    Great game, I still didn’t master the boss fights just as yet but I’m getting there and the game is so hilarious you must give it a try for yourself.

    I've played all of the Paper Mario games and this one is equally fun! The combat system is a little difficult to grasp in the beginning, but the game is so much fun. If you are a fan of Super Mario, then you will love this game. There are some great musical numbers!

    This paper mario for the most part is simple as far as game play. They do a nice job of changing up boss fights to give you variation but nothing too difficult. The colors, music, story and character development are fantastic. There are jokes and easter eggs eve.rywhere. I played this game to chill from the ultra competitive games I play. It was relaxing and rewarding at the same time. I dont replay many campaigns anymore but I would for this. Loved it

    It's an entertaining well written vibrant experience. It's not the paper mario you remember from 1000 year door. Not exactly an rpg. But it's a fun game worth trying. When I pick my switch up I find myself playing this for short bursts alot.

    I love the Paper Mario series, and this game is innovative, silly and a lot of fun, combining platformer and RPG elements as each game does plus adding puzzles into each battle sequence.

    The story is great and the play is fun but the chat scenes are endless and the fighting system with the ring is monotonous. It's still worth playing though.

    If you've played any of these games in the past you'll enjoy this one as well. The game does have an annoying sidekick / buddy / guide to tell you how to do literally ever single thing. It's like a perpetually interrupting, forced, interactive tutorial that follows you through the entire game. Once you get your brain past that (since Nintendo is just trying to make the game accessible to younger players) it's actually a pretty fun game.

    My switch says i played this game for 35 hours or more. I 100% the game. Some points in the game dragged a little too long, but overall the game was fun. The story is nothing crazy, but gets the job done.

    There’s been a lot of controversy around Paper Mario for a few entries now. This game is no different, but I have to say, I’m enjoying the heck out of it. The music, writing, and graphics are top-notch. The battle system, while it does take a bit to get used to, is a lot of fun. Don’t go in expecting the first 2 Paper Mario games and more of an action adventure and you’ll be set. Definitely don’t sleep in this one!

    This game is by far the most interesting in the series. A lot of the puzzles are very creative and the worlds are long but entertaining. The Overworked music and especially The boss and battle music is extremely good and appropriate, the bosses and battles themselves require thought unlike the previous titles. Overall, I’d probably give this a 4.5 out of 5 stars, 3.5 at some points of the game, especially chapter 4 where it’s mostly just you going across oceans and exploring a bit but overall it’s a very creative, funny game.

    This game is colorful, bright and cheery. It has a good story for kids, but if they are too young to read then they won't get a lot of out of it unless you read it to them. For older players who remember the older Paper Mario games, it isn't like those, especially regards to the dropping of RPG elements such as leveling up and replacing it with a new battle mechanic. Overall it is still good, but if buying for younger kids just know their is a lot of text to read through in order to get the most out of the game.

    The first couple of minutes you start the game feel too easy I understand games like this are meant for children but they should put a hard mode to make it less annoying other than that if you like RPG games you'll enjoy it.
