My wife and I love Mario rpg everything. From Super Mario Rpg on the super Nintendo, to paper Mario to sticker star. We have played them all. This game is very immersive and brings a new light to the mushroom kingdom. However, I hate the combat. It's fun for about 5 minutes, but becomes a slog of puzzley mess. Especially when it comes to boss battles. I don't need another gimmick. I want either "whack the enemy with a hammer" or " jump on them". If I wanted a puzzle- esque game I'd have played Zelda. I grow tired of being sold some new gimmick under the guise of a nostalgic cash grab.
