The HD remaster is $30, but the soundtrack is priceless
Katamari Damacyis one of those games I don’t mind buying over and over again. In other words, it’s a classic. If you’re of a similar mind – or you’re simply in the mood to play somethingverydifferent – then consider nabbingKatamari Damacy Rerollnow that it’s out onPlayStation 4andXbox Onefor $30.
If you already boughtRerollon Steam or Nintendo Switch, watch this trailer anyway – it’s a fun surprise.
The quirky action-rolling collectathon is a one-of-a-kind gem, it absolutely holds up in 2020 in gameplay and tone, and while I’m not convincedRerollis bringing publisher Bandai Namco any closer to greenlighting a sequel (or heck, even more remasters), its ongoing success certainly couldn’t hurt.
At the very least, a touched-up version of the originalKatamari Damacyis playable on all of the current platforms,and that’s a beautiful thing; I wish the same could be said of more games that defined the early 2000s. I’m also pleased to see thatcreator Keita Takahashi iscooking up something at his studio.
