Having grown up on the original Paper Mario on the N64, and some serious hype from my Twitch audience), I had high expectations for this game. I think that set the bar a bit too high. This game was fun, to be sure. The writing was clever, the combat interesting, and it was definitely a step up from the original. However, I find that I still love the original more. It had that X factor that is hard to describe. This game, however, is a close second.
