Full disclosure, this is my first and, as of the time of writing, only Paper Marion game to date.

The moment-to-moment experience of playing Origami King was intensely frustrating. The story feels like an endless series of roadblocks, needing to go to a different location to remove the obstacle blocking the path in the previous location. That combined with the truly just OK fights made any sort of progress feel agonising.

The game's saving grace - the League of Stationary. People apparently hate these guys for lacking "character design", but out of context problem scissors and hole punches and what not fucking rule, what a great concept. The ways they switch up the combat is great (way better than the elemental beast guys) and they have the best tracks in the OST.
