2/5 ★ – EmmyOK's review of Katamari Damacy REROLL.

I thought I'd like this a lot more than I did. Amazing presentation, incredible music, and really funny writing carried kind of frustrating gameplay. The basic levels were fine and chill to clear but pretty easy to beat first try. The challenges like getting good scores on the Constellation levels was horrendous to do. All the challenges in the game are centred on requiring super precise rolling but the entire game and controls are not designed for any kind of precision. So by the halfway point I was satisfied with just beating a levels' with minimum requirement instead of trying to get a score to impress the King of all Cosmos. Outside of the controls making the challenges super frustrating, it was surprisingly janky despite being a single primary concept. Lots of weird items that wouldn't pick even while you picked up larger objects, or just ledges being weirdly impassable when they shouldn't be. I think if the minimum requirements for beating levels were harder and the challenges weren't based around precision controlling I'd have liked it much more. As it was I beat most levels first try and after trying pretty hard to get all the crabs and swans for the first two constellations and finding it totally miserable I didn't bother retrying constellations no matter how few stars I got.
