Following the close of AlphaDream, the Mario and Luigi journey was a little rough. But luckily, the series has been saved by the duo in the latest instalment! “The dynamic battle system makes the Mario & Luigi games feel distinct next to their more typical genre kin, but it does have a downside.”
Other reviews worth reading:
Slitterhead (7/10) “Similar to Siren, the Slitterhead plot can be inscrutable at times.”
Potionomics (8/10) “the changes and additions based on player feedback result in a markedly improved experience.”
Mouthwashing (9/10) “harrowing game with a surreal method of delivery that transcends the whole experience into something more akin to an art form.”
