    This Paper Mario Game was one of my biggest disappointment in my video game history. At first you are amazed about the beautiful graphics and artstyle but then when you enter a battle you can't believe what they have done. I really hated the battle-system so much that i cound not go on with this game. For me it's by far the worst Paper Mario game ever created!

    After reading many reviews that gave it a bad score I didn't got it until 2023 when it was discounted. Surprisingly I liked it a lot, the game is really good. The combat may get some times a bit tedious if you don't want to think but is not so bad as others seem to think.

    Paper Mario: The Origami King was a fantastic gaming experience. I milked this game for as long as I could because I didn't want it to end.

To be honest, it did not hook me right from the start. This is not because it was not compelling enough, but as a traditional Mario gamer it took me a while to resonate with the new characters that played a massive role in the story. It did not take long for the plot to hook me though, and once it did I couldn't put the game down.

    I do not understand complaints about any game being too long. If you're bored of a game, just... stop playing? People who enjoy games want them to continue. It's not like this game was overly repetitive - in fact, I'd argue the opposite. The ability to explore new settings, meet new characters, and the variety of objectives kept Origame King fresh throughout the entire story. The toad collection was repetitive but it was not much of a requirement to advance through the story so it could be ignored. Paper Mario games have always included humor and charm (shoutout to Gourmet Guy), and Origami King is no exception to this. The humor is very clever - got a few good laughts out of me. Of course, as an E-rated game it is a bit cheesy, but not in a cringeworthy way. I personally do not take much pride in beating a game as quickly as possible, I prefer to take my time and enjoy the experience. For those considering Origami King, I'd suggest taking such an approach if you do decide to give it a shot.

    Like others, I did not love the puzzle solving battle system. Unlike most others, it was not nearly egregious enough to ever make me consider putting the game down. It added another complicated element to the heat of these RPG battles, and while I see the vision, the execution was lacking. These battles are of course a huge part of this game, so this was the only reason I did not give Origami King a perfect score. That being said, the music for these battles was an absolute masterpiece. Truly one of the best pieces of VGM to ever enter my ears. Contrary to everything I said to criticize the battle system, I would find myself seeking out enemies just to bop to that banger. That music absolutely slaps. Great OST throughout the game but the battle music takes the cake. Also, the boss battles were not affected by the flaws of the battle system in my opinion. I thought the boss battles were fantastic.

    Overall, Origami King was a great time and I would suggest it to anybody who enjoys RPGs, adventure, Mario games, etc. I'd put this on par with the original Paper Mario for N64. Both games shine in different ways, but the bridge between them is a fantastic story that makes you never want to end.    … Expand

    Paper Mario is fun, because unlike Mario Odyssey, the story is humorously designed with allusions. There are a few mini-games that are entertaining, but not a must. The game can be played through 100% with skill without having to grind. The battle system takes some getting used to, (I haven't mastered it yet), but the attempt to create something new. One of the best Games for the Nintendo Switch.

    Played it after 3ds and it improved a lot of things from that one, but still some things just dont make sense for an RPG turn based game, like not leveling up, so usually you dont want to enter any fight.
    I actually like the new art style with everything papery so I think its a very beautiful game also with great graphics. It is very comic and engaging, did almost 100% and had a great time.

    As many already have mentioned, it has a terrible battle mode. There is absolutely nothing entertaining about it, and I try to avoid it, whenever I can. But if you can live with the horrible battle mode, then overall it is a fun and entertaining game, which you can spend many hours on. It is easy to control and you try many things in the game.

I found the new battle system oscillated between too easy or too artificially difficult, and not a lot in between. The summoning circles interested me at first because they reminded me of Tearaway, but they ended up feeling forced and clunky instead of organic. The collectibles are pointless and seemed like a way to artificially add content for the sake of adding content. Overall, this didn't feel like a PM game and didn't have the quality I expected, and even though I went in with an open mind, I still didn't care for it. You're not missing anything if you skip this one.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was initially hesitant upon getting this game due to the reception of the last 2 Paper Mario games, but I’m glad I did. In my opinion, this is the best Nintendo-published Switch game of 2020. The visuals are gorgeous; the slightly tweaked art style created to fit the origami nature really pops and makes the world seem much more alive. The soundtrack is great (I especially love Autumn Mountain’s music), and the writing is simultaneously quite funny, serious and heartwarming all at once. There were many moments in the game that left an impression on me in a very good way, like the lead-up to the boss battle in Shogun Studios where Mario was acting out scenes of a play in real time and the calming ride down the river in Autumn Mountain. Additionally, the areas of the game are so much more fun to explore and get lost in than Sticker Star or Color Splash. The world is interconnected in TOK and that is much better suited to this kind of game than separate stages. Plus, the locations aren’t quite as basic or rudimentary as they were in Sticker Star or the NSMB games. However, the game certainly isn’t without its problems.

    I complimented the writing and some parts of the story, but others were quite uninteresting. Olly is uninteresting as a villain and so are his motives; he only wants to create an origami realm because he hates the toads. That’s it. And on the subject of characters, there aren’t many that left an impression on me besides Bobby the Bob-omb (who ends up dying later on). Olivia, the companion character, can be frequently cute and wholesome, but not enough for me to have that much of an attachment to her. In terms of Mario himself, he has a few new abilities in this game, but they’re somewhat limiting. The 1000-Fold Arms technique allows for Mario’s arms to stretch out and grab certain creases on the wall to progress, but it’s context-sensitive and can only be used with a corresponding Magic Circle on the floor. It’s not used in battles or with solving puzzles or anything. Mario can also throw confetti to patch up holes in the ground, but that’s literally the only use it has. It doesn’t play into the battles in any way like the stickers or paint did in the last 2 games. And in terms of the battles themselves... Oh boy. If anything, I can commend Intelligent Systems for trying something unique and new, but the battles in TOK are cumbersome, frustrating, and worst of all, meaningless. It’s set in a ring where you have to line up the enemies in certain patterns that enable you to kill all of them at once, so it’s essentially a puzzle you have to solve before actually being able to attack. To me, it just takes a longer time than necessary to get going, especially if there are multiple rounds to the same battle, and it only lasts longer if you don’t line the enemies up perfectly. Yet if the battles get anything right, it’s the fact that they don’t use stickers or cards, meaning you will absolutely always have a means of attacking the enemy, which is wonderful. But in the end, none of that matters because you get no EXP from battles. All you get is coins, which are everywhere in the game and SO numerous. At least in Color Splash you were able to upgrade your paint capacity via battles, but in TOK they’re absolutely worthless. And the boss battles? I absolutely hate them (but I also kind of love them). There are a lot of boss battles in TOK, from the Vellumentals you have to defeat to utilize their powers later on, to real-life objects like a bin of colored pencils that make no thematic sense in this game. In the boss battles you have to clear out a path to reach them and beat some sense into them, but there are a lot of tricks they pull to make it harder. More often than not, it’ll be reaching the bosses that provides the challenge more than the actual attacks the bosses have, and it’s infuriating most of the time. To me, the boss fights are the worst parts of the game by a mile. However, the 1000-Fold Arms technique is actually utilized in the boss fights, and if you have motion controls turned on (yes, motion controls are something you can optionally use for things like 1000-Fold Arms and some other areas) you can shake the controller to beat the bosses senseless, and I am not exaggerating when I say that it’s one of the most therapeutic experiences I have ever had in a video game. It is SO gratifying that it almost makes up for how frustrating the journey was getting there.

    I know I spent much more time talking about my critiques with this game than the parts I enjoyed, but I really did have a great time with it. I would absolutely recommend this game, but I recommend playing it as an adventure game instead of an RPG. Skip the battles and you’ll still have a really fulfilling experience. I clocked in around 30 hours when I was done with the game so there’s still quite a bit of substance without the battles. Overall, this is a great game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not like the other paper mario games in that it barely leans into its rpg elements and is just puzzle. And, unfortunately, the puzzles are frustrating, where you have to memorize what order they're supposed to be solved rather than enjoying putting the puzzle together. And, we're talking all battles, with the vellumentals being the worst and everything after just getting progressively worse. Add to that Oliver or Ollie, or whatever the main secondary character's name is, is so annoying that I legitimately felt like leaving her under the rock she gets smooshed under later in the game and this is a game you'll get about 3/5 of the way through (hence the 6/10 rating) and then will probably quit, trade in, and get a game you might actually enjoy. It is very pretty though, probably the only enjoyable aspect.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The soundtrack is phenomenal. I don't think I've ever heard such incredible music from a Mario game. It really feels like I'm Paper Mario, doing whatever Paper Mario does. Honestly, the battle system is better than people say. I like how this game handles puzzle combat. The best part about this game is it's basically color splash and sticker star but it adds a few things from the older games to get the best of both sides. The dang environments are Origami and they each have their own banger theme to them so it's just a win to hear a track and explore the beautiful Paper World. It really feels like this is peak Paper Design here. It even has a similar mechanic as color splash where you fill in a part of the environment! What makes this even better is the new gimmick made possible by motion controls. It's wacky, it's creative, and it's enjoyable! The best part is, you get to use it in battle too! Now aside from the flashy art and effects, there is instances where some attacks might be very ineffective to the boss's health but there is obviously a more effective way to deal with each of them. The plot is as simple as writing your own name on paper but that's just another mario trope. The action is great and even though there isn't any EXP, Mario still grows a little stronger just by collecting Max-up Hearts which I like doing. The battle system doesn't really have much strategy and half of the time it's the same puzzle you gotta solve but because of the exaggerated effects and the music, I don't think you won't be running from too many battle just because of how flashy this game is!… Expand

    The Paper Mario games are always very whimsical, and Paper Mario: The Origami King is no exception. As usual, you play as Mario, in his paper form, in a world made of paper.

As usual, you play as Mario, in his paper form, in a world made of paper. You are going to the Origami Festival near Princess Peach’s castle, and, as happens in literally every game, something terrible happens – in this case, Princess Peach has been folded up into a horrible mind-controlled origami replica of herself by the titular Origami King. You soon learn that all of Bowser’s soldiers have also been folded up, and poor Bowser himself is little more than a square with a face.

    Naturally, it falls to Mario and his origami companion, Olly’s sister Olivia, to save the world.

    You proceed through six (though actually more like fifteen or so) distinct zones, each of them capped off with a boss. As you go through the game, you learn more about the origins of Olly and Olivia, as well as recruiting a rotating set of companions, some of which are familiar faces and some of them entirely new ones.

    Well, okay, not entirely new; you’ve seen their types before, but these are original characters.

    There are some surprisingly emotional moments in the story, but mostly, it is just silly – which, while okay, rarely excels. There are some fun gags, but it’s all very light, and not tremendously memorable. The serious moments in the game ARE memorable, all the more so for how surprising they are and how much they contrast with everything else.

    Unfortunately, there’s only really two of these moments, and the second one doesn’t stick around enough to really impact the player.

    Sadly, the actual game half of the game is no better. Replacing standard TTRPG combat is a puzzle wheel system, where you rotate enemies to line them up to either smash them with your hammer or hop on their heads. You get a bunch of durability based weapons that can only be used so many times before running out, but you end up with enough of them (and they are cheap enough to buy) that you never DO run out, and basically it feels pretty much entirely pointless beyond “Do I use weapon A, B, or C against this enemy type based on the line up?”

    The bosses use the same system, but instead of you lining up enemies, instead Mario starts out on the edge of a circle and the wheels have to be aligned to create a path for him, set up with arrows that tell him to move in a particular direction, with other panels that boost his attacks, allow him to attack the boss normally, or to use special “magical” powers, the last of which have to be enabled with “on” switches that are hidden in treasure chest panels you have to run over to enable, which also drops hearts and coins onto the battlefield.

    The bosses are really the highlight of the game mechanically, and are all reasonably enjoyable; the ordinary combat encounters are honestly basically pointless, as they are fundamentally all the same and don’t really add much to the game.

    Overall, though, the core gameplay is pretty epehemeral. The bosses are really the only parts that are at all memorable, and going through the game, most of what you’re doing is not particularly interesting or exciting. They try to throw in some gags, but honestly, most of the areas are just kind of there and most of the environmental puzzles are straightforward enough that it just doesn’t sell the game to the player.

    All in all, Paper Mario: The Origami King is a game that is hard to have strong feelings about. It wasn’t bad to play, but at the same time, it was rarely actively good, with the strong parts interspersed with what was fundamentally filler levels that don’t challenge the player in a meaningful way. Only a few points did anything really clever, and the rest of it was just mildly clever at most.

    Alas, this makes it hard to recommend, though I wouldn’t say it is bad, either. It’s merely mediocre – and with so many good games out there, there’s a lot of better things you can do with your time and money.    … Expand

Mario and Luigi find an oddly angular Peach, who drops them into her dungeon. Mario, now alone, finds Olivia, the sister of King Olly who has turned many of the inhabitants into Origami. He wraps the castle up in some streamers and Mario and Olivia get away. This is the most emotionally compelling Mario game. Play it yourself to see what I mean.

    The gameplay is more action and puzzle based. When you do find an enemy, you battle it in a ring-like style. You’ll like the overworld more then the battles. The gameplay is good.

    They go all out with the paper theme. It’s no Luigi’s Mansion 3, but it looks very good. The locations look nice and are interesting, like Shogun Studios, which is a Japan-Styled theme park. The music is insanely good, a standout being the Shogun Studios theme.

    There is about 15 hours of story. I wouldn’t 100% it, as that may take very long.

    A criticism I have is that the characters don’t look interesting. A lot of people say they don’t like it, and I kind of know what they mean. If you’re interested, I’d recommend it. You’ll like it, trust me.    … Expand

The game itself is fun with lots to enjoy. It has very witty dialogue, probably the best in the series, and some truly memorable characters despite its limitations. The world is detailed and beautiful, probably one of the best looking games on the switch. The story itself is fine, with a few highlights coming from Bobby and in Bowser Castle, though I feel it would be a lot better if it took itself a tad more seriously. The gameplay itself is also fine, with fun overworld puzzles and a decent amount of exploration, but so often it feels like the developers are fighting against invisible restrictions placed onto the game for no real reason. It feels like so many areas could have been expanded and brought new life. Instead Mario assets we've seen a million times over make up most of the cast and I just can't get past that. The Ring Combat system is okay, but it does get old over time, especially on a second playthrough. I feel like this game is designed to only be played once and then to be left alone, on a second playthrough so much of the game simply doesn't have the impact it did the first time around, even if you wait over a year after its release. It's definitely a step in the right direction for the series and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a goofy RPG that isn't a major challenge.

    The game is about 20-25 hours to beat    … Expand

    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.
