In general, despite what many user reviews on sites like Metacritic may say, for my first time playing a Paper Mario game, I enjoyed myself, and although it wasn't the most riveting of experiences, I do not regret giving the game my time. It isn't the type of game to leave you jumping off your seat for years to come, but it is an experience I am glad I had and something I feel was an enjoyable time overall despite some glaring issues.
