Quality RPG, went in just expecting a game that might fill that Paper Mario shaped void, but the game was much more than that, being very interesting and charming in its own right. The combat system adds new mechanics which make battles more interesting and engaging, but don't overcomplicate fights either, yet also they bring back the type of level up and badge systems from the classic Paper Mario style which are simple, but fun and interesting.
Plus, you can play the game on hard or normal difficulty, and the hard difficulty doesn't just make the game arbitrarily harder, it gives you more exp but makes the enemies tougher and gives them new attacks, too. Plus, you can toggle difficulty at any point, if you want to see if hard mode is for you or not.
Overall, a really enjoyable and well made game from start to finish, would recommend whether you liked the old Paper Mario games or not.
