Smash is the game franchise I've sunken easily the most hours into and it still keeps on being fun every single time I boot up a game, and Ultimate is absolutely no exception. It is my go-to multiplayer game anytime anyone comes over or when I have my Switch with me.
This game has an absolutely amazing roster of so many fun, unique and iconic characters. It is not just a cross-over fighting game, it is a celebration of videogames as a whole (still mostly Nintendo though). The amount of variety the sheer size of the roster brings everytime I play this game never seizes to be fun, and almost every time we can still end up playing a matchup we've never played before.
I mostly play with basic rules, but the amount of customization options given to rulesets, items, stages, everything really is absolutely insane. There are so many amazing stages besides the competitive legal ones and the stage builder also... exists. If you want a good laugh you can always look at the custom stages people online have made.
Singleplayer-wise Ultimate is a bit on the weaker side. The singleplayer campaign World of Light is basically a massive amount of challenges that work as callbacks to their respective spirits and I think it's just okay. Classic mode also returns and it is just pretty good as always. There are a lot of other random singleplayer modes but frankly none of them really interest me. Smash has always been about the multiplayer for me.
The roster is humongous and the physics strike the perfect balance between Melee and 4. I absolutely adore Smash Bros and this truly is the Ultimate one.
