After a year of Epic Games Store exclusivity, Wattam will finally be making its way over to Steam in the coming weeks. From the mind of Keita Takahashi, the creative force behind the original two Katamari Damacy games, Wattam is less a video game and more an experience. You can play as a piece of poo and join hands with other strangely shaped creatures as you sing happy songs and frolic in the fields. It kind of defies explanation.
If you’re eager to try this on your digital distribution platform of choice, Wattam will be hitting Steam on December 18, 2020. No price is listed on the Steam store page, but Wattam goes for $19.99 on Epic. It may even end up discounted during Steam’s Winter 2020 sale, so you could wait another week or so to nab it cheap.
As for whether or not you should even consider Wattam, TheGamer’s own Jamie Latour wasn’t exactly enthused with the title. “Wattam sadly doesn’t offer up much in terms of compelling gameplay, and it feels a little half-baked at times in terms of progression,” he wrote in his review last year.
That might seem harsh, but you do have to keep one thing in mind. Not all video games worth experiencing are necessarily “good.” In fact, Takahashi’s follow up to Katamari Damacy, Noby Noby Boy, is often overlooked because of how different it is from a traditional game. If you can throw away your preconceived notions of what gameplay should be, you may just find something special lurking within Wattam.
