    Origami King has a decent story line. Some aspects of it are cute in a childlike way. It really gets you thinking and planning out strategies when it comes to the battles. And it’s better than Sticker Star.

    I love this game! It is so cute & so fun! The graphics are absolutely amazing! Which is really neat during a paper mario game! There are some parts that aren't paper and it's so realistic too! Really fun story line too! This game is ALL THINGS GOOD!

    Fun, but not my favorite Paper mario title. Still worth it if you like the series, though. The game really shines in its art direction and humor. I preferred the battle system of previous paper mario titles but this one did grow on me. It's a fun adventure and if you're familliar with Paper Mario, you'll get exactly what you expect.

    I bought this game for my wife and it is so much fun! It is challenging but simple enough to enjoy. The use of color and the music score is awesome! We enjoy Mario titles and would highly recommend this game to those looking for something fun & new!

    I haven't beat Final Boss yet. I will say, this is beautiful. Perhaps improve since Color Splash. Battle Music, I like it! I love to play that kind of Puzzle. Spoiler-Free: One of that part, it stabs my heart. Oh Nintendo, you knew how to playing with my feelings!

    A fun engaging adventure with a TON of charm! I played Paper Mario 64 back in the day but haven't played any entries since. I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this game! The art style is fantastic and the new battle format kept me on my toes.

    Love playing all the past paper mario games and this one doesn't disappoint, my only complaint would be the combat can be a little repetitive and some boss battles can be a little bit challenging but other than that it's a great game for any Nintendo fan

    My first experience with Paper Mario was Sticker Star. This is SO MUCH BETTER than that. It has an interesting battle system with rings and such so there’s a lot of strategy. The visuals are so pretty and the music is, too. I recommend this if you like RPGs.

    Fun Game for Kids and Adults

    My kids are having fun with this game. It has a good story with a good amount of charm and comedy. The boss fights are the highlight of combat. The regular fights can get tedious to where you just want to avoid them. Don't expect much in terms of RPG elements. There is no leveling up in this game (hence wanting to skip fights).

    My wife and I love playing through this casual fun game as all the Paper Marios have been in the past. They tried to re-vamp the combat system and we both find it annoying at how often you have to go into the combat sequence and line the enemies up. Graphics, dialogue, and the Mario prominence makes this more than playable and fun.

    This game isn’t Thousand Year Door but that’s ok. The environments are beautiful, the writing funny and charming, and the puzzle type combat makes you think like a strategy game. I have only beat the first 2 bosses and I’m loving every second, been taking my time sometimes getting lost in the world looking for toads. Everyone needs to stop thinking that every Paper Mario has to be like Thousand Year Door, if you come in knowing it’s an adventure puzzle like game with a tiny bit of RPG elements you will like it so much more, there’s so much fun to be had and it has such unique touches. I would recommend this game for any age but those under maybe 8 might need a little help with the combat as it is a little tricky and you have to think fast with the puzzles. I don’t listen to what others say I think this is a great Paper Mario game.

    Great game - I've been enjoying playing it along with my 5 year old watching and helping me to solve the puzzles/riddles. Lots of fun and a great addition to the paper mario collection.

    I love this game. It’s paper Mario with all the charm and story. However, the leveling and rpg aspects have been stripped away. Also the battle system is unique, but can get tiring for some. I recommend looking up a YouTube video to see it in action.

    Overall an okay addition to the paper Mario series. Battles do get repetitive after a while.
