There is nothing like Katamari Damacy. Its controls take some getting used to, but once you do, its patented 30FPS gameplay gives you the whimsical experience of becoming your dad without realising it. If that sounds like pretentious ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to you, keep reading. I'm bringing this up for an important lifestyle strat. The Museum of Modern Art has a playable copy of this game on permanent display. MoMA (which, in a sick twist of New York wit, also contains Dada) also has free Friday evening admission for NY State residents. If you move there, you can skip the Steam fees entirely and play the game for free once a week between 5:30 and 8:30 PM. I guess it's a matter of which you'd rather pay money for. The choice is yours.
I used to love the Katamari-games as a child and I havent played them in years, so I was looking forward to this and let me tell you: It was NOT worth my excitement. Lets start out by the utter stupidity that is this games ability to recognize a controller. To enable my controller I had to get to the option menue,BUT you can only get to the options menue once u have beaten the tutorial. Ok, so I go through the tutorial with mouse and keyboard, no problem, rigth? Rigth? WRONG! It starts on the startup screen, where the game wants me to press "enter" to start, so I press enter, but that doesnt do anything, so I start randomly pressing buttons until TAB is what the game finally considers to be the enter-key for who knows which reason. Wish this was a unique case but that was the case for the entire tutorial with keyboard, none of the keys worked the way they were supposed to according to what was shown on the screen!! I had to mash my keyboard to just get through the tutorial. So, I finally manage to get to the point where I can enable the controller, now it should finally get good, rigth? No, not really. Like, most of the controlls are easy enough to figure out, but they just suck? Its such a needlessly convoluted controllscheme you cant customize in any way, other than enabling "simple" controlls, which makes it so u can controll your ball with just one stick, but it disables EVERYTHING ELSE. I am honestly not kidding when I say that this is the dumbest game I have ever seen when it comes to inputs, by a landslide! But is the actual game fun? It is katamari, rolling the ball around and sticking stuff to it is fun, yes but they managed to even screw that part up. Some things that are visibly smaller than your ball you still cant pick up, which wouldn't be an issue, if it wasnt for the fact that colliding with stuff u cant pick up can break stuff of your ball!!! Its some offensivly dumb gamedesign at work here. At some point, I got stuck between pots that ware roughly 60% the size of my ball, but I couldnt pick them up, but because the empty spaces between them were not big enough for my ball so I just got stuck there and saw occasional chunks break off my ball. I got this game as part of a humble bundle, but I honestly consider the few cents it cost me there to be too much, heck, free would be too high a price for this mess.
omfg let me set the game to fullscreen before finishing the tutorial cant even access the menu wtf
