Would be 5-stars if the aesthetics were more charming like previous titles. Like damn, I can't be the only one who finds humans walking around near Mario to be hella jarring. Looks more like a Sonic hub than Mario. Also, moons don't always feel rewarding.
Great game. The non-test chamber stuff in the middle was kinda whatever. They introduce all these new little concepts but the game is still too short to fully develop more of these ideas. Story is mid-tier Pixar film with gimmicky humor. Somewhat overrated but I still really liked the gameplay!
REALLY good stuff here, but too much is rehashed in terms of levels, TERRIBLE intro too. Fully realized this could have been great, but as it is, it is a really good but blatantly flawed title
