To a T

I've been thinking about this idea a lot as I finished To A T (it clocks in at about 4-5 hours). It is full of moments when the controls change, and you must move them in some new way to brush your teeth, eat food, or whirl like a ballerina. The immediacy of game controls is something that necessarily gets lost the further this game travels into it's almost entirely non-playable final episode. B...

To a T may seem like a totally ridiculous video game in concept, but it has a lot of heart, fun exploration, and some seriously catchy songs.

Main characters in video games come in all sorts of different forms. They range from big burly warriors to captivating underdogs. The lead in To a T falls in the latter category, but this specific one serves as someone whose unique qualities make him an inspiration. Annapurna Interactive and Uvula (the new studio founded by Keita Takahashi, the maker of Katamari Damacy) tell the story of someone w...

Though it struggles to pace itself evenly due to a short run-time, To a T is a remarkable, life-affirming wonder. Perfectly un-perfect and proud of it, this is a flag waved high for oddballs – and likely to be one of 2025's most memorable games.

It is borderline impossible to play to a T without a beaming smile plastered across your face the entire time. This is one of the most joyous, feel-good games on PS5, and all it takes is a teenager stuck in a permanent T-pose.

Keita Takahashi and friends deliver a story about loving yourself no matter what you're capable of in To a T.

Imagine you looked like a T: what a crazy life you’d see! Your arms don’t bend, kids laugh at you, you’ll need some help to use the loo. But though your T-bod can be trying, twirl a bit and you’ll be flying – twisting, soaring through the air, wind billowing through your hair. When you float back to the ground, all the town will gather ’round and celebrate your T-shaped flight, and maybe things wi...

Players in To a T will live the life of a teenager while they navigate their town in perpetual T-pose. The game boasts wholesome themes of diversity and body positivity wrapped in a layer of brightly coloured weirdness, but its gameplay and story may not be engaging enough to keep both children and adults spinning along. Those with an interest in cooking and singing giraffes, having a dog sidekick...

A weird and funny story with a lot of surprises, but control and camera issues dampen the fun.

To a T, tries hard to be like a Saturday morning cartoon. Yet just like trying to recapture that same experience nowadays, it overall feels like it’s missing something. Granted, this issue may mostly apply to older players. Maybe, the ones who will find the most fun are those who play this with young kids.

A new game from Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi, Developer uvula and publisher Annapurna Interactive, to a T takes players on a unique, narrative adventure that tackles a peculiar concept. What if we were stuck in a ‘T’ pose…permanently? How would we navigate life? How would we eat, brush our teeth or wipe our own arse? If, like me, these questions have kept you up at night, then read on f...

I’ve been a huge fan of Keita Takahashi’s work for years. As a kid, Katamari Damacy was a weird and wacky sandbox that was so much fun to pick up and play. Returning to it years later helped me appreciate not only the touching story of togetherness that the game culminates in, but the effort that was put into making the simple act of play so perfectly satisfying.The blending of lofty themes with i...
