Mario & Luigi: Brothership Reviews
The brothers are as cute together as ever and their joint fighting is a highlight.
In "Mario & Luigi Brothership," the series makes a welcome return to form, with a harmonious blend of engaging presentation, humor, and character design that keeps players entertained. While the music and technical optimization leave something to be desired, the combat system is accessible and intuitive. However, the repitiveness makes some parts a bit tedious.

It took us some real adjustment to accept Mario & Luigi: Brothership for what it is, but once you do, there’s genuine enjoyment to be found here. You have to learn to follow its pace and accept its shortcomings, because it won’t change its ways and blossom into a top-tier Mario RPG. Still, the ride will be worth it for some to experience its bright points.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a great combination of Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario in a unique floating island world. Although it is a solo game, the RPG succeeds in preventing an inimitable co-op-like experience with a high variety in combat, puzzles and skill based challenges. Just one of the best Switch games in 2024 and a must have for any Mario fan.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership doesn’t disappoint as the first RPG in the series in nearly ten years. It is a charming adventure that fleshes out a wonderful new world to explore. It looks unlike anything we’ve seen from Nintendo with an impressive coat of cel-shaded paint. While the game might feel like a basic RPG in comparison to the modern greats, there’s a lot more to enjoy here.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership may not reinvent the series but it's yet another excellent adventure filled with over the top humour featuring the iconic Mario brothers.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership will keep you busy for dozens of hours, and the best way to enjoy it is to spend as much time as possible exploring every crevice and pipe.
