It’s actually a good game

I loved the first one, never did get the 2nd.
Might have to jump in

It’s one of those titles where I kept waiting for a good sale on the Gold Edition, like with the first one.
Finally happened last month, though it’s currently in my backlog pile.

Great game. Took me a while but I do like it better than the original, it keeps getting better IMO.

Isn’t this the final game with Martinet voicing Mario?

XCOM playstyle?

The overworlds improved a lot in this game from the hallways of Kingdom Battle. Now it’s a sandbox 3D map comparable to the ones in the 3D Mario games. And your party became more customizable, with each member getting significantly buffed from the previous game (Except Rabbid Luigi that feels unchanged and comparatively worse due to power creep) with the equippable Sparks becoming additional secondary skills and the added effects that were character specific in Kingdom Battle, which means you can give everyone what you think they need to patch their weaknesses making them OP.
The bad part however, is that the Enemy AI feels signficantly worse. Enemies used to team up and work together in Kingdom Battle and often surprise you with their manouvers. Here they feel so dumb and barely make any smart moves beyond what their gimmicks are. Combine that with the removal of Friendly Fire (Which means Rabbid Mario can just go loose and attack everything without consequences) and this game becomes significantly easier. Even on Hard I barely struggled to beat the game compared to the second half of Kingdom Battle that was quite the difficulty spike and made you really think your strategies.

I never played the first one. Does that make a difference?

Preferred the first one but this was good too.

I loved the first game but the second has too many versions at too many price points, making it super confusing what you’re buying

This game is way too easy, they give you too many overpowered abilities and enemies are dumb. The only way to give yourself a challenge is willfully not use the most powerful abilities and sparks. First game is way better in this regard, way more balanced and difficult just enough for you to overcome frustrations. I beat both but only first one draws me back to replay it.

Absolutely loved this game and hope they’re making a third.

As I read this title I began to get excited, then I saw Mario & Rabbids. I love the first game, but once I got to the ghosts that teleport around I rage quit.

Do you get to keep it forever?

No thanks

Just finished this last week. The first game I liked 9/10 this one I sort of just rushed the main story. I disliked the changes to some of the combat and characters, dislike that you don’t get new weapons or gear anymore and it lost a lot of charm moving away from the mushroom kingdom.
It’s okay, but probably a 6/10 for me. I paid $30 and was okay with that price

I remember enjoying the hour or so I played of the first game, this trial is a lovely surprise! Time to see what I’ve been missing in the sequel

This game has been in my backlog for a while, so I need to finally play it before all the big releases in the fall!

Time for me to speedrun through a 7-day free NSO trial.

What kind of game is this?

Damn, Ubisoft has been more desperate than ever. Week-long free trials of this game, week-long free trials of Skull & Bones, permanent trial of the first 6 chapters of Far Cry 6, etc.
