They took one of my favorite franchises and made it turn based... They did a good job, but really made the game not as enjoyable as the early games for me personally. The alternative I've never heard of and am not sure if it's a early april fools joke! Lol.

I'll choose based on the best memes!
 
I like Katamari Damacy, but it's sort of a gimmick/one trick pony kind of game. Fun for a while, but kind of gets old. I've never even played Baldur's Gate 3, but I'm tempted to vote for it.

What a weird matchup.

Katamari is still very good. Wonderful music. Unique gameplay. Charming sense of humor. A rare example of a timeless game.

I'm sure BG3 is good but tbh if I'm gonna play this type of game I prefer heavier CRPGs like Pathfinder WotR, Pillars of Eternity 2, and W40K Rogue Trader.

Baldurs Gate 3 has the best isometric turn based RPG mechanics ever put to silicon. It should be the metric by any that come after and Bethesda is beyond dumb if they don't follow suit and give us a Fallout game in kind.

Katamari Damacy is that unique, Japanese game which is easy to get into and hard to fully complete with all the loveable quirks that stand out as a Japanese game.

I vote for rolling the world up with a funky beat. No forced gay options because you chose a nice response to one of your over-horned out gay members in your raiding party that Baldurs Gate 3 offers.

Japan stays winning here.

I went into BG3 with ultra high expectations after all the high praise and review scores. I seriously swear I recalled everyone on here jumping up and down about how great this game is. What it does well, it does extremely well. Where I feel like it comes up short is in areas it never even pretended to do like good exploration. In the end, I grew kind of tired of its cramped world. There's also an element of fatigue from feeling like every poor dice roll is a missed opportunity or branch in the storyline. I find it almost impossible to play without feeling fomo at every fork in the road.

By contrast, Katamari Damacy is the chill puzzle solving game that begs you to roll the entire game up. It gets crazy, and I never feel stressed out by the game. It stands alone in its niche genre.

Think Katamari Damacy has my favourite soundtrack in all of video games. As for the actual game? It's absolutely unique, charming, funny has a great style and a fantastic amount of replayability with unlockable cousins and chasing high scores.

A ridiculous package, absolutely off the wall.

BG3 is the goat RPG though, this is really tough.

Haven't played BG3 yet. I'm sure I will one day, but not today.

I have played Katamari. It was fun. A bit weird.
 
One of the reasons I'm okay with BG3 losing was because they refused (at least initially) to release their game on disc. I ended up buying the physical game, but it's a year later lol.
 
The shine from Baldurs Gate 3 fell off fast. Similar to Dragons Dogma 2 and Spiderman. Soon forgotten RIP in peace.

I've been wanting BG3 for a while, but that's my worry with it. It's probably not really my type of game, but I do like a deep RPG that I get absorbed into. I just think I may reach that same point that many other people have mentioned where I've lost interest before it has ended.

Dragon's Dogma 2 was great fun for me, but when the credits started rolling and I didn't even know I was beating the game, that definitely took a lot of the shine off it too...
