We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie Reviews
This far outstrips the first game in content amount, and the approach to telling a new story that can encapsulate the wider scope is genius. We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie is a fantastic portable game and fits Switch like a glove. This is a hearty recommendation to all gamers and any lovers of the King's tight purple tights.
We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie is just as magical as the games that came before it. The core mechanics remain just as charming and fun as before, while the more varied environments and requests give the concept some more depth. The Royal Reverie part may be disappointing, but it doesn't take away from the main experience that still does a great job of making everyone smile. Just like that first game, it's a classic and deserves a place in everyone's gaming library.
Sometimes, there are titles that deserve a second chance, perhaps to have new followers or perhaps to remind us of old glories that deserve to be revived once again. This time we refer to We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie, a very fun game, with a very addictive game mode that will keep us with the command, looking to replay and prove that we are very good and skilled.

We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royale Reverie does an ample job of being a remaster with modernizations like saving anywhere and a list to get to requests easier. Some of its minor drawbacks are what I feel to be essential to the game and somewhat puts it in a weird place of being ALMOST perfect. I’d recommend this game still even for the minute gripes I had, especially for the price of $29.99 USD for the base game and only $39.99 for the series music DLC and additional items.
"Sometimes the simple mechanics are the best."

We Love Katamari REROLL + Reverie is a remastered version of the original game that offers enhanced visuals, improved performance, and new content, providing a unique and enjoyable gaming experience with its innovative control scheme and engaging challenges. However, the game's replay value is somewhat hampered by the repetitive humor and chatter from the King of All Cosmos, and the new content, while enriching the backstory, introduces a significant difficulty spike that may frustrate players who haven't mastered the controls.
We Love Katamari Reroll+ Royal Reverie is challenging and crazy in the best possible way.
Thanks to this much-needed remaster, a new generation can finally experience the joy, and hope, of We Love Katamari.
We Love Katamari is a better game than Katamari Damacy. It has more level variety, and had multiplayer options before it was remastered. The core gameplay of both games is exactly the same. We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie is a fantastic remaster of that already great game. The HD visuals and gameplay tweaks look and feel perfect. The only fault is in the bonus content. It’s always lovely to have more features, but none of them are so compelling that they extend the time you’ll spend with the game. We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie won’t be for everyone, but it will also be a “must play experience” for many.
We Love Katamari is simply a better and more complex version of the concept introduced by the first game in the series. If you finished Katamari Damacy and wished to play more of it, don't hesitate here.

I may seem a little overzealous when I say this, but We Love Katamari is one of the best games ever made. Sure, the concept isn’t for everyone, but it does everything this concept has going for it perfectly. I think the series lost focus after this title which isn’t a surprise because this is the last Katamari game that the creator Keita Takahashi worked on. The other Katamari games are great do not get me wrong and I hope those get remastered too, but future games lacked the same innovation We Love Katamari had for the concept of rolling up junk. This is the top of the clump spirit folks, and I would suggest not missing it.
undefined.If you've ever played We Love Katamari or any version of the original Katamari Damacy, then you already know what you'll be getting into with We Love Katamari Reroll. It's an incremental improvement at best-both as a sequel to Katamari Damacy and as a port of We Love Katamari-but if that's all you're looking for then the end result will certainly be satisfying. Katamari is already such an unusual game that maybe its sequel doesn't need to be particularly groundbreaking, and since it's so rare for any Katamari game to be released at all it's absolutely a good place to start for anyone that hasn't gotten to experience the series' weird and wonderful vibes.
We Love Katamari Reroll+ Royal Reverie is a competent remastered of an all-time classic that is as fun to play today as it was almost twenty years ago.

We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie makes Switch owners happy again, which, unlike other platforms, was lacking in other titles in the series. Its changes don't alter the practical gameplay precisely because there wasn't any need for it, and the truly new content, even if weak in quantity, compensates for the good level of challenge.

We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie remasters another entry in this series to good effect and should please prior fans and newcomers alike.
Bringing back We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie is a great decision, as well as a very safe one. If the original version was already excellent, the visual and practical improvements are welcome, but there was certainly room to take more effective advantage of the content expansion. In addition, both this port and its predecessor show that it is high time for the royal family of Todo o Cosmos to return in an new title, taking advantage of the full potential of the current generation of consoles.

In rounding off Katamari Damacy's rougher edges and upping the ante with more diverse mechanics and challenges, even goofier writing, and a terrific soundtrack, We Love Katamari cemented itself as a high watermark for video game sequels in 2005. Even without the remaster treatment, the game's maintained its luster remarkably well but Reroll + Royal Reverie is (an admittedly thin layer of) icing on an already decadent cake. With a number of solid quality-of-life updates and sharper, brighter visuals, this is undeniably the best way to experience the 2005 classic.
We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie is exactly what its name will lead you to believe as it's an excellent classic silly fun time that looks better than ever and has a pinch of extra content that's sure to delight long-time fans so play it; okay, Mr. Sunshine?
We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie takes the best bits of the series and bundles it all together in a wonderful little package. The creativity in environments is delightful, the updated visuals look stunning and the trademark humor and style is clear for all to see. While I definitely struggled with the controls and feel movement is really dated and clunky, this is just such a wonderful little gem that everyone should try at least once.
It’s the best version of this game to date, and it gives me hope that seeing these being brought to modern platforms may be the spark that gives us brand-new titles. But for now, I’m fine with getting a well-crafted remake of a damned fine game with the kind of quality-of-life updates and additional content that help the low barrier of entry go down even easier than a straight port ever could. Go roll up some stars, man. You’ll enjoy it.
