GamesRadar+Sam LoveridgeJul 20204.5/5 starsPaper Mario: The Origami King is fun, light-hearted and a celebration of Super Mario with a strong story, great humour and brilliant characters.

God is a GeekAdam CookJul 20209/10A creative triumph, with new ideas that last the entire game, some of the best boss battles in ages, and praiseworthy presentation. Paper Mario: The Origami King is only let down by some of the general combat being a bit skippable.

Niche GamerBrandon LyttleJul 20205/10Players wanting to re-experience a Mario RPG will be sorely disappointed by Paper Mario: The Origami King. But players who want a light-hearted and laidback adventure game are in for a good time. Albeit, one that doesn’t quite justify the game’s price tag.

GamingTrendDavid FlynnJul 202055/100While Paper Mario: The Origami King makes excellent strides in terms of humor and adventure game design, it's still sorely lacking aesthetically and features a horrendous battle system that only gets more frustrating as you play. I've given up on the series returning to the style of my childhood's classics, but if the series ditches battles entirely it could make for some extremely fun adventure games.
