This is exactly how I imagined the last star in Katamari Damacy ending up, especially because the longest item you can pick up is a bridge so you can see it running through the center of the sphere.

The original release of metro 2033 pushed it pretty hard but they really trivialized the difficulty curve and the economy in the redux and the sequels. Such an interesting choice between using your best ammo to increase your chances of survival or trying to save it to upgrade your gear
