A Fresh new gaming experience if you are a Mario fan.
I wouldn't call it a puzzle game tbh as it does require certain timing and agility true to platforming games. But yes, the focus is more on puzzle solving.
Beautiful world that is rotated by the players 360 both axis which is super awesome visually. Music is awesome, and the fun factor can be quite lasting. Each new level adds new layers of challenges and skills needed, which is very very surprising for me. After level 50 I am still surprised by the new dimensions of gameplay introduced in every new level.
Does this have the same load of content like Mario Odyssey? Of course not. But is it a wholesome fun that you want to finish and complete 100% not because you are obsessive but because it is fun? Yes it is.
If you are a Mario fan, this is a must, without a doubt. If you are not, it is an ok game. Above average, but might not justify the retail price.
