greatest platformer of all time (idk actually, haven't played most of them, but this was is really good)

amazing artstyle, music and cute characters. i love yoshi to death
TO DEATH YOU HEAR ME

Absolutely loved this for the most part. Just like most people, I liked everything except the battle system. Almost every time I had to fight I sighed a soft bitter sigh. That's what makes this game so frustrating: you can see so clearly what they could've done to make this game perfect but they just refuse to. You want to fall in love with the game but the main mechanic of the game just doesn't feel right. and therefore you keep being friends...

which is also fine 4 STARS FOR THIS LOVELY EXPERIENCE ALSO I CRIED AT THE END

the best game ever made and I have played the game of life

insanely creative environments, insanely creative characters with incredible backstories (most of them), unbelievably funny, exciting, challenging, heartbreaking, inspiring, adventurous, colorful, spectacular and all round just a pretty cool game.

Gotta replay this one again but honestly still one of my favorite memories of playing video games as a kid. Everything in this game just speaks to me; the coziness of sneaking around a castle at night, the colorful characters, the humor, the little houses, leveling up, making friends, all the secrets, murder mystery.. too much to even write down here.
PAPER MARIO I LOVE IT
