ComingSoon's Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope review explains how this tactical title is a great follow-up to its surprising predecessor.
was a total surprise and one of Ubisoft’s best and most creative games from the last couple decades. It’s a fantastic foundation to work from, but a tough act for, its sequel, to follow because its quality is no longer as shocking. That novelty was a key part of its appeal and even thoughis slightly inferior in that regard, it’s a great follow-up that builds upon its predecessor’s gripping tactical gameplay.
However, it seems as though Ubisoft has tried to compensate for this power creep by ratcheting up everyone’s health around 10 times what they had in the last game. Enemies are often left with less than a percent of life after a barrage, meaning players have to waste one more full attack to knock out that last pixel.
Ubisoft even turns harder into its own original lore by trying to tell a more cohesive story within this universe. Normally, an increased emphasis on narrative would be easy to overlook, but the new voice acting makes that a little harder. Making the Roomba-like robot Beep-O sassy is already a poor move since the writing is painfully unfunny, but it takes away from the animation and gives way for some truly annoying Rabbids.
