularly arduous or deep, but it surely’s a relentless stream of foolish sight gags wrapped up in a intelligent shell that only a few have imitated since. It’s moreish and huge, like snarfing an enormous bag of popcorn all by your self solely with out the obscure sense of guilt afterwards. The sequence additionally has universally good music – offbeat, cheerful Japanese weirdness – that you simply’ll most likely be buzzing at inappropriate moments for months to come back. It’s only a massive ol’ clump of excellent vibes, and discovering a brand new dwelling on PC because of new developer Monkeycraft.
While you’ll clearly desire a trendy twin-analogue controller to play this (it was designed particularly round that management setup), a fast correspondence with some buddies and the Steam boards suggests the PC model is in impolite well being. If there’s something to complain about, it’s that they’ve simply chosen the unique game within the sequence to remaster, as a substitute of the extra wildly inventive later ones. No rolling up your entire universe for us but, however I suppose you could begin small if you wish to make one thing massive. Here’s hoping for the PS3 and Vita games with all of the DLC included later.
Katamari Damacy Reroll is out now on Steam and Humble for £16/€20/$30, and revealed by Bandai Namco.
