I have heard this game from Youtube and found the rolling a star very fun looking. So I found it was on steam purchased it, after playing game for a while and finishing the main series, here are my experience:

What I liked about it:
- The game is in general easy to learn and understand after knowing the controls
- It feels so satisfying to role down bigger objects as your katamari grows over-time and some entities (animal, human etc.) will try to run away from you!
- Silly remarks that you can get from the King while playing the levels and at the end
- Pretty fun cosmetics you can earn for you alien character
- It records all items/entities you collected that you can look back in your collection and what specific size you need in order to roll it over
- Cruelly underrated soundtracks
- Whenever you close the game after saving on menu, the alien waves at you which I find cute :-)
- The pay for this game in exchange for the content/time you consume is a great plus!


What I dislike about it:
- How I was unable to change the settings (control/graphics etc.) of the game from the start until I finished the tutorial stage
- Some animals/humans etc. can attack you to push you far away, depending on the level this can be very frustrating especially if you fall from heights that you climbed earlier
- In star levels where you can earn eternal mode, if you meet the requirement, at the last minute before level ending... the screen brightens to the point it becomes hard to see where you go losing potential to enlarge your star
- Sometimes you get stuck in tight gaps when you try to roll over, which sometimes result of items you rolled in to be thrown away from your katamari, which can be too annoying especially if you try to complete the entire collection
- Camera angles are not always consistent when you are in tight space against walls, making hard to see where you want to roll your katamari
- I freaking hate the Taurus and Ursa Major levels where the game ends the moment you roll over one of their family, causing you to re-do the level over and over... going for all collections fuels this frustation more :(
- When you screw something up during the level, you've to exit it and then take few steps from menu + king's dialogue to restart it. Wish they add a retry option where you can immediately restart the level :-(

In overall, outside some frustating elements, I highly recommend the game for being weird AND fun! :B
