Paper Mario: The Origami King is a wonderful new entry that helps sell the idea that trying new things was the right move. While the series has had some ups and downs, Origami King nails the mix of enjoyable combat and fun gameplay. It would be nice if there was a little bit more depth to the story, but there’s enough to make everything fun and lighthearted while occasionally having dynamic story moments...

King Olly has invaded the Mushroom Kingdom and has folded its denizens into origami monstrosities. Now it’s up to Mario to save the day.
