I've never played the original SNES Super Mario RPG so can't really say how this holds up as a remake of that game but as it's own thing this is great.

The game may be a little on the basic side when it comes to turn-based RPGs but I was expecting that and it's simplicity doesn't mean that the games combat isn't fun or lacks polish, this is a well designed and fun to engage with combat system. Similarly the games story is nothing complex its not your epic existential RPG but it doesn't need to be, the games just got a charm to it that made me feel like I was playing through a Saturday morning cartoon. I think this really compliments the game because its structure can feel quite episodic and the main highlights of this game comes from the places you explore and the characters you meet, this also made it very easy to just jump in and out of the game. It did take me an hour or so to warm to the game but once I started expanding the party and really getting used to this games style I had very few other problems.

One of the few areas of the game that was slightly annoying was actually it's platforming sections as it could be sometimes hard to line up my jumps correctly due to the camera placement but generally it was fine and isn't too big an aspect of the game.

I really recommend this game even to people who don't usually play turn-based RPGs its a good time and nice to see the Mario world presented in this way.
