    Definitely one of the best games to ever be made and one of the best games on the switch.

    This is a great game which has such a soul.
    It has beautiful visuals and great story and its not too complex.

    I don't understand how the metascore for this game got 97%. I'm going to give it 86%. Sure, its a Mario game, but i its not THAT good. It's still a great game to play, don't get me wrong, but they're really are some problems with it. It's pretty cool for Mario to posses enemies by using Cappy. Finding and Collecting moons is the funnest thing to do in the game. The problem with this gameI don't understand how the metascore for this game got 97%. I'm going to give it 86%.

The problem with this game is that the way they designed the levels was not exciting to see. They were still good but not something to make me smile the whole time. Some costumes were fun to use in the game, but a lot I just didn't care about. It's a great Mario game, but not an extremely good one. Expand

    I'm new to the Switch and I was looking for a relaxing game that I could pick up and put down, Super Mario Odyssey definitely delivers. It's a really nice change of pace from the heavy duty games i've played on PS5 and PC lately, the art style is superb, the music is great and it takes me back to owning an N64 as a kid.

    Definitely a fun thing to pick up for those who are a little burnt

    I played this game and found it pretty good. The graphics are impressive, the gameplay is smooth, and each open world is unique and different from the others. However, I only recommend this game to die-hard Mario fans or those under the age of 15 because it's very easy and the story is cute but unnecessary. Clearly, the game was designed for children.

However, I only recommend this game to die-hard Mario fans or those under the age of 15 because it's very easy and the story is cute but unnecessary. Clearly, the game was designed for children. The main objective is to collect moons, and after finishing the story, you can unlock an extra level. But getting all the moons is a tedious and time-consuming task. Nevertheless, the moons are well-hidden, and the ways to get them are diverse and creative. In conclusion, I think I'm too old for this game. Expand

    Pretty good. Good graphics, a lot of replayability, chalenging but not too hard... The gameplay, in my opinion, was oriented towards experts, many things were hidden and impossible to find without a guide, and the art style was bland.

    I recently went back and replayed this game, and let me tell you, this is the best 3D Mario in my opinion apart from Galaxy.

    The movement is flawless, the gameplay is amazing and this deserves a sequel.

    Very good game so much stuff to find and do. Must buy if you own a switch.
    Only downside is that the bosses are as usually way too easy.

    This game is so joyous. The music, setting, and ambiance make me so giddy. Honestly an incredible game. Once I beat it, I've spent about one hundred hours just doing trickjumps. It's also very replayable. 9/10, great game.

Every area in the game feels incredibly unique from one another. Not to mention, Odyssey has the most thorough post-game of any game I have ever played, giving the player an additional four kingdoms to explore as well as additional moons to go back to in every other kingdom in the game. Odyssey feels like the pinnacle of the 'Sandbox Mario' that I absolutely loved as a child, and every replay I love the game a little bit more. Please let there be an Odyssey 2 lol Expand

    De los mejores plataformas 3d de la historia (por no decir el mejor), muchas horas de contenido, la mecánica de Cappy es entretenida y divertida. Uno de los mejores juegos de la historia de nintendo.

    While 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.

    The 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]

    Perhaps 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]
