Critic Reviews

CGMagazine - Jordan Biordi - 9 / 10

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is an excellent remake of an excellent game with enough modern additions to make it feel fresh and new.

COGconnected - James Paley - 90 / 100

Thousand Year Door is a remake done right. The new sound and visuals look terrific. The game’s essential identity has been preserved. Plus, the original release is able to shine through with no distractions. It’s exactly as wonderful as you remember it being. I’m still impressed with the writing, and the level design is mostly excellent. I still hate the tournament arc, though. And I wish some of the puzzles didn’t involve scouring a dungeon until a forgotten button or door is dragged into the sunlight. Although the original release is amazing, it’s also nearly impossible to play anymore. For new and old fans, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is an essential addition to the Nintendo Switch library.

Checkpoint Gaming - Edie W-K - 9.5 / 10

Nostalgia goggles haven't failed us: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is still a masterpiece. With vastly improved graphics, a great rearranged soundtrack, and a few tasteful gameplay touchups, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for Nintendo Switch is now the best version of this fan-favourite classic. The only thing missing is extra content for those who have already played it, but for everyone else, there's no reason not to pick this one up.

ComicBook.com - Marc Deschamps - 4.5 / 5

All in all, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is an easy recommendation. For those that never got a chance to play the original game, there's no better time than the present, and the Nintendo Switch version is easily the best way to play it.

Console Creatures - Bobby Pashalidis - Recommended

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is a masterpiece that continues to enchant nearly two decades after its initial release.

Daily Mirror - Scott McCrae - 4 / 5

Though Hellblade 2 has the power to force your jaw open and give you goosebumps, too often the whole project ends up feeling like a very expensive tech demo – an absolute tour de force of technical achievement bogged down in its own sense of gravitas and mystery. Keeping you off the stick for so many of its most impactful moments, and not giving you enough to play with when you do have control, hobbles the potential of this visual and aural masterpiece enough to make the whole experience feel like it was constantly trying to find a foothold on that dread Icelandic scree, and never really getting to its feet until you come staggering over the finish line.

Daily Star - Tom Hutchison - 4.5 / 5

Overall a beautiful looking game, one that feels fresh and in-keeping with recent modern Mario efforts.

Digital Trends - Tomas Franzese - 4.5 / 5

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door stands the test of time and is fantastic on Nintendo Switch.

Digitec Magazine - Domagoj Belancic - German - 4 / 5

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is a classic Mario role-playing game that every fan of the chubby plumber should play. If you've already played the original, it's worth taking another trip into this paper world thanks to the completely revamped graphics and soundtrack.
The simplified role-playing mechanics and the interactivity of the turn-based battles make the game accessible even to beginners and players who don't usually like RPGs. The numerous environments impress with their quirky humor, excellently written characters and a beautiful paper look. What I didn't like were the annoying backtracking passages and some tedious mechanics. They unnecessarily slow down the pace as the game progresses.

Enternity.gr - Nikitas Kavouklis - Greek - 10 / 10

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is a magical combination of parameters that make this title must have!

GAMES.CH - Benjamin Braun - German - 87%

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is still a great mixture of RPG and platformer with fine papercraft graphics and humorous story. But in terms of content, the visually advanced Switch version delivers nothing new for dye connoisseurs of the GameCube original, which makes it less interesting for them as for players who experience the remastered version for the first time.

Game Informer - Kyle Hilliard - 8.3 / 10

Thousand-Year Door is now a series highlight. It marks the first instance of where I didn’t want a Mario RPG to go (I generally prefer the Mario & Luigi direction), but the constant fourth-wall breaking, myriad colorful and unique characters, and its willingness to just be weird all lead to a joyful journey.

Glitched Africa - Marco Cocomello - 9 / 10

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Remake is wonderfully crafted for modern hardware while still capturing the magic and love of the original 20-year-old game. There’s a reason this is a cult classic and now everyone can enjoy it.

God is a Geek - Adam Cook - 10 / 10

Whether you're replaying for the new visuals, or a very lucky first-time player, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is one of the best RPGs ever to come out of Nintendo.

IGN - Logan Plant - 9 / 10

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is an amazingly loyal and visually dazzling remake of a treasured RPG, and the improvements made throughout easily make this the definitive way to experience Mario’s unforgettable quest.

Nintendo Life - Alana Hagues - 9 / 10

For 20 years, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door has been held as the best Mario RPG of all time, and the Switch remake proves it has earned that title. This is a fantastic RPG adventure, whether you're a Mario fan or not, with some best-in-class combat, brilliant writing, and a few little creases ironed out to make this the definitive way to play Thousand-Year Door. We wish there was a little more to do post-credits, but there's no doubt about it, this is a beautiful-looking Switch remake and a must-play RPG.

Nintendo News - 9 / 10

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for Nintendo Switch improves upon the GameCube classic in almost every way; not just with its impressive graphical overhaul, but with plenty of quality-of-life changes and additional content too. As long as you can handle some occasional backtracking and a reduced frame-rate of 30fps, this is undoubtedly the ultimate Paper Mario RPG experience. Mario games usually put the narrative to the wayside to focus on having fun and engaging gameplay, but The Thousand-Year Door manages to do both and succeeds at it in such a way that still hasn’t been topped 20 years later.

Press Start - James Mitchell - 9.5 / 10

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year-Door is a masterful remake that improves on the original in practically every way while keeping everything that made it a mainstay in the Nintendo canon. While its timelessness is reflected in the strength of its humour, wit and story, a major visual overhaul and much needed quality of life improvements make The Thousand-Year Door an adventure that can't be skipped.

SECTOR.sk - Michal Korec - Slovak - 8.5 / 10

It is not a full-blown remake with overhauled graphics or new episodes. But deep within lies truly one of the best parts of the series to be enjoyed even 20 years later with excellent gameplay, sharp-wit writing and funny dialogues for long evenings or short bursts.

Saudi Gamer - Arabic - 9 / 10

Behind its vibrant and cheerful appearance hides a great battle system and a memorable cast of characters and events in a world brimming with content. Just be aware that some patience is required to enjoy the ride fully.

Spaziogames - Gianluca Arena - Italian - 8.2 / 10

The Switch version of Paper Mario and the Thousand-year door is a rare delight, just like the GameCube one before it: it's a funny and clever mix between a turn based RPG and a platform game, full of jokes and memorable characters. The price might be a little bit steep and the frame rate is halved if compared to the original, but it's still worth to dip your toes into it even twenty years later.

Stevivor - Ben Salter - 9 / 10

The Thousand-Year Door remake is a triumphant return for Paper Mario. It turns back to an earlier chapter in the series that knows exactly what it’s trying to achieve and does it masterfully.

TheGamer - Ben Sledge - 4 / 5

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door will probably be the last Mario game to release (solely) on the Switch. While Wonder will take the plaudits, porting this cult classic means that a new generation of players can experience it. New fans will have a ball, laughing along with Mario & co., even if their experience will be slightly marred by the backtracking and pacing. Old fans will enjoy the quality of life improvements and some new additions. Whether you’re a Paper Mario veteran or this is your first time entering his origami world, this is the definitive way to experience The Thousand-Year Door.

TheSixthAxis - Stefan L - 9 / 10

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is a wonderful remake of a GameCube classic. Now in a modern game engine, but with all the quirkiness and charm of the original story and characters, and with a return to the original Paper Mario combat style, it's great for Mario RPG fans and newcomers alike.

TrustedReviews - By Ryan Jones - 4.5 / 5

Quote not yet available

Twinfinite - Luke Hinton - 4 / 5

While I wasn’t there for the original, I now completely get just why Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is so revered among Mario fans, and why demands for a remaster were practically ceaseless. It’s the absolute pinnacle of Mario RPGs, and if it was a bit more focused as an overall narrative experience, in the discussion as one of the plumber’s best-ever games.

VGC - Andy Robinson - 5 / 5

Alongside last year’s excellent Super Mario RPG remake, The Thousand-Year Door is one of the very best Mario spin-offs on Nintendo Switch, whether you’re an old fan or discovering it for the first time.

Video Chums - Mary Billington - 9 / 10

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is a classic RPG with a perfect blend of turn-based combat and adventuring complete with a rewarding unlockable abilities system that encourages you to explore every nook and cranny. Plus, its updated graphics, hilarious humour, and welcome gameplay improvements make it more accessible than ever. 🚪

Wccftech - Nathan Birch - 8 / 10

While the new Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door preserves the gonzo charm that made the original game a cult classic, not a lot has been done to deal with its padding and other design quirks. If you’re a hardcore Thousand-Year Door fan, worry not, you’re going to love this spiffy new version. If you’re new to the game or weren’t entirely sold the first time around, you’re still likely to find plenty to enjoy here, but you may also notice a few tattered edges.

I've been doing almost the same routine for over a year now, and while I'm fairly happy with it, I want to see if I am missing out on any easy upgrades. I started with basic/drug store brands, but I can afford to splurge a bit. If I do, I want it to be worth it. What are some upgrades or additions that are totally worth it?
Current routine:
AM - Vitamin C Ferulic Acid (Evelyn Laurent), CeraVe AM, Etude sunscreen
PM - Paula's choice BHA (newly added, seems fine), CeraVe skin renewing Retinol Serum, Cos De Baha Tranexamic Acid Niacinamide, CeraVe PM, and Aquaphor a couple days a week.
F40, normal to dry skin. Looking to focus on hyperpigmentation and anti-aging. Thanks!

Je fais ce poste pour répondre en partie aux questions, remarques, arguments qu’on pourrait avoir à propos du véganisme. Si vous avez d'autres opinions.
Les avocats, ça pollue aussi beaucoup. Oui, c’est vrai qu’il y a des fruits ou des légumes qui polluent plus que d’autres ou qui ont besoin de beaucoup d’eau. Mais la consommation des fruits/légumes n'est pas exclusive au régime alimentaire vegan et c’est totalement fallacieux d’imputer toutes les externalités de la consommation d’avocat uniquement aux végétaliens.
Le soja est ce qui provoque en grande partie la déforestation en Amazonie. C’est totalement vrai mais il faut faire la distinction entre le soja utilisé à la consommation humaine et celui à la consommation animale (tourteaux de soja). Dans la quasi exclusivité c’est la production de tourteaux de soja qui provoque la déforestation, c’est pourquoi on voit souvent le raccourci “L’élevage provoque la déforestation” mais ça ne veut pas dire qu’on coupe des arbres pour faire des prairies ou des vaches-qui-rit vont gambader.
Les légumes aussi sont des êtres vivants. Oui mais ils ne disposent pas de terminaisons nerveuses, ne ressentent pas la douleur.
L’homme est omnivore. Oui, l’homme est en capacité de digérer les légumes, les fruits et la viande. Mais certaines personnes ont fait le choix de ne plus manger de viande car on peut maintenant s’en passer dans la majorité des cas.
Le veganisme provoque des carences. La seule carence provoquée par l’absence de viande est la vitamine B12 qui n’existe qu’en très petite quantité à l’état naturel. Mais on est capable de la synthétiser et de l’assimiler avec des compléments. Attention car une carence en B12 peut provoquer de très gros problèmes de santé irréversibles. D’autres carences peuvent apparaître comme le Fer (mieux assimilé quand on mange de la viande) ou des Omega3 présents dans les poissons gras. Il est recommandé (indispensable ?) de faire des bilans sanguins réguliers même si on consomme encore des œufs et du lait pour les non-vegans. Même pour tout le monde en fait ça ferait pas de mal, et certains pourraient se rendre compte que beaucoup d’omnivores sont carencés eux-aussi.
Tu fais quoi si tu te retrouves tout seul sur une île déserte avec juste un cochon, tu le manges ou pas ? Eh bah je ne sais pas, on verra le jour où ça arrivera.
T’es vegan mais tu prends l’avion et tu ne manges pas bio. On peut être vegan mais pas écolo. On peut aussi être les 3 en même temps, y' a pas de manuel du parfait petit vegan. Mais c’est vrai que le vegan, le végé place sa sensibilité sur certains sujets plus loin que la norme. A travers ce référentiel, la communauté peut se sentir plus vertueuse que ceux qui ne font pas d’effort et d’où cet état de colère permanent de ceux qui estiment que les autres n’en font pas assez, et de ceux qui se sentent culpabilisés par des remarques.
La consommation de viande n'est pas excessive en France. Non, par exemple, l’Allemagne recommande de manger 140g de viande par… Semaine.
Consommer vegan c’est cher. Oui et non, les simili sont chers généralement (pas toujours et je trouve que la viande rattrape les prix des simili à cause de l’inflation) et à consommer de préférence avec modération car ce sont des produit ultra-transformés (bien que souvent la liste des ingrédients soit plus clean et moins longue).
Pourquoi les produits simili cherchent à imiter l’aspect et le goût de la viande ? Les personnes qui ont été élevées dans un régime carné mais qui sont devenu végé ou vegan, généralement elles ne sont pas devenues végé par dégoût de la viande mais sont sensibles à d’autres choses. Pouvoir retrouver le goût, pouvoir reproduire des recettes en les “veganisant” sans changer la recette mais juste changer le produit, c’est quand même ultra pratique.
La viande c'est bon pour la santé. Des études ont prouvé que la viande de bœuf ultra transformée est cancérigène. Manger excessivement un même aliment est de toute façon une mauvaise approche : tout est poison, c’est le dosage qui fait.
Pourquoi appeler “steak” / “saucisse” / “lait” des produits végétaux ? Honnêtement je m’en fiche personnellement. Je ne me suis jamais trompé (et c’est rarement le même rayon en magasin). Je crois que les lobbys de la viande prennent vraiment les consommateurs pour des débiles en disant que “les gens pourraient se tromper”. Vous avez déjà mis du lait démaquillant dans votre café ? Vous avez déjà croqué dans un fruit de mer pensant que c’était une pomme vous ? Par contre à l’inverse, je me suis déjà fait avoir avec la dénomination inverse, du “Jambon végétal” où on s’est rendu compte qu’il y avait de l'œuf dans la composition. Utiliser des noms “communs” que tout le monde connaît, ça peut avoir un impact sur la décision ou pas de sauter le pas d’une alimentation végétale. De pouvoir se dire “ok, en fait c’est possible je peux quand même manger de la purée / jambon comme quand j’étais petit tout en étant végé”.
Les vegans sont des extrémistes, vous voulez nous obliger. Si tu écris ce message après avoir atterri sur un sub Vegan, un compte instagram Vegan, un site internet vegan, alors je crois que tu es obligé à rien d'autre que passer ton chemin. Honnêtement, compte le nombre de troll dans les commentaires de publi Vegan "Hummm miamiam la viande c trop bon" c'est ridicule. Aucun végan n'attache personne à une chaise pour forcer à manger du Tofu.
Moi je viens pour débattre et je me fais rembarrer, ça dessert la cause. Pour toi c'est peut-être l'occasion de débattre, mais pour le vegan / végétarien c'est peut-être la Xème fois de la semaine qu'il doit débattre, justifier ses choix et expliquer ce qu'il met dans son assiette. Toi tu arrives pour débattre, d'autres arrivent pour juger ou troller, il faut pas être surpris quand l'interlocuteur se met sur la défensive.
Le lion mange de la viande, c'est comme ça la nature. L'appel à la nature n'est pas vraiment ce qu'on peut appeler un bon argument. Oui le lion mange de la viande, et alors ? T'es un lion peut-être ? T'arrives à te lécher les parties génitales avec la langue ? Tu chasses la gazelle au supermarché ? L'homme peut manger de tout (omnivore), mais certains font le choix de ne pas manger de viande. C'est pas parce qu'on peut le faire qu'on doit le faire.
Toutes les remarques c'est des arguments que j'ai lu / vu un peu partout. Si vous n'êtes pas d'accord avec un ou plusieurs points, vous avez le droit. Juste soyez cool dans vos échanges.

Planning a backpacking trip up the coast, 2-3 weeks travel time. Chill vibes and good food, culture, good people, maybe some surf, and safe for a solo female traveller.
