We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie Review - The Final Verdict

After the success of 2018's Katamari Damacy REROLL, Bandai Namco is looking to bring more of the classic franchise on to modern systems with We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie. Alongside featuring the same gameplay as the 2005 PS2 classic, the remaster also features additional levels that explore the backstory of the King of All Cosmos.
We Love Katamari puts you into the shoes of the young Prince as he is tasked by his father-the King of All Cosmos-to roll up objects into massive balls that can then be turned into celestial bodies to fill up the night sky.
Uniquely, the Young Prince is controlled by making use of both analogue sticks, rather than featuring third-person control schemes we see in modern titles. This unique control system, along with the absolute insanity of the game's writing, visuals and music, all come together to make We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie an excellent way to revisit a blast from the past.

Katamari is one of the best game series ever hands down. It changed my life.

[@fungusbungus4916]

Same here. Was blown away with damacy but we ❤ katamari was always my favorite. Literally just heard about the remaster

[@grrkittyrawr]

Same -- I even have a Katamari tattoo. I know I'm with My People(TM) when someone recognizes it in public lol

[@ObamaWuzHere]

ur supposed to say y / how. ai bots are wild

[@Matto-5000]

We talking about Steve. He changed my life

[@iPostiPodiEatiYuri]

how did it change your life?

[@DrewTrox]

This game is awesome just for the soundtrack. It's a nice game to chill to.

[@antoniox2241]

Great game to absolutely get blasted while playing

[@BooBanana]

You guys clearly had a bet going behind the scenes with how many times you can say the full title in this review. Awesome lol.

[@DrewTrox]

Good job saying the full title of this game so many times.

[@smugmode]

I thought it was funny 😂

[@Marina-bd4le]

I was going to say the same, found it annoying.

[@Johnnygrafx]

​@@Marina-bd4lethey wrote it in the review like that, so I had to say it 😅

[@Marina-bd4le]

@@Johnnygrafx Makes sense, still a good review otherwise

[@zzzartan]

It's called 'padding out the review' to make it seem like a longer in depth review. They spent more time explaining the original game than talking about weather it's a worthy update to the franchise or not

[@tobiasarevalo9929]

we love katamari is somehow better than the first one and thats it,the rest of the series is more of the same but at least takahashi gave us something beatiful before he left the series

[@jeremymartin7403]

I love this game so underrated imo

[@EastyyBlogspot]

I really wanted to get into this series but just one of the few games that give me very bad motion sickness

[@CARTMANBRAWH]

How come?

[@peterGchaves]

I remember playing the demo of one Katamari game on PS2 or PS3 and I absolutely hated the controls, extremely infuriating.
I'll wait until this now reaches 15/20€ and I'll give this series another shot.

[@EastyyBlogspot]

@@CARTMANBRAWH No idea I think it was a combination of the rotating ball and the change of scale when it go bigger and the world then got smaller

[@awkwardsilence4427]

Think of the controls as though you were controlling an RC car, and it’ll help. Once it clicks they’re amazing.
But if you _really_ don’t like the controls, both this game and the remake of the original also include a “simple” control scheme that I think uses only one control stick, and might be to your liking. Download the demo of the first and try it out to see.

[@tobyalonzo]

Thisss, I definitely loved it when I was in highschool but now that im older I dont think my eyes can handle it 🤷🏼‍♂🤷🏼‍♂

[@dannygreen5477]

So what's the difference between this and Katamari Reroll tho...?
Is it just DLC that will be for sale on stores or is it a new game as well?

[@StriderZessei]

This is a remaster of the sequel to the original. More levels, more variety of missions, new story. It's a vast improvement over the original.

[@BIG_BLACK_HERO]

My brother asked what are the controls?? I simply told him to treat it like a remote control rc car..he never had a problem after that

[@lovemadeinjapan]

3:18 Strange controls? It is just TANK controls. If you said just that, everybody would have understood. My main questions was not answered: what are the buying options? Which systems get a physical release?
For now it looks like a huge step back from Katamari Forever, which was already roughly a reissue with tons of extra's for the HD consoles. OK, it was just 1080p and PS3, but that is worth getting a PS3 for, and 1080p is enough for Katamari.

[@andrewklaver2070]

Yeah this is all I came here to find out, is it 60fps on PS5 at least?

[@UstinUrtis]

It's a shame they didn't add modern controls for this game 😢

[@BPudashen]

The weird controls ARE the game

[@stevend2377]

Developer straight up lied about having an eternal mode

[@TotalCowage]

No, they are in game; but only on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th make a star levels, and you have to do the size and speed versions of each level first.

[@ledbowman]

this is silly
