Admittedly, I only played Katamari for the first time this year, whilst in a hyperfixation dive I found out the creator of the series is releasing a new game! The fact that it’s in collaboration with AbleGamers too. This is 100% going to make me cry tears of happiness. Really keen to get into this weird and wacky world!
