It's got a pretty good plot for a Star Wars game with fun gameplay and good visuals but it's held back by optimization you might expect from Pokémon, with all the specs' recommendations met or exceeded and medium low graphics settings the game's framerate regularly dips, it stutters and freezes for moments at a time. Wall and floor clipping isn't a rarity and its not uncommon for enemies to have their ai bug out or float above the ground, but hey, at least it hasn't crashed at all?
Overall the game is enjoyable but it hurts to see how much better it could be if the developers were given the time to optimise their game

Recommended by a friend, I shall make sure to listen to that friend's suggestions more often now.
Possibly my favourite 3DS game, great SMT gameplay crossed with a NieR-esque Nietzschean plot makes for a great game, however a lot of tiny complaints build up to gatekeep it from a 10/10: why is Neutral Ending so conveluted, why are there only two save slots, why is there no N3DS C Stick support, why does the map lack labels or direction markers

The game feels kinda weird, the controls make it feel like an untested port at times and gameplay isn't the best while also managing to feel like it's high budget. So far the plot somehow feels both over the top American-ey and Anime-ey yet also has a curious draw to it that makes me consider going back to it

I give Mario 64 2 stars, 0.5 of which only because you can play with Mario's nose. The game feels generally jank and tries to cram far too many moves into too few buttons.
I give Mario Sunshine 3.5 stars, I have no major complaints however the game generally feels kind of stale
I give Mario Galaxy 2 stars, the gravity is too awkward to enjoy
Overall I would have given this collection the average score of 2.5 stars, however Nintendo's anti consumer practices around this game leaves me giving it a 2 star

[Ref Played 2023] It plays like a budget 2D Zelda with RPG elements, but that's not the worst thing a game can be
Pros: 2D Zelda hasn't released in a long time, the game feels pretty similar while being different enough to be satisfying and help scratch that itch
Cons: The touchscreen elements are pretty infuriating as well as the dated control system although that does help with the Zelda feel
