Mario RPG remake. Actually my first time playing Mario RPG altogether, but I do really enjoy the first couple Paper Mario games, so seeing essentially where the Paper Mario series came from adds to the interest (IIRC, wasn't the original Paper Mario known as Mario RPG 2 in Japan at least for a while?). The game feels very short, I'm only a couple hours in and already three stars in, but given it was originally a SNES game it makes sense. It's cool to finally experience a game I was jealous of as a Genesis owner instead of SNES as a kid, even if it's not 100% to the original, though from what I understand it's quite a faithful remake, so still pretty close to the original experience.
As a big fan of the original, it's almost a perfect remake. You're getting the same experience we SNES kids did decades ago, but better.
