Dreams of a fun game don’t come true. It’s a walking simulator in Bioshock’s clothing. It wastes the idea of a cartoon monster and makes it into another survival horror game.
The world and writing is top tier, the graphics and designs are top tier, and the gameplay is monotonous and annoying and is worse than Mario and Luigi’s combat by a long shot…
Oh dear.
Oh dear.

I feel like I'm looking through a window right at a fancy party complete with turkey, and I'm stuck outside, not being able to get what's going on. I don't want to hate this game, or this series, but it's just utterly boring to me. I tried the SNES game, the N64 one now, the Gamecube one, and gameboy advances games, but I just couldn't get into the series. I hope this game gets a new release for the fans of the series, but I sadly can't say I'm a fan of these games. Maybe Mario Kart and Crash Team Racing ruined me, I don't know...

Fun at the time, but with every passing Mario game that uses 3D platforming it holds up less and less.

Definitely better off as a comic book rather than a game, but goddamn Crow has to be one of the best characters I saw and without a doubt the best villain. He's just such a charismatic crook that is able to keep his captives happy. I have to respect that.
One of my proudest accomplishments was failing the final jump in Hard mode, getting a game over and being kicked back to the start of the game, and than coming back and completing it. You only really appreciate a game after you get slapped by it at its hardest and you slap back so hard it gets a concussion. It's like the slap scene in Squid but instead of just taking that business guy's offer, you take the briefcase and smack him across the face.

A great game for any phone to pop up and play around with every now and then. Who knew that city planning could be such a pain?

Absolutely simplistic but absolutely fun. The best kind of game to put on a IPhone.

This review was written before the game released
If you like turn based strategy games like Fire Emblem you would like this game based on the demo I played. I don’t like turn based strategy games, but hey, at least I tried it.

Mario but he real and 2D. And he is also falling to his doom on the cover art.

That was a pretty fun little round of pinball I downloaded off the EShop. Have to go brush my teeth now; be back later.

If I was more into Metroidvanias I would probably like this a bit more, but as I am now, meh. It’s ok.
Update: Yeah no, this game kind of pissed me off with how much it loved not explaining anything to me. From forcing you to scan every bit of screen just to find where you can get a powerup, to its terrible wall-jumping mechanic, and not telling you that you can run with the B button, which is MANDATORY to get through the game...this game kind of killed my interest in the Metroid franchise, not gonna lie.

Literally Orwell's Animal Farm.

I can tell that this is a game that people would like; it's just not a game that I'm into. At least I gave the Dark Souls series a fair shot.
Update: Managed to beat the Tree Sentinel, and my first words after that were "Thanking fucking god I don't have to do that again." I think this series isn't for me.

If, and I repeat, IF, you are willing to not put money into the gacha system, you have a pretty decent Mario Kart game on your phone. Shame the tracks are being ported to switch and killing any reason this game had for existing...
Wait, Pauline sings as a character?
