There's only one way to do everything in this game and if you don't see it, you'll waste your time and feel stupid. Very archaic way of making games to modern day standards.

Everything feels built to frustrate. You move slow and battles are pointless. Some of the things the game makes you do feel like you have to look up online to figure out. This is a step back for the paper Mario franchise.

It's a blatant console port. The graphic options are bare bones. To scroll through them you hover your mouse at the top or bottom of the screen. They're not on steam because if they were, they'd be destroyed by the reviews.

When this game first came out I'd recommend it. But through nerfs and the release of the zubmariner dlc, this game is not balanced in the slightest. This game is for massochist that enjoy no progression or losing everything on chance. All the guides on making money no longer apply to this game. "But the game isn't bout makin money" ok you haven't played through the game with all the patches and rebalancing. The story and time I spent with the game was incredible when it came out. Now it's a gutted husk due to unrelenting grinding and even with all meta data at hand; is a masochists wet dream now.

It would be game of the year but the controls are sooooooo bad. I don't even have anything to compare it to bad. The bounty system is what you would expect from a ps1 gta game. One time I was standing still and got a bounty. For nothing, no reason at all. I started getting shot, I let it happen, more people started shooting me. Each one that joined shooting me added $5 to the bounty The amount of padding for time that's added because there's no fast travel is criminal. They made a 20 hour game into 40-60 hours because you have to take your horse everywhere. Each mission is rinse and repeat. 1. Take a 8 minute journey to get to camp. 2. Start the mission 3. Ride for 10 minutes to the objective at a snails pace talking about **** you already know 4. Shoot People. 5. You Win 6. Ride 5-8 Minutes to the train/buggy to get closer to camp 7. Ride 5-8 Minutes from where the train/buggy dropped you off back to camp 8. Repeat steps 2-7 It's a solid 5/10. Fix the controls or at least make them consistent it would be 8/10. It's the interactive medium. Fix the bounty system 9/10 Fix fast travel 10/10
