Wasbir from NoobFeed writes: Once Upon A Katamari's general strengths make up for small problems like sometimes wonky camera angles or short sections that repeat themselves. The music is lovely, the graphics are bright and fun, and the gameplay is easy enough for newcomers to understand but complex enough to test longtime fans. Even after many years, One Thousand and One Nights illustrates that the series can still be fun, interesting, and inspire innovation.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "When you think about it, the essence of every game is problem-solving in one way or another. For the puzzle genre, that's expressed through a series of brainteasers. A challenge is placed at your feet and you're pushed to understand it with limited contextual clues. From industry veterans to relative newbies, familiar franchises to brand-new IPs, 2025 saw a deluge of impressive puzzlers. Among our finalists are not merely well-designed templates based on familiar staples; a couple move the genre forward in interesting directions."
