I would recommend this game to anyone that has enjoyed a Paper Mario game in the past, or anyone who is simply looking for a thoroughly hilarious title with a keen sense of style. It is family-friendly (reading comprehension is a must), but would really have quite a bit to offer to a player of any age. I genuinely don't think I've played a funnier game, though of course the visuals are beautiful and the environments are quite unique. The one point of controversy is the battle mechanic, since it retains the turn-based style of past titles but swaps in limited cards, achieved through an in-game shop or discovery in the environment (just to be clear, the shop uses in-game currency - no microtransactions here). Some have decried this battle system, but I found that the tactile aspect of using the Gamepad to scroll through the cards and fling them "to the screen" for use in battle kept me engaged with the action. Difficulty is not high for completion of the main story, but as with many Nintendo titles, there are other rewards for players interested in going the extra mile and exploring their environment/collecting all of the cards. There's too much to talk about in a short review, but I'd say that you'll certainly get your money's worth if you're looking for a whimsical, beautiful RPG on the Wii U.
