If you’re looking for just the “remaster” part of this, We Love Katamari Reroll is probably the definitive way to play the game now. There are a few areas where I feel the original PS2 version edges it out, like the audio could absolutely use some improvement. But the simultaneous authenticity of the port paired with the QOL improvements make this version the winner. I wish it wasn’t $30, but if it’s anything like the first Reroll it’ll get pretty frequent price cuts. Royal Reverie, for the ten minutes you actually spend in it, is a collage of some of the worst levels in the entire Katamari series. It’s such a minor part of the game that I don’t think it positively or negatively affects the entire package, it’s just a thing that’s there if you want to play it. But as someone who hoped this would give us a taste of a New Next-Gen Katamari Title, I’m pretty disappointed. Oh and also, the classic graphics mode is a nice addition. They should’ve made the music DLC part of the base game. Buy On Sale. Katamari Forever.
