ninkendo 01/21/21 10:35:50 PM #52:	SPOILERS COMING UP IN THIS ONE Top 10 Favorite Games of 2020 #7. Paper Mario: The Origami King They finally made Paper Mario good again! Yeah sure it's still not that old battle system so purists probably still can't bring themselves to play it, but I had a blast with this game from beginning to end. The puzzle based battle system makes battles quick and easy (and totally skippable for normal encounters if you really want to get somewhere), but it really shines during the boss battles. It manages to make entertaining and engaging boss against against generic office equipment like staplers and scissors. The true gem here is that it nails the humor with a good story and some great characters and moments. The biggest and most hard hitting of which is the story arc of Bobby. Once you move to the 2nd major area of the game you come across an amnesiac bob-omb who joins your party. He's a bit of doof and unreliable, but he accompanies you for most of the 1st half of the game. At some point your origami princess, Olivia, gets trapped under a boulder and it blocks your progress forward. This kicks off an entire side story where Bobby starts to regain his memories and has you traveling the open ocean to a haunted cruise ship to regain his missing fuse that was left to him by his friend. A bob-ombs true purpose is to live a short life and go out with a bang and hope they made a difference. Bobby does exactly that and blows himself up to destroy the boulder and free Olivia and clear your way forward to the next area. It's an extremely sad moment that's made even sadder after Olivia realizes what has happened. It's a shocking moment for a Mario game and one I'll never forget any time soon. Also Luigi's constant running gag the entire game to try to find the key to Peach's Castle is incredible. This is a must play game IMHO. --- https://imgtc.com/i/iJnhdkc.gif https://imgtc.com/i/j45EVGx.png <cite>ninkendo posted [p:949773945] in SHINE's Fa...
