Once Upon A Katamari is easily the best Katamari game. Not that I love everything about it, but it does what no other entry could, which is make me actually want to play all the levels more than once. That's kinda huge.

Tales of Berseria is my favorite Tales. All of the performative hand-wringing over Velvet's outfit is nonsense. Without spoiling it, she has reasons for not giving a shit about what she wears. If you still don't like it, it's a "you" problem.

The Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection has some issues, but what if the biggest issue is that the classic games always kinda sucked, akshually, and the rose tinted nostalgia is wearing off? That's my take, anyway.
