If you’ve ever played Katamari Damacy—a kooky, action-platformer-puzzle-ball-simulator on acid that debuted back on the PlayStation 2 in 2004—you’ll no doubt be humming its infectious theme song in your head right now. You know the one. Nah, na na na na nah na naaah.
If you haven’t experienced Katamari Damacy, well... buckle up. You play as a prince, and after your dad, the King of All Cosmos, destroys the entirety of the known universe—the stars, planets, and, well, everything except Earth—it’s your job to clean up his mess. To do this, must roll a sticky magic ball called a katamari through various Earthly-environments. You start off picking up paper clips and thumb tacks, but as your ball grows bigger, you’ll start accumulating up couches, cows, cars, houses, airplanes, and, well, whatever you need to make a ball big enough to please your dad, who will turn all that accumulated junk back into a planet.
It’s a trip, and you’ll have a smile on your face (and a catchy tune in your ear) the entire time you play it.
