Mario & Luigi: Brothership review - mostly clear skies


Our review of Mario & Luigi: Brothership, a lovely RPG that just lacks some of the brilliance of the earlier instalments.

You put your eye to the glass and then you move left and right to scan a glorious horizon drawn in sunny skies and churning ocean currents. There will be characters to meet and self-contained stories to coax to their conclusions, with puzzles that fit in thematically and set-pieces that feel truly joyous and shift the genre a little. I remember precision arpeggiated jumping just to get the brothers up staircases, and sequences in which I had to control both of them as we faced off against the ultimate foe: a skipping rope.
