Oct 27, 2017You remember the blue coins from sunshine? Imagine those, but it's the entire game. Probably the most underwhelming 3D Mario game, but it's still pretty fun. Pick it up if you own a Switch, but don't run out and buy a Switch just because of this game.

Jan 21, 2022High quality, but VEEEEEEEEEEERY casual and boring platformer. Collecting moons in this game it's too easy and have no challange. Bosses nothing more then shame, 3 hits - you win. Better buy other Mario games on Switch, neither this one.

Jun 4, 2023The most overhyped game I have ever played. It is fun, but it is far from a great experience. It’s also way too self-congratulating.

Feb 12, 2023The game gives moons way too easily, hindering their value and the overall enjoyment, and some kingdoms are way too basic, still great gameplay, music, and a lot of creativity. A good game, just not my favorite

Jan 15, 2023A bit easy and grindy. Uninspired and empty in comparison with the Galaxy games. A bit of a dissapointment. Mario controls ace, as expected, and the hat/capture mechanics were interesting but that’s about it for me. A pitty.

Aug 27, 2023A fine game but I must admit that all the 10/10s sometimes leave me wondering if I’m wrong when it comes to Mario games. Very fun but not a “perfect score” kinda game for me.

Feb 14, 2023At best, the game is decent.
At worse, it's very repetitive.
Not saying it's bad, but I'm sure as hell not saying it's the best either. Not by a long shot. -
Aug 12, 2023Overall I found the game pretty enjoyable, but honestly I was expecting for something more for a game ranked as good ad Breath of the wild. The story is nice and the levels are fun to explore, but in the end I found it too short and also a bit repetitive.

Feb 12, 2023Kinda boring but sometimes fun, I don't think it's too cool and the lore is a snoozefest.

Aug 28, 2023This is the first Mario game I’ve enjoyed since I was a kid. I loved they made Mario in 3D. Typical Mario story but I enjoyed traversing the different levels within the game. Solid Mario game!

Mar 19, 2023It's absolutely unbelievable, so vibrant, and so much fun. My daughter and I absolutely love the adventure. Worth every penny. If you are thinking about buying it don't think just do and you will have one of the greatest gaming experiences of your life.

Sep 10, 2021Good as many have said before. The game is beautiful and there is great gameplay but the praise ends here.
The game is totally repetitive, I found even the worlds really small and without saying that the bosses are ridiculously easy.
Basically the game is all about collecting moons... if you are under 13 go ahead. -

The game was designed for children, and the difficulty level falls in line. It's worth purchasing when the game is on sale. -

Nov 18, 2019Good and beautifull game but for an older gamer way too easy. Prefer the 2D difficulty Mario games

Dec 3, 2024While it was difficult to imagine how Nintendo could top previous 3D Mario adventures, Super Mario Odyssey is nigh-on perfect in almost every way. With the help of Cappy, Mario has never been as fun to control, reaching new heights and, in the hands of a skilled player, accomplishing impossible skips. You need only pick up a controller to see why this is the best modern Mario game ever.

CD-ActionJan 10, 2018The best entry to the best platforming series is so ridiculously huge it’s like a theme park made of theme parks. It’s a wonderful tribute to Super Mario 64, but it’s not a lazy homage. Super Mario Odyssey draws inspiration from the superb classic to top it and everything that came after it. [13/2017, p.38]

Nintendo Force MagazineJan 7, 2018Perhaps no past Mario game has ever elicited so many smiles as this, and even if every other winning aspect of its design were set aside, that reality alone would make it a masterpiece. [Issue #31 – January/February 2018, p. 39E]
