Katamari is such a weird and creative franchise, one of the most fun and unique puzzle games I have ever played, if not one of the most fun and unique games I've ever played. Katamari Forever serves incredibly well as what is currently the final game of the franchise.

Despite being just a compilation of Katamari's best levels, it remains fun, fresh and unique. Perhaps this is because I didn't play Beautiful Katamari, but I have played Damacy and We Love Katamari. Many of those levels return in this game and instead of feeling dry, uncreative, and lazy rehashes of already existing levels, I found it fun and enjoyable to revisit those levels. This game has an identity of its own even if it recycles those levels. It has an incredible art style, incredible soundtrack and probably some of the most fun mechanics and physics in the series.

Even though I adore the game and don't really mind the fact it recycles levels from the other games in the franchise, I wish this game had more original levels. There is a lot of potential to be had here to create many new and unique challenges, especially with the addition of jumping into the game. I am not sure why they didn't just make this game a whole new title instead of a compilation, but either way its a good time.

Katamari Forever is absolutely worth your time as a fan of the Katamari series, so just kick back, boot it up, and have some fun that most other games can't seem to offer.
