    Another good Paper Mario game but some of the changes made are not for the best. Game gets off to a VERY slooooow start.

    This was a dissapointing title. I tried to like it as every other paper mario I've played was so wonderful. This one missed the mark. The new battle system leaves much to be desired. Its repetitive, predictable and the story is flat, thin and lifeless...much like paper its self.

    paper Mario: the Oragami King wants to be many different things. But doesnt stick to any idea whatsoever. Only buy this for a child who doesnt understand role playing games qnd doesnt mind awful puzzle combat that will drive you insane over how unnecessary the ring system is in game.

    It's better than the last two "paper mario" games but it's still not a real paper mario game.

    If you’re over the age of 12 and expecting a similar experience to the original N64 paper Mario or Mario odyssey you’re going to hate this game. Very mundane and childish and I’m a huge Mario game fan

    The role playing part is kind of entertaining but it is not like a typical Mario game. The challenges are super boring and that's like the only way you get to interact the bad guys. I will definitely be reselling this game asap

    If you're a fan of the first two Paper Mario games, you will not enjoy this game at all. Newer fans to the series may enjoy it. No level up system and monotonous combat.

    This game forces you to use a puzzle ring at the beginning of every single battle, and has the most annoying boss fights. I enjoyed the Wii, Wii U, and DS Mario RPG titles much, much, more!

    My experience was terrible. I traded My old i phones in for new ones. I was told I didn’t owe any money on my old phones. Which was not true. Now I have two payments. On phones. This has been very unsettling. And I am not happy with your company. You should hire people with the rite credentials. Who know how to do there job.

    Great game

    Really fun game. I've played every single Paper Mario game and this is one of the best ones. The battle system takes a little bit getting used to, but once you are familiar with it, it's a lot of fun. The story is hilarious and has a lot of unexpected moments. Highly recommend if you like the Paper Mario series or jrpgs in general.

    Awful game. I was very excited when I heard there was a new Paper Mario game coming out. Unfortunately they ruined the game with their combat spin wheel puzzle mechanic. If you can get past that it is a ok game. I guess they tried.
