The only negative thing about the graphics is that some of the models are obvious low-polygon ports from the 3DS version. Miis stayed about the same in terms of level of detail (other than the move to HD and wigs), but the environments have much better texturing and shaders. I was curious how much better the game would look on the Switch compared to the 3DS, and it's definitely an improvement when comparing videos of the two. In terms of graphics and sound, it's passable. A complete lack of restrictions means that any Mii can take on any role, which is how princess Bob Ross ended up marrying Shrek in my copy. The customized Miis fill the roles in Miitopia's otherwise generic story, making the cutscenes and dialogue completely hilarious.
The Mii Maker is expanded with powerful new editing tools, making it possible to create virtually any Mii caricature of family members, celebrities, and even politicians. Where Miitopia truly shines is in its weirdness and humor. Each Mii's personality and relationship play a massive role in making battles less predictable, and also adds some interesting strategy to the system. Even so, the AI is convincing enough to not make it feel like a computer is simply doing everything. This makes sense given that the Miis are supposed to be driven by relationships, but it can lead to watching battles play out more than actually participating in them. The only major problem with the turn-based system is that only one Mii is playable. Miis that spend time together generally become better friends (or romantic partners?). Relationships are developed between battles in surreal Tomodachi Life-esque cutscenes. Unique to Miitopia is a relationship system that allows Miis to team up for attacks during battles (or hinder each other out of spite). Unlike the Paper Mario series, Miitopia thankfully sticks to the tried-and-true RPG formula: battling monsters, leveling up, and unlocking new skills in the process. The main gameplay consists of turn-based battles using party of customizable Miis. I recommend trying to demo before paying full price for the game. I was pretty much sold on the game after playing through the demo and messing around with the new Mii Maker tools. I'll start out by saying that I skipped over Miitopia on the 3DS in 2017, so this game was a fresh experience for me.
