it’s good, there’s a fast-forward button so you can power through some of the more repetitive yapping. The combat is great and the animations are gorgeous. This is the best looking Mario and Luigi have ever been, it’s like the M&L concept art just came to life. Really impressive stuff. I like the idea of doing side quests and stuff as your ship moves from island to island, at least in theory so far. Don't like the lack of variety in enemy types per island but I guess that helps memorization haha I like doubling down on specializations now. I used to try to cover bases but Mario is getting all the speed beans babyyyy Love they took out stat roulette I don't NEED that shit it's so annoying i really like plugs, i thought i'd dislike the cooldowns but the fact that they happen unequipped means you can just constantly swap them out the more you collect. the story is significantly more interesting than i expected. i also like the idea of the boat going around finding more islands as you do sidequests and stuff (and i also like that there are sidequests, very few and unmarked in previous M&L games). also like how unique the equipment can get, like boots that do more damage on aerial enemies and stuff. i might take my switch with me on my SF trip to keep playing
