I’ll be honest, this game wasn’t that great. It was still good, but kinda ‘eh’ overall. Obviously, the combat is the highlight and is as fun as ever. Nero is really fun to play with, especially with his demon grapple hand. Knocking enemies back, and then pulling them back in to beat them some more is very satisfying. The game looks great, the soundtrack is fun, the character designs are cool. But the story is ass. Not much more complex than Bowser kidnaps Princess Peach and Mario has to save her. A simple story is not necessarily bad, but this one is just boring. Sure, the cutscenes are hella fun, but the supporting characters are really bland. And the second half of the game is super weak. A bit disappointed, but I still had a good time.
