Mario + rabbids kingdom battle continues to be a massive fucking enigma.
Amazing music, actually good gameplay, a not-terrible story, yet it's a fucking rabbids crossover that brought dabbing back into mainstream and gave Mario a gun.
This game shouldn't exist, but it does. And it somehow managed to find the perfect balance of both great and awful.
What the fuck kind of timeline are we living in?
