I've kind of been spoiled by Tropical Freeze's boss fights, so ig it's kinda natural that I didn't enjoy Super Mario Wonder as much as I had hoped I would. Don't get me wrong though, this is a solid platformer. I've never played any of the New Super Mario games so I can't compare Wonder to those, but I had a fun time with this game. It's a near-perfect game with fantastic art direction, really fun fast-paced levels, an overworld that actually looks interesting and not bland(uhh uhm Take notes Mario 3D World...), but here's what this game lacks: challenge.

If you know me, you know I'm the last person who'd complain about a game being easy, and I feel that should explain how easy this game is. My expectations were really high for this game because of my experiences with Odyssey and Tropical Freeze, and this game did deliver on pretty much everything. Every single level introduces a brand new mechanic that completely changes your perception on how to approach this level now.... but then you breeze through that level in no time without any problem. So yeah that's all. Really, REALLY fun, gorgeous looking game, but it's just too damn easy.

Or maybe Tropical Freeze just made me too good at 2D Platformers heh heh heh

(8.5/10)
