If 'forced soul' isn't a real thing explain WHY nobody talk about this game anymore. People still talk about mario 64 (honest soul) till this day.

I realize this is an unpopular opinion but the glowing reviews really baffle me. I am an old school Nintendo fan with Mario games being the one franchise I religiously buy.I don’t feel like writing a novel here but it just felt meh. Perhaps it was the ability to change into other things was recently done so much better with odyssey so I just didn’t feel any sense of wonder transforming into a thwomp. The switcharoo in each level was meh, like wow now it’s a top down perspective, big deal. Some were fine but most were just having me wish I was just playing a well designed regular 2d Mario game.The difficulty was ridiculous. Boss battles where you just walk up and step on a button, really? And the final boss I beat the first try.
I really cn’t understand the appeal. I’ve played all the main Mario games, all the paper Mario’s, all the Mario and Luigi’s, and I actually don’t think I ever wanted to just get a Mario game over, this was the first time. It kind of felt like a first draft. Like here are our levels and what each level is going to do. Now let’s expand upon that and make the levels 2 or 3 times as long and polish it up. But they just left like the first draft and then published it.
