PlayStation UniverseJoe RichardsOct 20259.5/10Once Upon A Katamari feels like a confident step back into the series after having a crack at some remasters, and feels like a game that perfectly follows up on what those remasters set out to do. Everything that we all love about Katamari is still here and absolutely kicking. Small reservations with the progression system do precious little to take away from what is - ultimately - one of the most pure and appealing game concepts ever put to players. An absolutely fantastic return to form for a legacy franchise.

IGNCharlie WacholzOct 20259/10Once Upon A Katamari's appropriately ostentatious, energetic return is the best the series has been since the PlayStation 2 era.

DualShockersNicole CelicOct 20259/10Bandai Namco really hit a home run with this latest entry in the Katamari Damacy series. It's calming, cozy, and whimsical—in other words, everything you expect from a Katamari game. The time travel theme works well, and the ability to customize your appearance based on your gameplay performance really sells it.

Metro GameCentralOct 20256/10Yet another entirely unnecessary sequel to a classic game that should never have got any follow-ups at all. But if you want even more of the same old thing there are few small sparks of imagination here and there.

ForbesOllie BarderNov 20257/10Overall, Once Upon A Katamari is a big expansion over its earlier iterations, but with the added complexity and stricter time limits, some of the charm and fun of just exploring has been lost. This is still a solid entry in the series, but certainly not one of my favorites.
