As expected, reviews are all stellar. Currently sitting at 94 MC. (Should be higher with so many perfect scores
)
It's funny to see opinions on the comparisons of Mario games in the reviews. Guess it boils down to what people feel was the best 3D Mario. For me, Mario peaked with Galaxy 1 & 2, which allot of people did compare it to. But there are those that compare it to Odyssey too, which I found extremely dull and boring, so there's some salt there. (Some of the hats were neat, but the bosses were extremely unoriginal and felt very watered down when compared to prior 3D Mario games.)
It's crazy how polarizing it is between this and the bomba-ist of BOMBA, Concord. If this doesn't slap the industry in the face that people don't want bullshit, and just want fun games, maybe money and focus will be put elsewhere when it comes to creativity. For Sony's sake, I feared quite alot when they dissolved so much of their Japanese Studios down to this one, but like a forest fire, new life can begin fresh afterwards. It was a suicidal gamble in that aspect, IMO, but it seems it is starting to pay off. And as much as I adored Rescue Mission (and
still think is the greatest 3D platformer of all time, having yet to play AB), and wanted a PSVR2 follow up, it was much smarter for them to go this route initially.
I hope I can at least start it up tonight, but I'll be going all in tomorrow night for sure. So giddy!
