Same Brothers, New Adventure - Mario & Luigi Brothership Review

 

After 9 years of the series' absence, the Mario & Luigi series is back on the Switch with its sixth installment: Mario & Luigi: Brothership. It marks a thrilling conclusion to what could be called the revival of the Mario RPGs. Remakes of the beloved Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door showed a renewed interest in the series, and now, with a brand new Mario & Luigi title, it feels as if the Mario RPGs are back.

But this isn't about the Mario RPGs, this is about one game, and one game alone. After spending months playing through it, with a final playtime over 45 hours, I have completed Mario & Luigi Brothership. It has been wonderful to play a new Mario & Luigi, and I have had so many thoughts swirling through my mind since I first started it. So, let's get into it, how did this long awaited installment fare, how does it compare to previous titles, and what do I think of it overall? Head on below for my spoiler free review of the game:

My Top 15 Games of 2024 (part 1)

It is time for my annual post discussing all the games I've played this year, ranking them, and reflecting on the year in general.

I will continue to be busy during the first half of 2025, but I'd like to at least make this post, as I was surprised to find I had played 15 games in 2024. With such a neat number, please enjoy this look back at the video games I played in 2024. Spoiler, I didn't play any of the games in the image above, so they won't be here, sorry!
