    Paper Mario is so entertaining! Great fun as a family game night. Everyone gets into it. Makes you think in a different perspective.

    I thought I would like this more, I am an adult and I like to just mosie around and not have to try too hard in games. This one hasn't really captured my attention like the other Mario games.

    Game has it's funny moments, but it drags on. Puzzle battle system can be frustrating at times almost makes me feel like I want to avoid getting into battles.

    Not terribly happy with Paper Mario for my child - he's 5. There is a ton of reading involved, which I'm ok with, just know that you will have to really sit with your child to make sure they understand each quest they are on. Also, you encounter Wave Battles every 5 minutes - they aren't typical "battles". Instead of classic fighting you are re-arranging concentric circles of enemies in specific patterns. I absolutely do not like Wave Battles - I'm so tired of them and they just aren't fun once they start to get complicated in later levels. My son cannot do them so I have to step in and play.

    Loved playing this hot seat with my wife and enjoying solving the puzzles and worlds that it provides. A little short on the game length and no real replay ability but fun.

    I would have giving this game five stars if Nintendo wouldn’t have added the annoying ring battles. They are extremely annoying especially since you can’t step on enemies like Mario has been doing for 35 years.

    I love this game. Grew up playing Paper Mario 64 and this took me back to before crippling depression and adult responsibilities took over my life.

    Perfect timing to have something light and comedic to partner my play time with Ghost of Tsushima. Filled with jokes and well animated set pieces.
