Nah, the Rabbids here are not as bad as they normally are. In fact, I liked this game's Rabbids, as far as the notable ones go. Even the "Rabbid Wario" of the game doesn't use fart jokes.
But in my opinion, the core gameplay of the game is awesome. It has many applications to it, but it's simple, and yet you can do very complicated things, and killing enemies with a critical hit is one of the most satisfying things in this game. The story IS pretty eh, but also different than any Mario game's. And the enemies have a lot of variety, even though they're all types of Rabbids, but they utiloze them in such a way... you got big guys with a shield, ghost Rabbids, and there are variants of each enemy in every world. Well, except for when that enemy's first appearance is in a later world.
And the bosses... the bosses are great. Mid bosses are basically a more powerful version of a normal enemy with some special attribute, but they they cool, however, bosses always have a little gimmick going for them, which makes you plan out your strategy in a way that makes you feel smart when you finally finish the battle victorious. They are kinda hard enough to be able to easily kill you on your first try, but every retake makes you stronger. Also gotta RNG doesn't get in your way.
But all in all, I would say, don't fucking judge the game because it has Rabbids in it. That's what I did during the rumors, and now I realize how wrong I was for doing that.
