I had only played the first 2 Katamari games (and then recently replayed the “Reroll” versions on PC) and was really looking forward to the newest Once Upon a Katamari. Unfortunately, I mostly hate the newest game and since instead of addressing any of the common complaints - like uneven level distribution, severely cluttered UI in levels, wonky physics compared to previous titles - the only developer announcements are for 2 more paid DLCs that are basically just music packs.
So, I’d also love some Katamari-like games if the official series is going to be handled so poorly and as frustrating to play.
I will probably check it out, but the Steam reviews give the impression it’s really short and lacking in replayability so I’m not very hopeful it’ll scratch the same itch. Thanks for the suggestion though :)
It is very short and not replayable, but the gameplay and story telling has a similar vibe. I wouldn’t pay much more than $5 for it, but it does seem to be on sale right now.
As far as the new one, it certainly handles differently. The only thing I really didn’t like was the power up/bonuses. Admittedly I’m a casual gamer. You did inspire me to pop in reroll (make a star for 1 min was absurd…).

It’s not exactly the same, but have you played Donut County?
