It was pretty fun at the start as most seasons are, and the festival mode was easily the highlight for me. BR was good especially after the medallion changes, but looking back a lot of the changes in this season kinda...sucked? Idk, there's a lot I'm not crazy for after the hype has worn off
Picked it up because I heard it was made by the Rayman Legends team, stayed because it was a really fun Metroidvania (a genre I have no experience in) with great platforming and some decent puzzles. I was blown away how good this was. It ditched a lot of what we know from Ubisoft and is easily better off because of it. Ubisoft should really focus on these smaller, tighter experiences because it feels so much better to play.
While I borrowed a copy from my library for Xbox and did most of my playing there, I straight up bought the switch version and it runs silky smooth. Great stuff all around.

I got on sale and have kind of just been goofing around and I think it's great for that. Runs really well on switch and is handy to just pick up and break a few signs and do a race. Visibility in portable mode could be better but otherwise fun

Very fun little romp. I would say most of it still holds up today, although it was a little easy (but makes sense for Mario). The music and graphics are genuinely amazing. My only issue is that I don't think I will really be able to name what happened in the story, just that it was just a really fun game.
2007
Very fun little puzzle game. Really enjoyed this on Switch especially, felt amazing there.
First RE game that isn't 4 or 4 Remake. I think it started strong and then took a nosedive. It just feels so repetitive and I never felt like the story got super deep. I found a lot of the attempts of being serious to be super cheesy. For a 3DS game, I think it looks amazing, but on HD systems it looks like garbage. The 2 random guys are so insufferable that I would dread playing them. I wish they could have just cut them and everything else that wasn't on the boat but even then you are still left with a mediocre game
2018
It was good. I wouldn't describe it as groundbreaking but most of my fun derived from just playing with a friend. Some of the puzzles were really tough but satisfying to find the solution. I think some of the mechanics could have been expanded, because there's only so much the pull mechanics can do, but they did what they could. I just wish there was native online (not Steam Remote Play).
Very good. Lots of creativity in the levels and the Wonder Seed mechanic was very good (even if some of the transformations were kind of odd). The game looks and sounds amazing and was a blast to play through. I only wish there were some harder levels, although for a Mario game I can understand not having them.
2020
Idk man, the level design was kinda ass imo. I think it starts sort of fun but then quickly dips down into not being that much fun. The levels were confusing and I never felt satisfied beating them
2023
Serviceable. The levels were good if a bit long. I liked the power ups a lot even if they could break the game. I know it's using Mania's physics, but due to the camera or something else you feel sort of sluggish at times. Also the Xbox version has some awful input lag that doesn't appear anywhere else, so avoid this version if possible. Not sure what they said to Jun for the soundtrack but it's not it.
2013
There's basically nothing of note to say here. The Deadly Six are some of the least interesting bosses ever, Sonic feels heavy as a rock, the game is very generic in terms of theming, and the game refuses to stick to one gameplay style for longer than 2 stages. However, I didn't find anything egregious, just boring. I did like the music and graphics though
2018
What a game. Truly has some of the best storytelling this medium has to offer. The gameplay was fun and the in engine cutscenes and graphics as a whole were breathtaking. My only complaint is the RPG elements which I found kind of tacked on, although not so intrusive it ruined the entire experience.
2015
Embarrassingly good
(Only played Mario U, haven't played Luigi U but will get to it)
It's a New Super game, so at its core it's a good game. The bad part is that I've basically played and 100%ed this game 3 other times on 3 other systems. I was bored so much throughout and can only really recommend it if you HAVE to see what New Super is about. But if you're looking for a 2D Mario on Switch I wonder why you don't go for Wonder. This was probably the game I was dreading most on my shelved, so at least I got it out of the way.

Maybe I'll come back, maybe I won't. Couldn't really keep my attention
