    We miss Mario & Luigi adventures and this light RPG feels like a great return. [Recommended]

    It’s been a long wait for a new Mario & Luigi game, so Brothership is welcome in at least bringing the franchise back. But Nintendo’s new game takes fewer, far less interesting risks at reimagining the Mario & Luigi brand of action-RPG gameplay compared to its predecessors. Instead, Mario & Luigi: Brothership, with its roughly 25-hour story and an endless list of things to check off, seems to have learned an unfortunate lesson from other RPGs, favoring bloat over reinvention.

    Games like Brothership occasionally demonstrate why its hybrid nature doesn’t always serve that fantastic library as well as it could.

    What has always separated the Mario RPGs — aside from all of the Nintendo trappings — is their sense of humor. These games are funny. And Brothership is just as goofy as its contemporaries, with communities suffering from chronic hair gel shortages and characters that include a floating pig (who definitely isn’t a pig) and an old turnip who gives terrible advice and makes even worse puns.
