Underrated game. Has probably my favorite final boss fight in any game ever, brought me to tears. I love Earthbound slightly more, but every Mother game is genuinely amazing.
Controls are wonky but the game is amazing. The vibe is immaculate, and the graphics still hold well, but that might be because I really like low-poly graphics.
It introduced Proto Man, and I'm grateful for that, but everything else in the game is painful. The lag is atrocious. I can understand the appeal, mostly because of nostalgia, but for me it felt extremely overrated.
