I'm so lucky this wasn't the last Katamari game I played out of the first 4 games, otherwise I probably would have loved it less realizing it's just a greatest hits compilation. Still my favorite of the series for that very reason and Katamari Drive.
Why the fuck could I have been born with the Metroidvania loving genes? What genius decided to make me like Balan Wonderworld yet view the Metroid games with an uncaring point of view?
A beautifully animated and told story about what it means to be a hero, pacifism, music, and one of the most uplifting and inspiring endings I ever saw. My perfect pick for anyone stuck in the "Asteroid for Year Now" phase.
Back when it was the most hyped chapter out there, I thought it was a fun 8/10. Thinking back now and seeing what frozen turkey secrets it had, it's a cool 9/10.
While it did lose some of the dark humor that made the original game memorable, I can understand why as it gave way to a deeper story with some of the best level design I ever saw.
