This review is for up to the beginning of Chapter 4 out of 7 and postgame. It has been a wonderful experience so far, and very enjoyable for just finishing playing Paper Mario 64 after so long. I plan to finish the others as well, except Color Splash, sorry Nintendo lol. But now to the review part of the game. I love the combat and how balanced it is, especially with how hard mode was made to be always possible. Money is hard in the beginning, I might even spend a few hours just grinding for stuff to buy and sell and then uses the bank, yes a bank in game with interest every 30 minutes. The normal enemies can have between 4-6 moves to keep you guessing at times, while bosses have multiple phases. From cooking, side quests, to even a in game card game, it’s amazing.
P.S. in chapter 3 look for the telescope, it will show you just how big/small the world is, and makes me wish for more someday.
