    Enjoying the game so far, I'm on the second streamer only.
    But, good heavens, the battle system and I do not get on... don't like it at all!
    Just give me real time battles!

    I felt that the battles took up comparatively less time in my play through than other Paper Mario games even with re-visiting some areas and fighting everything I saw. A lot of them could be avoided too. I always had to remind myself that the battles weren't giving me experience, just coins and very occasionally items.

    The boss battles are a treat though, seeing tactics and techniques flip by and then settling on one that gets you as much as you can in as few moves. Only on the last streamer did I have to move the slices inward/outwards to get good results, before that it was all turning them counter/clockwise.

    I had to take a break at the last streamer area with about 25 hours on the clock.

    I couldn't put it down for an entire weekend, then the fatigue hit me. I just couldn't face another wander to find the dude who needs the thing to get to the other thing.

    Will come back to it this week after time time giving my AC island some TLC!

    Got this yesterday and played about the first three hours.

    Absolutely love it, great art style, very witty, battle system is so so.

    But a perfect game to dig into as a come down from The Last of Us Part 2.

    I've seen a few people online selling it for cheaper but you don't get the same guarantees as with buying from a shop. Base.com have it for 40 pounds but you're adding on postage there too (I bought it from them and love their service and speed but I'm selling on my copy).

    €48.99 in Argos and says it comes with a free gift but doesn't say what the gift is.

    Finished this last night. I rushed the end a bit, I was kinda over all the mini games and bosses by this point.

    Overall a very enjoyable game though, maybe in a few years I’ll replay it so going to hold on to the cart.

    Not much chance of me getting all the collectibles though, I think Nintendo have really Flanderised this aspect of their games. It doesn’t help that the in-game museum is slow to load rooms, saves when you exit each room and switching display panels has a slow animation.

    After initially not liking the game because of the whole fight structure I ebbed away at it when i had a spare hour or two ....in the end I found it a great game ...the "boss's" were enjoyably ridiculous .....just dig in to the inner child and enjoy

    I found it too hard to enjoy the battles, ended up avoiding them like the plague, kinda spoiled it for me.
    I was in that Ninja theme park level and got pissed off, so haven't gone back to it.
    If it had of had realtime battles or even a more traditional turn-based battle form I think I would have played it to completion, as it is I don't I will go back to it :(
