There was not a second of this experience that I was not enjoying this game. A game that takes just the right ideas from its inspiration/genre of the souls franchise and combines it with an entirely fresh take on combat ideals that feel so finalized. The soundtrack is so varied and unique, yet consistently enjoyable. Please play this game.

Super Mario RPG has all the bones that would later make up Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi. With that comes with less depth in retrospect, however, the Switch version adds just the right polish to where its combat still feels good. The game's charm and dialogue has not shifted either, and remains honestly enjoyable rather than pure filler.
While the price is still a bit too high, this DLC vastly outshines the previous generations approach. A connected story that introduces multiple new lovable characters, something this generation has done a good job on throughout. While the handling of shiny locks is disappointing, this DLC provides some of the best approaches to legendary encounters. A great conclusion to a troubled yet phenomenal game

The gameplay remains consistently enjoyable, however some encounters feel like the waves of enemies never end. Boss fights are solid, but not exceptional. The story continues the trend of a fresh yet familiar Spider-Man tale that combines multiple classic Spider-arcs into one cohesive narrative. While it hits some strong emotional high points, it still lives in the shadow of the first games climax. I also found multiple bugs and even a major crash while playing this game almost two months post launch.
