Talking silverware. Joyful explosions. A character named Poop. What more could you want from a game? The latest whimsical, charming, all-ages puzzler from the creator of the inventive Katamari series was first revealed in 2014, and it should finally arrive this year for PC, PS4, and likely additional platforms. (It was once a PS4 exclusive, but no longer.)

Instead of the Prince, you play as the Mayor—a green cube who hides bombs under his hat—and you must befriend anthropomorphic items ranging from rocks to toilets to broccoli by figuring out what each one wants. Every one of the 100+ characters becomes playable, and you'll probably want to play with a friend (through local co-op).
