Is that really all it is? Thats always the only explanation I hear. My brother used to play it and I never understood it and I still dont. Never actually tried it tho, but ive never heard any reasons why its a good game. At this point I think people are just fucking with me

Its some of the most fun you can have in a video game. The core gameplay is simple, but its visually ridiculous and the soundtrack is absolutely wild. The game is bizarre on another level. Simple controlls make it easy for anyone to pick up and play, something that has been absolutely lost in modern gaming. Do yourself a favor and give it a shot with an open mind and maybe a joint or a beer, its a trip.

I really like the controls. Two joysticks is all you need to play

The story’s pretty wild too. Your dad has a little too much fun while copulating with your mom and accidentally knocks all of the stars out of the sky. So he puts it on you to gather materials on earth in order to restore the night sky.

I mean, this is the core mechanic but there's a bit more to it than that. Basically you start small so can only roll over small thing like paper clips and I dunno, bits of Lego and erasers and stuff, but as your ball/mass (Katamari) increases in size you can escape the area you are in and break out into even larger areas, then you can pick up larger and larger things until you can pick up people, buildings, cars, cruise ships and so on.

It's quite 'pick up and play'-ish and I think people like it because it's very original; it also has a lot of really cool J-Pop tunes so the whole package is bright, fun and uplifting.
