Bug Fables, well worth the time and money!

General
So let me start by saying yes Bug Fables is basically Paper Mario with bugs, specifically Paper Mario 64 and Paper Mario The Thousand-Year Door.
I personally have played through Paper Mario 64 and Paper Mario The Thousand-Year Door but I am not the biggest fan of them. Even as far as Mario RPG's are concerned I like "Super Mario RPG on the SNES" and "Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga" much more. I say this to make a point, I may not enjoy them GREATLY, but Bug Fables on the other hand I enjoyed immensely, meaning it must have done something better.
I had watched
kifstopher play through Bug Fables and wasn't terribly impressed with the game. But when it came out for the Switch I decided to go ahead and give it a try. I was quite surprised by just how much I have enjoyed playing through Bug Fables, even to near 100% completion. 2 very lengthy enemy/boss gauntlets elude me...
What makes Bug Fables so good to me is that it fixes a LOT of issues I had with Paper Mario.
*No need to worry about swapping out partners.
*Not very much busy work or events ruining the flow. (General White can die in a pit of fire.)
*Dialogue can be sped up if need be.
*If you game over during a boss you can select to start the battle over from the beginning thus skipping pre boss cutscenes.
*There is an easy to get to and CONVENIENT fast travel area.
There are likely other things but I cannot think of them. =P
I have put about 50 hours into this game and I didn't have many moments where I did not enjoy myself. Every session I played I ended very satisfied with what I had accomplished.
So in short, if you like Paper Mario 64 and Paper Mario The Thousand-Year Door I HIGHLY recommend buying Bug Fables on your platform of choice. You may not regret it. =3

But now I want More BUG FABLES. I actually like Bug Fables more than Paper Mario which is crazy to me, it took what I loved about the first 2 games and IMPROVED them. This has quickly became one of my most favorite games of all time! If I didnt like bugs before, I sure love them now!
Bless Moonsprout Games for being the best thing I got out of 2020.
But yeah, seriously great game~
