    Along with breath of the wild, my favorite game on the nintendo switch. Again with this delivery, Mario is crowned as the king of video games. Excellent technical and artistic section. Fun and addictive until raging. Easy to play but difficult to master. New mechanics and spectacular movements. Nothing bad to say about this game. 10/10.

    I loved playing this Mario game, but I feel that Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 on the Wii are still my favourite Mario games (maybe Mario 64 as well) as they were part of my early childhood. Innovative as any Mario game, the lack of powerups may have brung my interest down a bit, let alone the score down one. 9/10
    Great game, but it could be better.

    This game is a phenomenal. Everything is amazing. The character/map style, level design, story line, game mechanics. Its all perfect. This is actually the first Mario game that I was able to finish. If feels like Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 3D World had a child (while that doesn't sound that good, its 3:02am so cut me some slack). Overall good game, would recommend.

    If you like platforming then this game is for you. Nintendo struck gold again on this one and dispute the short main story there are several hours more of completionist and endgame content. Honestly if you have a switch and have not played this game, I don’t know what you’re waiting for.

    Really excellent, lighthearted fun. That a game like this has two-player couch coop just puts it over the top. I got all the power moons and don’t regret it a bit—it has the feel, look, and flavor that a restful, simple, silly game should have.

    El mejor Mario hasta la fecha, y eso es mucho decir.
    Si te van las plataformas este juego es una maravilla (y mira que yo soy mas de plataformas 2D).
    Gran variedad de niveles y de cosas que se pueden hacer aunque bastante sencillo modo historia. pero que su gran jugabilidad y variedad permite regujarlo multiples veces.

    An all around amazing Mario game with an amazing soundtrack , over 900 moons for you to collect (999 total) , beautiful kingdoms, amazing controls , it basically takes almost all good elements from the past games and mixes them up in a creative and entertaining way , a must buy for Mario fans

    Certainly one of Mario's best 3D games, but I think it could be better. The soundtrack is very good, the gameplay too, but I think the only defect is the clothing system. I think if it had power-ups like Mario Galaxy it would be more interesting, and the game becomes a little repetitive at the end. However, it diminishes very little in its legacy.

    The game was great. The open worlds were nice and good to have. The controls were tight. But I'm not a fan of motion controls. Mario also has fewer movement options and is less agile then he was in Galaxy and Sunshine. It also needs a hard mode or something, it was too easy.

    Le gameplay est au petit oignons et très diversifié de par l'arrivée pour cette opus de la fameuse casquette de Mario qui nous permet de prendre contrôle de différents objets ou êtres vivants et qui de ce fait nous propose un gameplay différents pour chaque chose que l'on contrôle.

    l'histoire est sommaire mais ce laisse suivre sans problème avec ce combat final que j'ai trouvé très bon.
    un bémol en plus du end game mais qui est lié, c'est le remplissage via les lunes qu'on doit trouvé dans les différents mondes et qui pour ma part m'a très vite saoulé,.

    The ending of the story is a bit disappointing. After the story, the content did not stimulate the desire to continue.

    스토리의 엔딩은 약간의 아쉬움이 있습니다. 스토리 이후 컨텐츠는 계속 할 의욕을 자극하지 못했습니다.

When I changed to this mindset I had so much more fun. It was such a blast exploring all the amazingly designed open worlds and collecting as many moons as I could, not matter how easy they were to get. And don't get me wrong, there are plenty of insanely hard levels that will satisfy even the best gamers (Long Journey's end and Breakdown road).

Without a doubt, this game is a modern return to sandbox-style games like Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, both absolute great experiences in their respective ways. As for someone still debating whether or not to buy this game, it is worth every penny of your well-earned money. Trust me, you will have a blast visiting each kingdom, all of which have different landscapes and vast areas to explore. Couple that with being able to purchase items with in-game currency to dress Mario according to the climate or vibe in a region, and you have a title born to be executed perfectly. If you are on the fence regarding purchasing Super Mario Odyssey, I would advise you not to listen to users who gave this game a Metacritic score of zero. Judging by the way they wrote their reviews, they tend to cling to a certain topic and repeat statements about the game's difficulty. I will agree that some boss battles are leaning toward the easier side of things, but that does not devalue the challenging objectives which this title is loaded with. It is certainly a perfect game for both adults and children, though users who chose the lowest possible score would likely disagree. Gamers that claim "Nintendo games are children's toys" in general likely haven't even played one in their lives. The same goes for those who gave Super Mario Odyssey an unfair goose egg. These users haven't even played the title, but are simply latching onto lies regarding the game's difficulty or age range. Some even think the game deserves a rank of seven or eight, but put a zero to balance out the perfect scores other users selected! This title is fantastic despite any minor flaws it presents, and I will return to it for years to come. Expand

    Simplemente impresionante, gráficamente, artísticamente y jugablemente. Cada uno de los mapas es una mezcla entre realismo y fantasía. Además, Cappy añade muchas funciones que enriquecen el juego.

    güzel bir oyun. saf oynanış üzerine kurulu bir eğlence anlayışı var. hikaye konusunda hiçbir yenilenmeye gittiklerini düşünmüyorum. anlatım olabildiğince basit, kurgu ise tahmin edilebilir. oyunun aldığı puan tamamen grafikler, atmosfer ve oynanış üzerinden almış. bence hikayenin üzerine biraz daha düşseler ve mario evrenine modern bir anlatı getirseler bu oyun mükemmele oynarmış.güzel bir oyun. saf oynanış üzerine kurulu bir eğlence anlayışı var. hikaye konusunda hiçbir yenilenmeye gittiklerini düşünmüyorum. anlatım olabildiğince basit, kurgu ise tahmin edilebilir. oyunun aldığı puan tamamen grafikler, atmosfer ve oynanış üzerinden almış. bence hikayenin üzerine biraz daha düşseler ve mario evrenine modern bir anlatı getirseler bu oyun mükemmele oynarmış.

Como siempre, la historia es sencilla, pero aquí no buscamos eso. Buscamos escenarios grandes que explorar y con secretos que conseguir. Tiene un contenido que es enfermizo, sobre todo en conseguir todas las lunas, que creo que eran 999. Las nuevas mecánicas, como el sombrero, me parece muy buena y con muchas opciones a la hora de superar obstáculos, controlar enemigos, etc.. A nivel visual, el juego es precioso y cada mundo que visitamos es algo nuevo. En ocasiones, pasamos del 3D al 2D, homenajeando a los clásicos de Mario. Hay mucho contenido secundario, como los diferentes atuendos para Mario que desbloqueamos como las monedas que vamos consiguiendo en los mundos. Es uno de los juegos plataformeros más buenos a los que he jugado. Imprescindible jugarlo si te gustan los videojuegos. Expand

    One of the best mario games out there, and honestly, one of the best game-games out there. The amount of collectibles and moons is ridiculous, and there's so many challenges you can give yourself that give the game so much replay value.

    As someone who grew up playing Super Mario 64 and then having only played bits of the other Mario games (besides the old school ones) I found this game to be actually pretty amazing. We all know that the creators of these games always knock it out of the park with it's creativity and grand scale but I truly believe they went beyond what most games are even capable of making.

The fact that your hat now is a character and you can basically throw it at anything and become that object to help you advanced through the levels is just genius in my opinion. Not to mention the tons of nods to past video games and even having you play through the original level of where you meet Donkey Kong for the first time with it's catchy new song was just an awesome experience to behold. If you have a Nintendo Switch, buy this game. If you're a fan of Mario (I mean who isn't at this point) buy this game. A must own for Switch owners and for gamer's of all ages. Expand

    Ok, I've seen a lot of people gushing over the fact that it captures the fell of the original 3D Mario Games, And I've seen a lot of people dismissing their review as being blinded by Nostalgia. So keep in mind, I am a newcomer to 3D Mario games, heck, 3D platformers in general. And let me tell you, THIS. IS. THE. BEST. VIDEO. GAME. EVER!!!

    First of all, the Graphics. A lot of people.

So keep in mind, I am a newcomer to 3D Mario games, heck, 3D platformers in general. And let me tell you, THIS. IS. THE. BEST. VIDEO. GAME. EVER!!!

    First of all, the Graphics. A lot of people. think that because the switch doesn't have such a high resolution as other consoles, it means they cant have good graphics And Mario Oddysey proves these people wrong. From the beautiful landscape to the hyper-realistic textures of the characters, this game is a treat to your eyes.

    And then, in my opinion, the best part of the game, the controls. The sharp and fluent controls of Mario are strengthed by his latest companion. Cappy. Thanks to this hat with an M on it that is controlled by a living ghost also in the shape of a hat (Never thought I'd have to type that) You feel in control at all times. It helps you maneuver and re-position yourself in a way that never makes death feel unfair or something. If you die in this game, You know you screwed up. And because you can also jump on Cappy, It makes previously impossible jumps now a piece of cake.

    One of the most creative aspects of This absolute masterpiece is the capturing aspect. With the help of Cappy, You can capture and control other creatures. I can't describe how fun that is. Like come on, You can be a FREAKIN T-REX.

    In conclusion, You HAVE TO play Mario Oddysey. Even if you don't like platformers, you still should. And even if you don't have a switch, you should still buy it. Yes, this game is SO good you should buy a whole new console to play it. I'm sticking with that.

    This was my first mario game, but by the end of it I felt like I'd always known mario. The nostalgia trip in New donk city is amazing! The game's difficulty is also really well balanced, there are a lot of easy moons for beginners, but if you want a challenge, some of the moond and levels are infuriatingly challenging. Incredible replayability.

    Gameplay is the best in the 3D Mario Series. Has all the moves from 64 and sunshine and more. Cappy is an amazing partner as well as tool to access areas, capturing enemies and using them is addicting and never gets old. The world design is also the best in the Mario series with challenges and lovely sights to see and explore and do parkour.

I LOVED climbing up the skyscraper to a music festival, that section alone made the game for me.
    I had some trouble staying focused on this game so I didn't "binge-play" it, after every session feeling like I'm probably not gonna play it ever again but then, every once in a while I just couldn't shake the feeling that I want to play more of it just because of how fun it looks, so I always came back for a few hours and loved every second of it.
    On a more personal note: I wish they had given more incentives to chase after all those moons, since, sure, they were hidden in a lot of creative ways and just seeking them was fun, but I didn't feel encouraged enough to go after all of them because it felt like there was no real reward for that..

Mario controls and plays exactly how you’d want, and cappy(your hat) opens up so many new possibilities. Some kingdoms don’t exactly feel like they could exist in the same world as the others, but they are all a blast to explore with the stars of the show being cascade kingdom, metro kingdom, and bowser’s kingdom. As far as gripes go, the base game feels a couple hours too short and a bit too easy, but that’s only because there is such an amazing, fun filled postgame, packed with more(and harder) content. This is some of the most fun I’ve had playing any game. Not only is it my favorite 3D platformer, it’s my favorite mario game. Expand

    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]
