Mario & Luigi: Brothership

Mario and Luigi literally create a thunderstorm to attack enemies. That is awesome!
 
IGN gave this game a 5/10

Apparently the game is too handholdy, the writing is poor, they changed Luigi's controls, one of the worst performing Switch games...

I'm not going to let one negative review ruin my experience. I haven't seen what makes it bad (no spoilers obviously!) and I want to wait until I 100% the game before I give my overall thoughts on it.

Additionally, performance issues usually get patched when the game actually releases, so they will all get ironed out hopefully. I'm still hyped for this, no matter what I hear!
 
It's subjective mate. Critics can give a review different than your own. Silly thing about the internet - when it comes a game they dislike, they'll scream "paid shill" and "woke / they always give positive reviews" when it comes to positive reviews, but when it comes to games they like, suddenly negative reviews are the great evil and dislike their favorite games makes 'em evil. I loved Mario Party Jamboree, but do I have any disdain for the reviews that gave it low scores? No, I move on. Critics don't exist to restate your opinions, and critic opinions differ as much as that of players.

Yeah, plus critics have been wrong before about at least a few things. There are movies that fans loved but the critics bashed every way that they could and some of those have been some of the greatest movies ever to the fans. Reminds me of how Star Wars (in 1977) got bad reviews (or a bad review) from at least one critic before it blew up. The FNAF movie was loved by fans but critics bashed it. What critics say about whether they think something is good or not is not always objective. And then there's been other films and TV shows that critics praised like the last three Star Wars sequel movies in the mid-2010s and 2020s that they said were the best thing ever and the fans were like "Nah, this sucks." 😆
 
Question for those who played the game...

According the wiki, Bowser is not the final boss in any form, but does Bowser:
  • Help to participate in the showdown against the final boss?
    • Could be similar to his role in Paper Mario: The Origami King where he takes a form to help to defeat the final boss?
    • Or maybe similar to Peach in Paper Mario 64 who doesn't participate in the final boss but is instrumental in their defeat?
  • Or, is he completely absent, like in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door?

Also...

Does Luigi have an entire chapter dedicated to rescuing Mario, like in Superstar Saga, Bowser's Inside Story, and Paper Jam?

Now that I think about it, I have to wonder if across the games, we had moments where Mario shined. There are many memorable moments for Luigi in the series (examples include finding a cure for Mario's illness in Superstar Saga, and him playing decoy in a Peach dress to lure the villains from the same game), and also for Mario & Luigi as a team.

Perhaps someone could list down examples on Mario (only Mario)'s shining moments? I would like to know.

Thank you for reading.
 
I've been hard at work on making a custom instruction manual for Mario And Luigi Brothership and I'd like to know what you all think! ^_^

Critics can only be wrong if you disagree with them, since they're literally just. Guys typing on Keyboards. The only time they have ever been correct is the time they praised Wario's inclusion as a playable character in Super Mario 64 DS.

That really reminds me-does anyone else here really miss the long bygone era of those big instruction manuals that used to come with games that told you about everything in the game and everything to do in the game and how to do it and the story of what's in the game, info about every single one of the game's enemies and bosses, etc? I miss that era. I think that era ended around 2007 or so because I noticed that's when Nintendo DS manuals started getting really short and only really outlining health and safety and the buttons and what they did and stuff, and just basic info about how to play the game. How boring.....😒
