Arlo needs to review this damned game already.




I haven't beaten the game yet, so I'll update the review after.

Bug Fables' mission is to fill in that Paper Mario void. The first impressions of the game will satisfy this void, whereas the hours to follow really make the game feel like a distant spiritual successor with its own totally unique identity. To the reviews saying "If you like Paper Mario, you'll like this game", I would say don't limit this game to that frame of mind. This game is quite unique, with a variety of mechanics. If you play on hard mode, there is a strong amount of strategy that takes place. If you die to a boss, you are given the option to retry the fight after modifying your badge loadout. In this game, badge effects are incredibly varied and allow for many countless ways to take on a boss. You can face a boss and get absolutely obliterated, learn how the boss fights, then change your loadout accordingly in order to then do the wrecking.
There are bosses that I have faced at approx 10 levels lower than what is the average (based on what I've seen from online gameplay), that I have been able to beat after optimizing my badge strategy and exhausting my options.

Hard recommend. This game is its own thing. I've been following it for months up to release. All the reviews are positive for a reason.
