Some may say it's forgettable but it really is a great mario game with a banger soundtrack

This game has a great aesthetic, good story and a banger soundtrack but my god the combat can get so frustrating.

7.5/10

This is a great game, amazing graphics, music and characters as well. But it’s not even a fourth of the original game, it’s basically just the intro but padded out. Square had said that with the size of the original it would take multiple games and they were certainly right. From what I see here though it looks promising with the exception of some gripes I have with the story and some other aspects compared to the original, but a solid 8.5/10 at the very least.

Tell me how the fuck I’m supposed to know this, I can get some bullshit in the middle of nowhere and my friend gets times square

Very disappointed, SMW2:YI is my second favorite Mario game but this was such a lesser version unlike something like Super Mario 64 and it's DS counterpart. Still fine just needed more to it.

6/10

First rule of Postal III, we do not talk about Postal III.

Seven minutes. Seven minutes is all I can spare to play with you.

Watched Pewdiepie play through this entire game years ago and now that I’ve played it myself, it’s just as good as I remember.

8.5/10

Not as good as season 1, but still extremely good.

I had not played this game for 8 years only watching Markiplier play it back then. Now that I finally played it myself I couldn’t stop crying.

This a very basic game from a gameplay perspective, but the personal connection the creator has to it together with the real life experience the creator had made this game go from an average 5 to a great 7.5/10.

Absolutely phenomenal, I love this game. The characters here are interesting with everyone having their unique traits, stories and so on. While I’m not a graphics fanatic, I’ll admit that it honestly impressed me how good this game looks still even after 6 years. Unfortunately I do have some issues with this game that did dumb it down to a 9/10 instead of a full 10/10.

To start I think the gameplay is a bit stale. It’s an improvement from previous entries like the Grand Theft Auto series and the first game but it still is the reused formulaic Rockstar gameplay. I do like features such as the ability to “talk” to npc’s in two different ways and in combat things such as Tonics, Deadeye, even just the slow motion shots that sometime occur when killing an enemy, but features such as those doesn’t save it in the end. You might not get tired of the combat, but by the end I wasn’t as engaged by it like I was at the start.

The other part of my gameplay critique are the missions. In nearly every Rockstar game after Grand Theft Auto IV their games have used a more structured approach to missions which works but is also a double-edged sword. This approach can make for a more cinematic experience in gameplay, but it also doesn’t allow for any creativity or real thought from the player making every approach to all missions the same for every player. Which in turn can also bring down the replay value for some.

Another critique of the missions is the formula for them. A lot of missions here act the same, which includes; talking to the person you approached, going to the destination on horseback, doing the unique thing to the mission leading to a shootout, then either end the mission there or ride somewhere on horseback again where it ends. Yes it works, but no player will have a unique experience or approach to the missions again tuning down the replay value. Realizing this structure and playing through the story again makes it feel a bit repetitive, padded even.

But that’s more or less my only critiques for this game, I still love everything on display here. The story is just as good as people make it out to be and the open-world is not only beautiful but rich with numerous random encounters and stories making it feel more immersive and real. All in all, an amazing game only held back by some minor flaws in my opinion.

9/10

I’m going to start by saying that this game’s art style and direction was fantastic, while I do love the more darker Zelda’s, this is still an amazing Zelda and an amazing game overall. I can say that if you’re hesitant to play this because of the art style, you’re really missing out.

8.5/10
