I just recently played that through and beat it for the first time. Good game!

Also one of the rare instances of an N64 game that's aged well visually.

Loving it so far I made the mistake of dismissing it as "another Mario spinoff game" not realising that it's basically Mario RPG 2. Image

Also recently completed Trine 2 Director's Cut... great game.

Paper Mario finished, Bowser was a complete pushover but the game overall is pretty damn good. Thousand year door is next on the list.

I beat Ass Creed Syndicate, although I still have a load of extra missions to do that I may come back to. Easily the best in the series.

Thousand Year Door is the best of the Paper Mario series. Sticker Star just felt like more of the same, and Super Paper Mario never quite decides whether it wants to be a platformer or a text-heavy RPG.

The Mario & Luigi series is also quite good, and more similar to Mario RPG than the Paper Mario series. Bowser's Inside Story is probably the best of that line.

Super Paper Mario was the first game that I tried in the series and kinda put me off playing anymore, which is a shame as I found Paper Mario to be very enjoyable. I've been meaning to pick up Bowser's Inside Story .

Sticker Star wasn't just the worst Paper Mario game, it was possibly the worst RPG I've ever played. The mechanics of that game were absolute trash.

Finally beat Ocarina of Time 3D, I say finally as I had the original N64 game but never got around to beating it, so this was 20 years in the making.

It's a nice nostalgic feeling going back and beating games from your childhood/teens.
