I started playing this after I suffered my panic attack that I mentioned in my WWE review, and honestly between this and watching AEW I've been able to mostly recuperate.

Katamari Damacy is such an interesting game because I don't think there will be another that catches the unique calming, weird, goofy vibe that is brought out by both the aesthetics and the gameplay itself.

You roll the Katamari, you grow the Katamari, you hear the screams of the damned within the Katamari, and you make the Katamari into a great big star. It's simple yet difficult to do, which makes it very satisfying to me in particular.

Honestly this game would be the perfect destress if it wasn't for the alarm that plays when you have 30 seconds left in a level. The music is all peppy, covering a variety of different genres, and with the exception of one track, they were all extremely calming.

I love the dialogue from the King of the Cosmos, a very entertaining character, and his and the Prince's designs are absolutely iconic.

Honestly you're missing out if you haven't experienced this game yet, it's a genuine beauty of a game and proves that video games can be so weird and different and yet still be a joy to play.

I don't think I can fairly criticize this game though as it has gotten me through a tough time in my life. Regardless, you should try it anyway.
