I sat down to make this episode thinking I’d end up more positive, but as each day passed over the last week I really struggled to convey how I felt while still recommending the game. After all, if I wasn’t going to recommend it then why do this at all when the point is to recommend games? Where I settled on was that a fair bit of the issue was merely in managing my own expectations. This was actually one of the games I was most anticipating this year. The first two ‘Katamari Damacy’ games under Keita Takahashi speak for themselves as gaming classics, and ‘Noby Noby Boy’ and ‘WATTAM” both are so bizarre that I can’t help but be fascinated by them. There’s just nothing else out there like them. I knew to expect something a bit more “traditional” here but even with that in mind I just feel it doesn’t go as far as I’d hoped.\nShow notes:\nRead the text version of this here: https://mykonosfan.beehiiv.com/p/to-a-t-review-charmed-and-whelmed-off-the-radar\n\nAvailable on: Steam, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC (what this was played on), PlayStation 5\nPrice: $19.99 USD, Demo available\nRelease date: May 28th, 2025\nDeveloper, publisher: uvula, Annapurna Interactive\nPrior works: Crankin’s Time Travel AdventureLinks mentioned: Playdate\nFind me elsewhere:\nMy BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/mykonosfan.com\nMy Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MykonosFan\nMy Steam Curator page: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43237486/\nMy other podcast, with other creators involved: https://crubcast.transistor.fm/\nMy YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MykonosFan\nIf you have a game you'd like me to look at, e-mail: offtheradar@mykonosfan.com\n‘Off The Radar’ is available on Beehiivin text and audio form, on your podcast service of choice, and will be delivered early to my Patreon supporters when no embargoes are in the way.
