i'm not exaggerating when i say this but this game might genuinely have revived my love for video games
i had never heard about this game in my life, i merely googled "good ps2 games" and found this in a video and i saw about 3 seconds and was like "what is this about even" and i didn't look it further, i just downloaded it and booted i up
at first i was lost. everything was confusing. but once i started playing it i got really into it
the controls are a bit ... hm. i get what it's going for, it just never sank in for me, it did enough for me to play it but it just didn't ever feel good to me
other than that? absolutely lovely game, something very calming about kidnapping children and hearing people scream as i roll them up
i think i finished it? at least i filled up the constellations and finsihed all the stars and moon. i kinda sucked at doing all of it but it IS Done.
it was surprisingly short, it took me like 5 hours to finish this and i'm glad it did, it did feel like the game had showed me everything and now i can just boot it up again to replay parts if i feel like it. there's no stress or pressure to keep playing, since i have this annoying urge to play a game quickly so i can finish it. with no real sidecontent or distractions, i just have a very linear path to follow and simple goals to meet. i like that.
the visuals are really pretty (i play without any upscaling with a soft crt filter) and the music is always so good, from the level songs to the catchy theme to the weird off putting cutscenes and character designs, love the aesthetic of this game
the trailer for the rogue prince of persia came out and i watched it yesterday, leading me to me watching the entire triple i showcase, and i was surprised at how much of it was attractive to me. i usually do not enjoy indie games, i'm a realism over fun kinda person, but this really did change my mind on games for the better i think, i can appreciate so much more about different types of games now.
thank you katamari damacy, i'll get around to playing more of this series in the future at some point but for now i think i'l go replay a few levels and then venture into more games i couldn't otherwise have thought of playing
