The first one is a decent game.
But it also went to $20 extremely fast. Pretty much by itself, that takes the pressure off of rushing to buy it.
- I pre-ordered the game.
  Then, very quickly, the full game + all DLC was available for $20. And I was annoyed, because the DLC itself barely went on sale at all. I sure as shit am not about to pay more for it, after overpaying in the first place. So what do I get? Zero DLC. Nice.
  I learned my lesson. I'm waiting for the sale on part 2. And on this new prince of persia game.
  
  Rule 1: Never pre-order
  
  /me cries in "Starlink: Battle for Atlas starter pack for Switch" at full price...
- The only Mario series that gets more than rare 33% discounts
- The second is a decent follow-up, too. There's some things I wish it hadn't changed while others I wish it had changed more, but honestly, I enjoyed playing it. A lot. Even the DLCs, though they are just more of the same and most will feel it's too samey at that point.
- Ubisoft games drop in value super fast
The first game was great but I got it at a steep discount. I have fully intended on getting the sequel but I wasn’t running out to get it at full price with so many games still in my backlog
Mario + rabbids had no right being as good as it was. It's cool its getting a bit more notice.
These people and their definition of "flop" perplexes me.
It is a great game
- I also enjoyed playing it.
Yeah cause I got it for $15. Was burned on the first title getting it for $60 then seeing it regularly for $10. I wised up this time.
I rarely buy games that still get DLC. Especially after the first one got a complete edition for 20,-. As far as I'm concerned, the game isn't 'released' properly yet. I sure am eager to play it though, eventually.
I'm currently playing it and loving it!
because it released in between Splatoon 3 and Pokemon Scarlet/Violet (and to a lesser extent, Bayonetta 3.)
Ubisoft did what EA did with Titanfall 2 (Titanfall 2 was released inbetween Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty Infinite Warfare.
it was primed to fail at the start., just to make "holiday targets"
- My heart breaks every time I'm reminded of how much EA dropped the ball with Titanfall 2 :(
  
  That timeframe was actually picked by Respawn higher ups. Jason Schrier mentioned it on his Twitter few years ago.
Rayman my beloved
Mario with guns though
And after UbiSoft's comments the other day, I'll be getting it on ebay.
I really liked the first one, never finished it though because it just kept going. Bit repetitive and other than the main gameplay I don't know what's going on.
- It’s supposed to be like XCOM, right? Is there a strategic element to it, or is the game only just the fights?
  
  No idea what XCOM is but yeah it's strategic, turn based combat. You get one movement and one attack per turn, and you can mix and match who you use of the three characters.
  Each have their own specialities and abilities. Definitely worth playing.
