If you're looking for a return to the originals, you'll be disappointed – but only just. This is a worthy standalone title, and its story is great.

Origami King is a huge game created from dozens of small entertaining levels, missions and simple quests and other things to do. While still working with years-proofed mechanics, it is not afraid to bring out something new and fun.

I think it's an interesting idea but every so often there are fight where it's practically impossible to align the enemies in the short amount of time you have which is very infuriating. Also there is very little reason to fight enemies since all you get is coins which you also get in lots of different ways. It definitely lacks something and definitely drags down the score. Outside of combat the game is enjoyable and worth experiencing.

While Paper Mario: The Origami King makes excellent strides in terms of humor and adventure game design, it’s still sorely lacking aesthetically and features a horrendous battle system that only gets more frustrating as you play. I’ve given up on the series returning to the style of my childhood’s classics, but if the series ditches battles entirely it could make for some extremely fun adventure games.
