Day 398 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Today's game is some more Mario Kart World. I think i've changed my opinion on this, because fuck. After playing through all the Grand Prix and just fucking around in the Open World, i think this might just be tied for my favorite Mario Kart. It has it's flaws definitely and i don't think it's the console pusher nintendo thinks it is. Namely the price tag is too high, the Open World has a lack of content in some places i feel like (and a lack of splitscreen multiplayer), and i think it's definitely a little to complex to be a "family game" if that makes sense (my siblings asked me to play with them and they struggled to grasp anything outside of the basic "Here's course 1, here's course 2). But damn, did i have fun after finally being able to get a night's rest and play it.

The open world, despite the flaws, is so much fun to dick around in. I spent a good hour just driving around crashing into shit and messing with the photo mode. Namely with Waluigi, something about the way he strikes his poses is hilarious to me.

Crown City has got to be one of my favorite courses, among the one that looks like Venice and good ol' DK Pass. I just like driving around in it, it's got some vibes i love and has the highest numbers of cars for me to crash into.

Overall, i think this game just needed some time to grow on me. And i'm glad i didn't just brush it off as "It's Mario Kart again" like i initially did. It was a blast playing through it, and despite seeing most of what it has to offer in well under 10 hours, i don't want to move on yet. It's exciting.
