    Everything but the gameplay is good. The visuals are amazing. Just look at the box art instead.

I bought a game to play, yet the game doesn't seem to want me to play it.… Expand

    The game is visually appealing and the story is nice but the battles are so boring that i think i’ll never replay this game again.

    Please make an HD version of TTYD so i can play again a fun Paper Mario game !

    Awesome art style but how can you mess up the gameplay? Keep it the same as Mario and Luigi titles. Why change the formula. How does Nintendo keep messing things up?

    What the game did right is exactly what we expect of a AAA Mario game, bright colorful world, fun uplifting music, generic characters (recolored toads in silly hats), and loads of collectibles.

But we really shouldn't be praising Nintendo for what they have been doing since the WII. Intelligent systems did make a change to the Paper Mario formula but unfortunately they spoiled it. They screwed up the combat system, like all the other negative reviews. They went with a weird ring puzzle design where you attempt to line up the enemies in rows and 2x2 squares. The ring is big with lots of open spaces but they limit the amount of moves you can make per-turn allowing you to only solve most puzzles one way (like a jig-saw puzzle). They added sub weapons that you can use like fire flowers and tanuki suit tail spin but they attack in the same formation as your jump or hammer making them not very useful items. Combat partners are a joke this time around being very useless almost laughable. And to top it all off you get nothing other than coins for the 2-5mins you could be spending every encounter, no exp to make you stronger, no unique items to grind for, just wasted time and more coins for your already overflowing coin pouch.
    Overall this game is like a house with a nice façade but the inside is a mess.    … Expand

    Normal battles will become chores, and to be honest, I stopped playing midway through world 5/6 because I just found the battles soooooooooo tedious.

    Bosses where also rather disappointing. All of them other than a few mache bosses are things (scissors, tape, rubber band, etc.) which is dull in of itself, but then there is the fact that there isn't much strategy to them. You just run around the ring, and depending on the boss use different ways to get to the middle.

    The mache battles are more interesting, fighting giant paper mache pokeys or bloopers, however these are rare occurrences...

    Overall, if you really like puzzles, this might be for you, but if you are looking for the classic RPG that the first three Paper Marios are, this is definitely not the game for you..    … Expand

    As a long-time fan of the Paper Mario series, the only thing I can say is that Nintendo sure is consistent when it comes to taking creative risks.

Unfortunately for The Origami King, the risks fell flat (haha). Before we dive into what went wrong, let’s talk about the undeniable strengths of the game. The most obvious quality of The Origami King is the incredible visuals. At almost every scene, you can't help but pause and appreciate what you are seeing. There are points where Mario and his team rest on benches providing you a glimpse of the incredible artwork in the surrounding area. Nintendo could not have created a more interesting and satisfying world to explore for the Paper Mario franchise. The images included in this review are just a taste of what you'll get to see and if stunning and unique art styles are a priority to you, I think this game will exceed your expectations.

    Another unexpected endowment of The Origami King is the story. Paper Mario has always been known for exploring characters from different backgrounds in the Mario Universe. It really is the only Nintendo series that gives you the perspectives of Goombas, Koopas, Bomb-ombs and a plethora of other Nintendo species. In this regard, The Origami King did not disappoint. The character development was strikingly deep and well thought out. Real sacrifices were made by each individual you befriend as they desperately try to help Mario save their world. There is even a super meta moment where the villain is forced to face his origin in a very interesting way. From my perspective, this is the furthest any Mario game has gone to give you a sense of dire need for a hero. It is not just a princess you are saving, but the entire Mario universe as we know it. Other aspects worth mentioning are a hilarious script and great diversity in challenges. There were lines in the game that made us laugh out loud and showed that it did not take itself too seriously.

    With everything I have described so far you are probably wondering why I started this review the way I did. And that is exactly what you should be thinking. So much of this game was propelling this title towards legendary status that it should be clear how much friction the risks they took ultimately caused. A key feature in the Paper Mario franchise is the combat. Any fan of the series knows Nintendo is no stranger to completely changing how fights progress. But the leap they took in this game left many fans wondering, how did we get here? The mechanics employed by Nintendo are called "carousel combat". The model is comprised of puzzle-like challenges where Mario must expend most of his time and energy lining enemies up rather than strategizing with weapons and abilities. It is as dull as it sounds and after a few hours it became exhaustively boring. Not only are the combat mechanics horribly chore-like, but Nintendo decided that leveling up your abilities through experience was no longer worth it. It is almost as if Nintendo knew how bad of a decision carousel combat was. There was so much incentive to circumvent combat with enemies that I found myself sprinting and dodging entirely through the game to avoid any contact that was not absolutely necessary. I could touch on the boss battles, but they were more of the same, just with extra steps.

    Another disappointment was the uselessness of your team. I fondly remember the older titles where each character that joined your squad brought unique and exciting combat features that created more depth to strategy. But the characters this time around stand awkwardly beside Mario while he pretends to be a kindergarten teacher and lines foes up single file. Even worse, they lazily perform moves that attack singular enemies for a fair amount of damage but without any thought given to their actions at all. You have no control over who they attack or what move they perform. This aspect was extremely disappointing to me and to my friends that I had encouraged to buy this game. Perhaps our expectations were too high, but that is only because we knew what Paper Mario: The Origami King could have been.

    Combat has evolved in every Paper Mario title but this time around Nintendo has many fans wondering if the future of the series will continue along this puzzling path. With a heavy heart and a lot of confusion, we at BLG give Paper Mario: The Origami King a 6 out of 10. This game was enjoyable and we only recommend it if you genuinely love the franchise for more than the combat, or you actually somehow enjoy hours of making enemies stand at attention before you perform one of two moves on them. Nintendo has always been perfectly clear that they will prioritize reinventing game play with every title, so hopefully that means we will never see carousel combat again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Paper Mario the Origami King is a solid adventure game. The world that is created here is incredibly unique and visually stunning, even if certain parts of it are comprised of the standard Mario fair. The Vellumentals and their temples give a sense of mystique and allure to the world that few Mario games can manage. The best part of this game without a doubt is the writing and characters. Olivia is one of the best partner characters Nintendo has ever made. She is cheerful, bubbly, easily frightened, and extremely enthusiastic about seeing new things and going to new places. She contrasts perfectly with her brother, King Olly, who feels nothing but contempt for the world and his creators. It creates a very strong emotional throughline for the main journey. And beyond that, the game is really funny. I found myself laughing out loud quite a few times throughout the adventure. Just about every NPC says something witty regarding their circumstances, one of them even parodying the Eric Andre show, which nobody under the age of 15 will probably get.

    The battle system is sort of give and take. Conceptually, it allows for satisfying puzzle solving that can make you feel like you're legitimately smart and can think outside the box. And many times, it does just that. Quite a few battles in the late game can be head scratchers, and took me a long time to figure out. However, just as many puzzles are pretty mindless and can be solved rather easily. And if you really feel like making the entire game this easy, the game gives you options to solve part of the puzzle for you. This is where coins come in. Unlike other Paper Mario games, battles don't give experience. Instead, you earn coins which can be used for buying time to solve puzzles, which is what I used them for most frequently, or you can use them to buy stronger items from shops. This makes the lack of experience pretty negligible, since you also don't earn more HP in the traditional sense. You earn more HP by exploring the world and finding Max increases at certain locations, and this also improves your other stats. The rest of the game is built around coins. But the downside to this, or possibly an upside depending on your perspective, is you can use coins to partially solve every battle puzzle automatically. On the one hand, it's nice to give people a little help when they can't figure it out themselves. On the other, solving the puzzles is never required just to finish the battles, it just gives you an attack multiplier to beat them faster. While I can see them attempting to appeal to that old-school arcade game mindset of "the better you are, the faster you can beat the game," it falls short here because the coins are so numerous that there's basically no punishment for letting the game solve the puzzle for you, so you can easily fall into a pattern of doing that for every fight and eliminating pretty much all of the game's challenge. I actively tried to avoid doing this, and I think it improved the experience for me. But I can fully understand why it would be a turn off for others.

    This is why I started by saying this is a good adventure game, because the best parts of the game revolve around the beautiful vistas, the fascinating locations, the sense of discovery and world-building. All of that is stellar. If you're looking for a solid adventure with funny dialogue, charming characters, and gorgeous scenery, you need to get this game. If you're looking for a challenging or otherwise thoughtful RPG, you're better off with the older Paper Mario games, but I still recommend this as long as you leep expectations in check.    … Expand

    For example, the battle system. At first I was interested because it was different from your standard Turn-based combat because of the the tile switching and stuff. And it is! It’s a pretty good battle system. However, the attacking itself is a bit... weird. A perfect attack and a weak attack have almost no difference in damage. And there are items, but there’s no reason to use them since they do less damage than normal weapons and are really just no different. You can also defend, but that’s only useful during bossfights really. There’s also toad town wich you can go to to buy weapons and items, but you always have a huge supply of them, so there’s really no reason to. The system is a lot better during bossfights, as there’s a lot more different combinations you can make and different things you can do. Talking about bossfights, using regular everyday objects such as scissors, tape, or rubber bands. The bossfights are a lot of fun. So, the battle system is pretty good, but has a big flaw.

    The story is phenomenal. There’s just so much charm in it. That definitely gets a 10/10 from me, no questions asked.

    The graphics are pretty good. I mean, you can’t really make a game about paper look more realistic, and some of the ending cutscenes look like they came straight out of a movie, so yeah.

    And this game is no short game either: I played for a few hours almost every day and it took me 4 weeks to complete. So definitly buy this if you want something that you want to enjoy for a long time.

    The music is great and very rememberable. There definitely has been some thought put into that. The bossfights all have unique music (except for the vellumentals). However, I think the final boss music should’ve been a bit more unique, as it sounded very generic.

    In conclusion: definitly give this game a try. You won’t regret it. I would give it a 9,5, but there is sometimes lack of detail and unpolished game aspects, so it gets a 8.8 out of me.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Paper Mario the Origami King is a fantastic game with few flaws and those few flaws are from higher ups. -Story-
    One of the highlights of this game is the story. I will talk a bit about it here so if that worries you skip anything in (). (SPOILERS!——
    Each and every character in Origami King is filled with life, identity and humor. The game strikes an incredible balance between humor, netrual, and serious. This is a modern big N game so don’t expect the next Majora’s Mask or Partners in Time but it knows when to be serious when to be neither and when to be funny. However, Due to Nintendo being safe the team was not able to make unique characters. But they still tried anyways. 8/10 story.)

    -Gameplay-
    —Overworld—
    Mario does not control super well in the overworld. I will admit I played a lot more Mario and Luigi than Paper Mario but it just felt, off. Mario only can really jump and hammer and it’s weird for a Mario game even a Mario RPG to have this horrible small jump. It just doesn’t work right. Overworld battles are ehh... I know a lot of people like them but to me they were alright. Not bad but I think they did a good job by putting just enough in for it not to get old but it doesn’t whear on you. The puzzle elements of the overworld are very very good however. And I think puzzles are a great fit for the series. Same with all the collectibles which are ironically Toads but it is a great deal of fun finding them all. 7/10 Overworld
    —Battles—
    Battles are great as well, It uses a unique battle system that is made very well. It uses this game’s greatest strength by making them like a puzzle to solve. You can use coins to buy extra time to solve the puzzles and pay the toads to help you. If you correctly solve it you get a nice attack bonus and that satisfying ah-ha! moment. It takes out EXP/Star Points/Love/Whatever and has coins. I love this coin system. It is so much more elegant. It takes grinding out completely. And makes it so that it’s more up to skill if you win or not. You get upgraded via coins by going to the mostly balanced shops and getting temporary upgrades. Which work like BOTW except you have a permanent hammer and jump. And get health by finding toads. (Except once which annoys me but I digress) Which allows you to still do hard playthroughs just like the old games by avoiding badges, health, and shops. You can also use items and the combat really didn’t get old till the very end but they were able to make less encounters happen when it got old. 10/10 Combat. Perfect.
    -Music-
    Origami King has one of the hands-down best soundtracks in a video game period. It’s kinda hard to describe it but so much effort was put into the smallest details. 10/10 Sound design.
    -Art-
    Finally, the art. Along with the other things this game’s art is excellent. It takes the design of Paper Mario and perfects it. The game is gorgeous and it is impressive because they would have had to painstakingly fold every price of origami in real life and get it right. It is breath taking. And it is flowing with originality as well. 10/10 Here as well.
    -Finish-
    Origami King is my pick for game of the year 2020 and it really deserves more attention. Please play it.    … Expand

    There are some moments of pure Nintendo perfection, particularly during the first half of the game. But after a while the collecting tasks becomes a slog and you dread getting thrown into the ring for yet another tedious battle.

    Unbearably boring, I couldn't take it any more. If the game didn't have any combat, it might be playable.

    The most underrated game of 2020, the visuals, story, characters, boss battles and graphics are all perfect.

    Just because the regular battles might get a bit boring over time did not take away from the game bring fantastic and my 2nd favorite Paper Mario game.

    The Origami King is a game greater than the sum of its parts. It reaffirms Nintendo’s status as king of innovation, even if the folds don’t quite align. [Issue #2, p.66]

    Paper Mario: The Origami King arrives on Nintendo Switch with very high quality graphics, a pleasant soundtrack and a plot full of very good humor, typical of the Paper Mario series. Among countless places to visit, bosses to win, and puzzles to solve, the game can be considered one of the best in the franchise.

    Paper Mario deserves better. The prestige of a Final Fantasy veteran appropriating his magic onto a handicraft world deserves better. The unforgettable wit and lovable cast expanding Mario lore deserves better. And we know that Intelligent Systems can do better than committing themselves to a misguided identity crisis.
