Cliff Bleszinski of Epic Games fame has high praise for Super Mario 3D World. CliffyB has been playing the title since it launched late last week, and just finished it today.
After beating Super Mario 3D World, Bleszinski had this to say:
Finished Super Mario 3D World. Loved every minute of it. So tightly designed. System selling title for the Wii U.

The amount of "Hey I'll go look over here or try something different" moments that are rewarded in Super Mario 3D World are staggering.

Bleszinski was also sharing positive thoughts about 3D World last week, such as:
Holy crap this new Mario game is pure bliss.

My cheeks are sore from smiling so hard while playing the new Mario it's just a love letter to what makes Mario so great.
