This game is so cute and so fun. The combat is pretty hard to get used to. Not sure if I am quite over the learning curve yet, but I am really enjoying myself so far.
It's like every part of the game was made by a different guy. The music, presentation and writing was given to God himself, while the gameplay and battle mechanics were given to a group of New York sewer rats.
Has some of the most memorable moments of any game I've ever played, but I don't think I'll ever return to it because I'd rather watch paint dry than do those god awful sliding puzzle battles.

my wife made me do the shyguy quiz minigame for her and its one of the worst things ive ever experienced in my life
(dont take this review seriously the rest of the game looked great)

My gut feeling says to stop playing a game that genuinely makes me want to avoid its combat.
Maybe its just nostalgia but damn this game is fun
A really cool premise for a Paper Mario Game. I liked exploring more than battling. The Battle system was a cool idea, but I just started paying for solutions to move things along for regular encounters
The battle system is fun, the visuals great and the story charming.
Not my cup of tea.
Best Paper Mario game, fight me.
Very fun game, but, unlike with first party Mario games, I didn't get the urge to 100% it.
Origami King is so strange to me because it felt like a downgraded color splash, the battles are fun and engaging because of the new wheel mechanic but still pointless, the writing this time around felt like it was missing something and the areas you go to don’t feel special or memorable. Story was interesting and has its high moments but feels pointless by the end because the ending is terrible. Good music, good gameplay and meh story
A better game than sticker star, but the combat gets quite tedious after a while. Story was OK at best.
Really good if unremarkable because of the lack of interesting characters and a repetitive combat system
In my opinion, the best in the series. The turn tables makes it stand out from other RPG's, which mostly all have the same mechanics. The best part of the game is probably how each NPC in the game has their own funny dialogues to read. I would recommend going back to talk to all the NPC's after beating the game to see what they have to say
i played the first chapter like a year ago after dreading touching it since I got it for Christmas the year it launched and I don’t think I’ve ever been so demotivated to continue a game. I’m happy for you if you enjoy modern Paper Mario but I’m hoping that if Mario RPG remake does well that it will incentivize Nintendo and Intelligent Systems (or whatever dev team they get) to go back to what worked before
I really liked filling the holes.
I wanted to like this so bad! The story is really fun!
A pleasant suprise since i wasnt really expecting much from this game. Lovely cast with some nice new interactions from the old (kamek and bowser jr esp).
Didnt vibe with the ring/system as much. and whole the elementals are flashy and cool it felt lacking interaction wise. i also found the some of the boss designs to be...kinda dull sadly.
On the other hand i did enjoy finding all the toads mostly to see what they'd say. Alot of the dialouge is really funny. The enviroments are also a treat.
I didnt bother trying to get 100% mostly bc i wanted to go out of a high note rather than waste time trying to get all the throphies and be frustrated
Not my fave paper mario game but still a solid one.

This game was clearly dealt a bad hand, so I respect this game for what it is. But what it is isn't all that exciting. I like that they basically repeat the "main partner has an attachment to the antagonist and the both die at the end" from spm, except way less impactful than that game. The battle mechanic is horrible, it feels so tacked on and unnecessary. Nothing about the game improves with it, except the epic as shit final boss. Overall, it's a very mixed bag. But I believe they did the best they could given the supposed limitations.
Por mas que sea el renacimiento de los juegos de Paper Mario, no me convenció y por mas que intenté que me gustara, me aburrió mucho hasta que no fui capaz de seguir y lo dejé. No necesariamente porque sea malo, simplemente no es para mi.
The battle system is the literal worst.
Boring but gonna try again
People with bad taste say they cried when they played Last of Us 2 because they have no soul. Real brutal emotional devastation and hours of gripping gameplay propelled by a moving and laugh-out-loud funny writing is right here!
not a return to form but a step in the right direction coming off SS and CS and a phenomenal game on its own
This felt more like a true Paper Mario game than the last couple of entries did, but the battle system wore out its welcome pretty quickly (although I had so many coins it wasn't hard to just pay-to-win my way through it when I didn't feel like engaging with it). The story and world are really good, though, and I liked the characters, new and old, a lot. And it did retain the old Paper Mario humor which I appreciated.
what enjoyment there is to have is hampered by the fact that A: it’s way too long and B: the gameplay overstays its welcome by like world 2
Es un juego muy divertido que perfecciona lo que viene siendo la fórmula desde que dejó de ser RPG
PERO, sigue fallando precisamente en eso, no es un RPG, pero no deja de serlo, si bien los combates tienen su punto y son una especie de minijuego entretenido (destacando los bosses), siguen volviendose repetitivos y sin existir verdadero incentivo para combatir. Que se aclaren de una vez, o es RPG o no pero que no se queden a medio camino. Un buen ejemplo de como podría ser el juego son los enemigos de papier-mache, añadiendo ideas del Super Paper Mario se tendría un buen gameplay sin ser RPG.
Quitando eso, es muy divertido, una maravilla visualmente, una historia graciosa, personajes carismaticos (pese a tener que ser genéricos por la estúpida norma de Miyamoto) y se agradece que hayan vuelto los acompañantes, aunque podrían ir más allá.

i pissed off my best buddy by repeatedly running into enemies while he watched me play the game because he kept saying "NOOOO THE ENEMIES DONT GIVE YOU ANY REWARDS"
Literally one of the most fun and creative games I have ever played. The different ways in which the battle system is influenced by enemies is always genious. The paper aesthetic looks stunning and every soundtrack is fantastic. This is absolutely the best game in the series. Just such a wonderful and hilarious adventure.
Combat needs improvement and variety. Story was good.
