    This is an enjoyable game with some fun puzzles. It gets tedious at times but the story is fun and the dialogue is entertaining. Not the best in the Paper Mario series, but a good game.

    Bought for my girlfriend, she likes the game but she gets annoyed at the battles because they’re repetitive and they take forever to do sometimes. But she likes the game nonetheless

    Overall, it is a good Mario game so far. As others have mentioned, the story line, colors, and levels are awesome. However, the ring battle system gets old after a while. If experience points were awarded, I think it would be a benefit.

    The game looks great, sounds great, and has absolutely hilarious writing, but is sorely lacking in the battle system. Battles are shallow and seemingly pointless. But if you’re looking for something to make you laugh, this is perfect.

    Wonderful humor as always with a Paper Mario game. It’s a long game with fun puzzles and a decent story. My only complaint is the battles. They are not that fun. I almost dread them. Not enough to stop me from loving the game though.

    Great game but the battle mechanics are terrible - nothing like what the previous Paper Mario games used. Definitely not an improvement. I wish it were longer. Otherwise it is a great game

    If you're looking for a fun and light hearted adventure feeled with humorous dialogue. Then do yourself a favor and pick up the latest Paper Mario. It's so good.

    I really enjoyed the art style and humor of this game. This isn't Paper Mario from the N64 or Gamecube, but it is still a fun time!

    Has to be one of my favorite Paper Marios to date. Could be better and it's no Thousand year door but one of the best in recent memory.

    My first game in the series was Sticker Star. This game is miles better than that one. The combat, temporary allies, dialogue, and story are phenomenal.

    I was never interested in the paper mario franchise, but the trailers made me want to get it and try it once and for all. What a delightful game, full of charm, fun characters, gameplay that doesnt bore, missions that are fun, im fully invested in the world of paper mario. The battles turn interesting, and the clues to get things are obviously fun. Some are really hard and it makes you look outside the box. A win for nintendo. Highly recommended.

    Overall, it's alright. Though it's not as good as Paper Mario 64, TTYD, and Super Paper Mario, but it's still pretty alright. Battle system is sometimes stressful. Good concept, but still bothersome sometimes.

    This is a turn based combat system game. Not your typical Mario game. Graphically looks great, very Nintendo, and last around 25-30 hours. Sometimes I wish I could fast forward the fights, great game though.
