It needs to be said that I have not completed the game yet and this review may get changed if the game impresses me more later. But having beaten the first two streamers, and at the point I am now. I must say the game is kind of boring. It feels a little too childish, not very challenging and its pretty damn obvious every move you have to do in terms of figuring out the next steps. The dialogue is too obvious and straight to the point. The older games like TTYD and the original paper mario left a lot to the imagination, and the navigation was much more open-world.
I liked having to go back to previous locations to do things, I liked sometimes having to figure out what to do. This one feels like it was made for 12yo and under. A little too simple in my opinion.
Like I said; this opinion could change, but so far it’s been nothing but a linear narrative with too obvious of hints as to where to go next.
Not to mention that the battle system doesn’t have an actual purpose, no XP system, no ranking up. These are things that usually keep the users engaged and wanting to do more battles to ensure an easier boss battle. I find myself just annoyed now going into an enemy battle that isn’t a boss fight.
