Хорошая игра, вызвала многие эмоции.

Story: Legend tells of a plant called the Everlasting Sapling, whose power can give someone everlasting life. The first queen of the kingdom of Bugaria wanted this plant but when she failed, her daughter established the explorers guild which attracted bugs from all over with the primary goal being to find the sapling. And that includes our heroes Team Snakemouth: Kabbu, Vi and Leif. This is clearly more of an adventure story than anything else. Sure the main party is great with the noble and kind Kabbu, the bratty and energetic Vi, and the blunt but oddly affectionate Leif. And sure, they get some time in the spotlight but all of their arcs are resolved in side content with Leif being the worst example. Leif is found halfway through chapter 1 and admits later that when before he was trapped, the first queen was in charge. And what happened to him is a big mystery up to chapter 4 when they find a key to an optional dungeon and the rest is resolved there. Don’t get me wrong, I like Lefi and how his story end but aside from getting the artifacts to find the sapling, his mystery was one of the driving plotlines of the game. Until Chapter 5, the story was kind of episodic with the team going to a new location and explore till you find what you came for. But there is another plot thread going on and that's the increase attack by the wasps. I heard a few reviews upset of the main villains lack of screen time. But after playing Rage, I appreciate these guys more as they are an active threat, trying to get the sapling before you Gameplay Confession, I never played Paper Mario. Only Mario RPGs I played were the M&L game the the remake of Mario RPG. So this is my only proper exposure to this gameplay style. So we got three party members, each with their skills and advantages like Kabbu can ignore armour and flip certain enemies. Vi can bring down flying enemies and has kills that can multi hit. And Leif can bring out buried enemies and can freeze them with his skills. Now I’m mixed on the leveling system. On hand it’s a bit interesting that you don’t really get stronger in the normal sense, you just increase either health team point or medal points each level up. So it’s more about surviving and getting to use your skills more. However, I do find it annoying when I get more health and TP and I still feel either too weak or ill equipped, especially enemies with gimmicks like the leafbugs whose next attack increases when you hit their buddies. And it’s not cause I was hoarding items cause with the limited inventory for both you and the storage, the game wants you to use items. And that is why I don’t use the Hard Mode medal for common enemies after the first chapter since the enemies took to long to beat and drained me of most of my health. Yes, there’s blocking but it felt like I was still loosing too much health. So I only used the hard mode medal for bosses and those were good on hard mode. Not only do you get a special reward for beating them for free but the fights felt like a proper challenge. Like when I beat the final boss on hard, I gave a small “yes” knowing I beat him after a brutal fight. Anything else: there’s a decent fast travel system. You can go to chefs to make some good health items and even bombs. Some decent mini games like the card game or the arcade games but I didn’t like the fishing. There’s the super secret party member who can only attack but good for at least some damage per round. The camera can suck at times when you want Leif to make ice platforms facing away from it since you can’t see where you are when you summon them. Presentation: You could argue why the devs wanted to use the Paper Mario art style for any reason. But I do like the art style overall, especially with character art like how Leif’s wings are use as a cloak, the leaf bugs who look like they are made of leafs, all the cute bee NPCS and the big burly fly to point out a few. I also like the general world design. Sure you have a few towns like the underground city or the hive, but there’s a desert, a forest, an ocean etc. You know the usual themes. But there’s a spot in the hive where you can view a telescope and see the entire game world where that desert was a sandbox, the forest was just some overgrown grass and the ocean was just a puddle. I just think that’s neat. As for the music, I bought the soundtrack so it’s good enough to buy. With my favourites being all the town themes, the Golden hills, the far grasslands, the honey factory and all the battle themes. Verdict: Never played Paper Mario and I can say I had a good time. 7/10

Super cute! I was never able to play any of the Paper Mario games when I was younger, so this was a somewhat new but very enjoyable experience to me! No lag issues or super game-breaking glitches from what I've seen.

Hermoso Juego weon con maravillosa historia UWU

Paper Mario like that has good music, fun characters and a good story. Don't let the cartoon graphics fool you, this game is worth a buy, specially if on sale!
