    Aestheticly pleasing experience, Graphic and Sound wise. A Masterpiece that aged like wine.

    Screw the **** that designed the cow and bear levels, what an absolute piece of frustrating garbage. Ruined the game for me.

    I loved the older Katamari version back in the days so I gave REROLL a try but I'm so dissapointed by this lazy piece of programming. Not only the presentation lacks modern standards and autosave is absent.
    The controls are plain terrible. You can choose easy controls but it still won't act like almost all modern games --> move the character with the left stick.

    After trying to like it for some hours I'm ready to give up on it. I'm stuck in a level but REROLLING is not fun for me.    … Expand

    Dissapointing port. Not 4K not even 60 Fps on any console. Secondly why just the first game that didnt even get a world wide release!! If We luv Katamari was also in there it might be worth, at least I would have had some naustalgia , but just one game out of a series of at least 5 games feels like a cheap cash grab. Especially since its barly been updated.

    This is a beautiful game, returning to its origins on PS4. For the price there's much more than $30 fun to be had and a good time for all. New control setup along with the classic controls so more accessible. Wonderful iconic soundtrack. Easily a must-play game.

    Great game and probably one of the most different ones. The only that you can pick a cat with a ball.

    Katamari Damacy Reroll is as good as you remember. While this remaster doesn't add any meaningful content, the core gameplay and stages remain addictive and fun. It's a relaxing and unique puzzle game with some outstanding colorful visuals and an incredible soundtrack. If that's what you're after, you can't go wrong with Katamari.

    Even if the last decade and a half came and went without bringing any substantial change to the original Katamari Damacy formula, that doesn’t hurt this remastered version – the rotating mix of jazzy tunes and catchy J-Pop choruses provide encouragement for the prince’s reckless consumption, and it remains now, as it was then, a purely good time.

    Katamari Demacy: Reroll alludes to an age of game development where larger publishers were still willing to make risky, experimental titles. It may not upend the industry, and it may be relatively short, but this a game so confident in its own style and unique mode of play that it is hard to ignore its considerable charm. It has aged well because aside from its many sequels, no one has attempted to make anything else like it. And sometimes the music swells in a way that makes you forget you are an uncaring cosmic being creating space garbage to cover for your dad getting wasted and accidentally destroying the night sky. Katamari Demacy is the type of singular strangeness that should be experienced at least once.
