Super Mario Maker 2 | Sep 18, 2019 | 150:00hrs | rating: 3/5
Mario Maker again, this time with slopes!
GAMEPLAY: It’s really great, and it’s addicting to work on your level and get everything just the way you like it.
AUDIOVISUALLY: Each style looks as it should, although I would have liked more game styles, and the possibility to mix them! Music is a bit limited, would have liked to choose from a long list.
STORY/PRESENTATION: There’s a “story mode” this time, but it’s quite boring and simple. I finished building the castle, but struggled to get through all the Nintendo-built levels.
MULTIPLAYER: The big disappointment of the year. Multiplayer was supposed to be the big new addition to the game, but it’s nearly worthless. Have to download the levels before playing local co-op, there’s no local VS at all, and there’s no online VS or co-op with friends. This honestly sucks!
Despite putting so many hours into it, I can’t help but being extremely disappointed. Like, how can an indie game like Duck Game have more in-depth multiplayer and a more detailed level editor than a Nintendo flagship game?!
