All killer, no filler.
Every single stage is full of charm and ideas, levels are tightly designed with secrets, optional wonder seeds and optional exits. It's art style is charmful as ever, badge system makes replaying levels more fun.
Only thing going against it are bosses.
Ohhh man this game is so great, Pizza Tower 2 has arrived.

Mario Wonder is a joy of a game. The thing that really stands out is the graphics/art style and sound design. Good enough to win my goty in all of those categories. The gameplay is pretty simple, but the variety in stages and enemies keeps the game fresh throughout. Some of my only complaints are the game is a tad too easy, even when going for 100% on levels and the end boss fight could have had some better design or mechanics. A contender for best game of 2023!

Super Mario Bros. Wonder marked a necessary and innovative direction for Super Mario's 2D games. After numerous titles following a similar formula and several years without a new release, Nintendo decided to introduce some significant changes.

At the beginning of this review, it's essential to highlight that Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a classic 2D side-scrolling game with modern features. While introducing something new to the franchise, it represents an evolution of the first Super Mario games released on the NES.

Critics argue that the game is completely different from the New Mario Bros. series, but I disagree with that assessment. Despite having some distinct features and being an improved version, it essentially remains the same game. It is undoubtedly an evolution of the previous games released on the Wii, DS, and Wii U.

The art is incredible, making it arguably the most beautiful Mario game ever released.

In conclusion, the timing was perfect for the 2D Mario games, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder stands out as the best side-scrolling Mario game to date. Personally, it might not be the type of game I typically enjoy, but I can't deny its excellence. It's a game that excels in everything it sets out to accomplish.

There is nothing better than starting trilogy from the last game
Really good game
Maps are well designed, game let's you do anything, it controls very well.

Designing this around the DK Bongo Controller as the main interface was such an insane idea and I love how well it works.

This game rules so fucking hard.

Remember all the gaming media hipsters who always keep telling you that this game truly pushes the medium forward, and that game is one true example of games as an art form?

This is the game where these pretentious remarks are actually true for once.

I have no words.

Also Karlach is best girl, it's not even a contest.

Fantastic expansion!
CDPR really make the best dlcs.
Best looking game as of 2023, playing this with 4090 pathtracing is such an experience.

Looks like Fromsoft got new competition!
Lies of P is a mix between Bloodborne and Sekiro, the combat is fluid and smooth and for the most part well designed in terms of patterns and weight a thing most Soulslike miss out.
The world of Krat is beautifully designed and has gripping atmosphere and impressive aesthetics.
The customization is pretty good and the story is interesting.

One of the best Soulsdlike, im interested to see what this dev will bring out next.
