While not as good as BIS, it does do some things better. I really like this world, and the story is okay too, the combat is amazing (as usual), and the gian battles are improved hugely from BIS, the gimmick of going into luigi's dreams is also really good, although they stay pretty surface-level throughout. The music in this game is amazing, the higher quality speakers of the 3DS really help elevate them compared to the DS.
But despite all that, it just doesn't live up to BIS. Going into bowsers body is GENIUS, and the story was way more interesting than Dream team. Also dream team LOVES giving tutorials, even for the most surface-level easy to understand bullshit, it's exhausting.

Sympa le mode difficile. Mention au combat contre Bowser Jr qui est l'un des combats les plus funs tout RPG confondu pour moi
Yeah, I liked this one. A lot of people say this one is just boring but I thought it was ok.
I liked the dream world idea and all of the different Luigi transformation gimmicks. The gameplay is just as solid as all the previous games too.
In terms of cons, I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the way these characters look now, since personally I preferred the way BiS looked. That and this game does drag on for maybe a bit too long in my opinion.
Other than that, it's still a Mario & Luigi game, you are probably gonna have a fun time with this one. It's just not as good as Bowser's Inside Story or maybe even Partners in Time.

good
i’m a very new m&l fan so i have no nostalgic bias towards these games. a couple years ago i decided to finally play through them all. LOVED the original trilogy to bits but something about dream team felt… off? it felt too slow, messed with my muscle memory i’d gained over the last 3 games and it didnt feel right. I shelfed it for a year or so and grew a bitter resentment towards it, saying it ruined the series and never got what made people love it…
until people got on my ass about it i decided to give it a second chance, see it through to the end to see if it was truly worth the hype. my answer? its GOOD. but i wouldnt consider it on par with the original trilogy. its a game with stellar world building with the pillos, zeekeeper and antasma. its amazingly fleshed out and i got really interested to its story. but the pillo kingdom itself feels very… bland? it uses the grass, desert, beach, jungle etc locations mario fans are used to but shakes it up in a way that doesnt really change it all THAT much. the gameplay however is where the game faulters hardest. it’s the same m&l you know but with weird motion and confusingly inconsistent input commands?? why would i use bye bye cannon when jet board is right there and does more damage? (granted this could be a nonissue because its been a while since i played the other games but idk)
the dream world itself is interesting in concept but doesnt really do much for me in terms of gameplay, its just very uninteresting puzzle solving mixed with fun luiginary effects, i like pulling on his mustache and making him sneeze, plus luigi’s character arc towards him being more confident… while done before was super nice to see :)
the main area where this game shines for me is the giant battles!!! oh my god these are soooo good, the spectacle of it all is magnificent! the bowser fight ESPECIALLY was great for someone like me who loves BiS to bits. plus the zeekeeper fight and the giant town robot were probably luigi at his coolest. while basic in gameplay the pure spectacle of it alone easily made going through the game worth it, just to see how cool it could get.
me personally, i wouldnt blame you if you skip it but if you decide to see it all the way through, you’re in for a pretty fun time with cool characters and a cool setting.

I love the art style for this game and though it doesn't quite manage to live up to the charm of the previous games in the series, that doesn't mean it lacks a charm of its own.
its aight
As a follow up, it doesn't a great job! While I still prefer Bowser's Inside Story, Dream Team was still filled with fun bosses, a great story, and using Luigi in the dream world for power ups is so good. Love this game.
To me it's on par with bowser's inside story, dream team was the last great game of the series and its unfortunate.
if this game was 20 hours instead of ALMOST 40 I think this would be a truly great game just like the ones before it. there are so many great ideas buried through how god damn slow it all feels
My favorite Mario & Luigi game to date! The highs are just too high for me to not like it. I understand the hate of the tutorials, but I feel like they were exaggerated. I do wish the motion controls worked better though. Still my favorite OST, battle system, world, community, art style, etc.
