    As always, Nintendo has delivered a fantastic game! Creative and original game mechanics, fun story, and innovate character design. The puzzles are challenging but not impossible. Perfect game for the 10-12 age set (older, too!). A don't-miss game.

    Haven't played Paper Mario since the original, and these games are like night and day. Origami King is a puzzle adventure, which is fine for the most part, until you get into any battle (don't even get me started on boss battles)... There are plenty of witty puns and cute conversations with NPCs. Beyond that this game is barely enjoyable.

    Good game, Def better then i thought it would be, story can be a bit cheesy since it is geared towards kids but the mechanics are pretty interesting and so is the combat but that can take a bit to get used to, overall happy with my purchase and would recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxed game

    Different than the other Paper Mario’s as no Experience Points are gained every time you battle. The battle system is different, but with my busy schedule, it’s kind of a welcome change, since I don’t have to spend so much time leveling up and instead can spend my time exploring the world or continuing the story!

    While the previous two Paper Mario's (Sticker Star & Color Splash) were all right but didn't meet the high standard set by the earlier ones, so far The Origami King is hitting all the right notes. Looks to be a very exciting and fun-filled outing this time and a great addition to the Nintendo Switch game library.

    After a few down titles, this Paper Mario brings back the great experience found in the original N64 title. Battle mechanics are great, looks amazing for its given style, and the story is classic Nintendo. If you've skipped the last few Paper Mario games, this is the one to get you back in.

    Paper Mario is a really unique and fun game for all. My family was really excited for Paper Mario on the Switch and Nintendo did not disappoint. Not only does it look amazing, but the game play is great and there are a ton of different objectives to keep the game going well past just beating the boss.

    Loved this game. I was skeptical of a Paper Mario being enjoyable. Wasnt sure it would live up to the hype after the 1000 year door. But it did, and I'm glad I got it. Even as an adult this game really hit me in the feels a few times. Dont want to spoil anything but I greatly enjoyed this game and recommend it.

    Its been a while since I've played a rpg mario game and even more so for a paper mario game. Its fun to play, story is funny, but the combat setup is not that fun. I couldn't get into the spinning and setting up a line or group with the enemies. Its kind of kept me away from playing it, other than that it is fun, but not $60 fun. Wait for a price drop to at least $40, whenever that will happen.

    For those of you afraid to buy this game due to the last 2 stinkers in the Paper Mario series (Sticker Star and Color Splash) don't be afraid to jump into this one. This one is a step in the right direction back to the classic Paper Mario we've all grown up with and love. Definitely enjoyed the game.

    I thoroughly enjoy the Paper Mario series and though I wish that we could have a game that mirrors a lot of the qualities that made the first two games excellent and classic, I have enjoyed this game immensely and appreciate it's keeping with the spirit of the series. A must for any Paper Mario fan.

    The paper Mario series constantly reinvents itself like a lot of Nintendo's first party games and this one is no different. The combat is new and refreshing although a little bit strange and takes a little bit of time to get used to. Definitely a good buy for any Mario fan and especially for paper Mario fans.

    I haven't played any of the other Paper Mario's but this seems good to me. Nice graphics and very creative, finding the hidden Toad's is a lot of fun. Some of the smaller battles do get a little repetitive but eventually you can start to avoid some of them and mix it up some. Not much story of course but the characters and gameplay are good.

    The first few paper mario games were rpg games, if you go into this thinking it's a rpg you're going to be disappointed. There is no experience points or anything like that. But it's a fun adventure game with great writing and amazing visuals. The combat is more a puzzle than anything and things are broken up with a significant amount of one off fun set pieces like theatre, boating, and more.

    Origami King is taking a step in the right direction. It’s a gorgeous game, with a great soundtrack and interesting mechanics and story. Of course the battle system can be 50/50 and the reintroduction of partners is nice. Even though they aren’t permanent or controllable. Overall I am having a good time with Origami King.

    Great game in the paper mario series. Much better then previous entry color splash on the wii u or sticker star on the ds. Well it is not thousand year door sequel we want. It was still the best once since. The battle mechanic different but in a good way. Well worth picking up

    So far so good on this game. I have been enjoying it more than the other Paper Mario sequels. It is still not quite as good as Thousand Year Door, but that set a difficult threshold to meet. It took some time to get used to the battle mechanics, but they add a fun twist to keep things interesting.
