![]() Its design, story beats, and variety of wacky locales definitely reminded me of the few SNES games I have played. The Origami King is, at its heart, an adventure game. ![]() While we’re on the subject of moving to new areas, I feel I should bring this up here. I know that that feeling is true for most games (we always want to see what’s new) but this sense was heightened for me with The Origami King since it is such a pleasure to simply look at. I always relished moving on to a new area just to see what it looked like. Each one sports a new look and color palette. This was helped by the fact that Mario visits many different locales and areas during his journey in the Origami King. I liked looking at the game as much as playing it. I loved how all of the colors made the world pop. This gives the game a unique visual style and it is very beautiful to look at. Even the world and all of its environments are made of the stuff. In this world, Mario and all of its denizens are made out of paper. So, what is Paper Mario: The Origami King? Well, to keep it simple, it is the latest entry in the spinoff Paper Mario series. Before we do that, however, let’s take care of this battle first. Regardless of the reason, I’m so glad that Target didn’t have a copy of Ghost of Tsushima since I have discovered a new series to both play and review. I may have enjoyed it more because I haven’t played a Paper Mario game in the past. ![]() I don’t know what their problem is but I had an absolute blast with the game albeit with a few caveats. I have seen that a lot of people who are fans of the Paper Mario series were not happy with this latest entry. Faced with the prospect of playing nothing else, I said “Oh, what the hell” and grabbed a copy of The Origami King.Īnd, just so you’re aware, it was the best decision I made that night. ![]() Now, I had seen the surprise announcement trailer just a month before and liked what I had seen but I had never played a Paper Mario game before so I wasn’t exactly sold on it. Thus, I was left with the crushing disappointment of a wasted trip…or was I? As I was leaving the electronics section, I happened to spy Paper Mario: The Origami King on a display stand. Unfortunately for me, I had failed to look online to see if Target had any copies of Ghost of Tsushima. I grabbed my mask (not to rob the place, mind you, but my mask to “reduce the spread” as they say), jumped in my car, and headed for the place where white people hang out! Target had begun staying open until 10 pm once again. Even Walmart closed at 8:30, for God’s sake! I wasn’t going to make it to Wally World in time but I had a stroke of luck. I don’t know if you’ve heard but there’s a pandemic on and thus most stores were still closing early in mid-July here in the United States. Anyways, as I was saying, I decided that I needed to get a physical copy to have any chance of playing the game that night. If I had purchased either Ghost of Tsushima or Paper Mario: The Origami King online then I would still be waiting for them to download to this day. Most of you don’t know this but I have the same internet speeds as the cavemen of yore. I decided that the only way I had any chance whatsoever to play the game that evening was to buy a physical copy of the game. It was after eight o’clock and I decided that I wanted to try Ghost of Tsushima since I’ve always been fascinated by Japanese history and the samurai in particular. I was swiping through Twitter and saw that everyone was enjoying Ghost of Tsushima on the PS4 (it had released on the same day as Paper Mario). I was in one of those moods I talked about in my Catherine: Full Body video where I didn’t feel like doing anything. On the Saturday following the game’s release, I was sitting in my room after work doing nothing. I wasn’t even supposed to play The Origami King. You can find it here if you wish to watch it.
