    The charm and the fun offered by Katamari Amore are inversely proportional to our knowledge of the series. The ones who had the opportunity to try the game on other platforms or even in its previous iOS version, in fact, may be disappointed by the lack of real innovations. However the touch controls work good and you can get a good number of maps and modes by buying the first available pack.

    Katamari Amore remains loyal to the spirit of the brand, involving the player in a funny experience.

    A decent proposal that follows the path of the series, but although it is supposed to be free, actually it is a very limited version with a lot of DLC to unlock after paying for it. Nonetheless, the game is still a good one, although a bit far from what we've come to expect from Katamari.
