Forums > Submission Feedback > honestgamer's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate review

A lot of your thoughts and experiences with the Smash Bros franchise echo mine, and I admit to being curious about World of Light, being such a big fan of Subspace Emissary on Brawl. The promise of endless fun is a delight when you're a child, but I think it underscores one of the reasons we still review games.

So we can play them. :)

Look, the only time I'm not wrong is when I'm right, so...

Thanks for reading and commenting! I went a little more personal with this review than I usually like to, because I think it's important that readers know exactly where I was coming from with it, the better to understand how they might feel. It's a big game with a lot of moving pieces, so a more conventional approach didn't feel quite right. I'm glad you got through it all, because there was a lot to talk about and my review was also a little longer than normal.

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2

Single player mode of this game is so good, I haven't even been online yet. Mostly cause I'm not crazy about Nintendo's online service, but I guess I'll bite eventually. I kinda want to review this, but since I haven't touched online mode, and barely touched Smash mode, I think I'm not ready yet, despite having spent about 40 hours in the game already (most of them in World of Light)

I loved the various nods to classic games in World of Light. I'm addicted to collecting spirits.

I do like how there are 3 paths to character unlocking. I was able to get through it pretty quickly. Characters you unlock in World of Light, challengers approaching quite frequently just for playing any mode of the game, and then each run through a character's classic mode will end with a challenger.
