You roll a ball, it swallows everything, the world turns into joyful colorful chaos. Katamari Forever is the absurd raised into a game.

And first observation: when the community picks on gut feeling, without thinking, the game only edges ahead of a fifth of the titles. That's low. But look at the detail and the tension appears. Controller feel climbs ahead of 91% of games, connection, soundtrack and art style hold in the good upper third. And yet, right beside it, fun collapses at the very bottom, barely ahead of 5% of games, and desert island stays very low. There's the paradox: a pad that delights, but an overall buy-in that stalls. All of this on very few votes, to confirm.

In the family of wild-concept games, Katamari owns its strangeness more than most, even at the cost of plainly dividing people.

So, for who? For you if you love a unique controller feel and a world that resembles nothing else. Much less if you want the game you launch to have a blast without thinking and just can't put down.
