How much of an introduction do you really need to Katamari Damacy? Despite its utterly bizarre premise, the actual core of the game — rolling up everything you see into a big ball — couldn’t be simpler, and perhaps because of that, it’s become one of the strangest games ever to reach such massive mainstream success. Now, PlayStation Plus is adding another way to play this offbeat classic with your subscription.
We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie is a remaster of the second game in the Katamari series, with the addition of a new mode that sees you playing as the King of All Cosmos, rather than the usual star of the series, the Prince. Okay, maybe a little introduction is in order after all. Like the rest of the series, We Love Katamari Reroll begins with the King of All Cosmos ordering his son to create new stars out of random junk he finds on Earth. That’s just how it works, don’t ask how. At first, you can only roll up the tiniest objects you find, but as you do, the ball gets bigger and thus able to collect even larger objects, like a snowball rolled along the ground gradually collects more and more snow.
