playing this after years of internet praise made me realize that playing too much nintendo gives you a disease that makes you like bad games
Loved this game but as a wee child I sucked at it
Paper Mario again… but for some reason it’s now one of the best games they ever put out with everything they added and did. I am deeply saddened about never having the chance to play this as a wee lad because this would probably be in my top 5 otherwise, oh well. Doing everything the 64 original did but cranking it to 200% with more complexity in characters (such as Vivian and Bobbery), humor (many laugh out loud moments), combat (stylish, super guard and like 100 more things) and style (leaning more into the paper aesthetic) helps it go into the Nintendo all-time hall of fame; it isn’t hard to be amazed at the clear passion this shows off with so many little details that would drive me crazy if I tried finding them all, and 20 years going by doesn’t even diminish its quality. Jesus.
4/5. Score was given in his No Man's Sky review.

i love goombella
One of my favourite games and something I could play forever. The world is fascinating, the characters are memorable, the writing is hilarious, the music is beautiful, and the content is plentiful. There's some backtracking in a couple chapters, but things like that don't bother you when just being in the world is so perfect.
