You know? I was enjoying my time with this game when I started playing it. I never played Sticker Star or Color Splash or any of the first few games outside of Super Paper Mario.

So yeah, I had pretty much no background on Paper Mario, so I was willing to give it a chance...And I did! I knew the game was getting somewhat good reviews, and I really didn't mind the combat system that much at first.

However...The more I played this game, the more I wished I was playing a traditional RPG. I don't like RPGs that much, but having to do this constant wheel puzzle bullshit, over and over again, even with the bosses...I just got pretty sick of it.

It's not like I hated the game or anything, but yeah, this is one of the few Switch games I actually regret buying, because by the end of it I was just eager to end the game and not having to deal with that anymore.

Other than the battle system, I would also say that this game still suffers from the same mediocrity the recent Paper Mario games suffer from in terms of characters and worldbuilding...It's just not interesting. When one of your bosses are a pair of scissors or a box of color pencils...You can't expect me to take this shit seriously.

It's fine. If you haven't played it, you are better off just waiting for the Thousand Year Door remake.
