Average Maria Individual

[rynling]

Well I'm sold:

When you meet Mario, he comes across as a psychopath, acting out of sheer ego and self-interest. "I plunge headfirst into danger, I save the princess, and I kill every fucking thing that gets in my way," he says. In response, you can ask, "What about what she wants?" After playing this game, it's a little harder to uncritically accept any simplistic narrative that justifies positioning you as the kind of hero who stomps on, slices, or shoots a thousand living things while completing your heroic quest.
