Tenemos un montón de lunas por recolectar y si bien la historia principal no es la mas larga o profunda del mundo de los videojuegos al finalizarla el juego apenas comienza ya que un montón de nuevas lunas por recolectar a parecen y nuevos retos con un poco mas de dificultad. Me hubiera gustado que algunos reinos fueran mas extensos ya que unos son bastante complejos y llenos de secretos y otros se quedan un tanto cortos sin embargo este juego pinta como una nueva revolución en el mundo de super mario bros, sin duda un juego que debes tener si eres poseedor de un nintendo switch, o un nuevo motivo aparte de breath of the wild para adquirir tu consola estas navidades.… Expand

    Mario going open world, and trying new things works well. Graphics are beautiful, level design is spot on, replay value is large, and the capture mechanic, and retro 2D sections are a great new addition to the series. Best 3D Mario game since Galaxy 2.

It, along with other great games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, make me not regret purchasing a Nintendo Switch in the slightest. Super Mario Odyssey is a charming love letter to the 3D platformer/collectathon genre that thrived in the 90s and 2000s, that anyone who grew up with will be touched by.

    In it, the ever-intrepid ex-plumber Mario teams up with Cappy, a sentient (and shapeshifting) hat creature. They travel all over the world, and just maybe beyond, to save Princess Peach and Cappy's sister Tiara from an arranged marriage with Bowser. Mario and Cappy's travels will take them to a total of 17 different expansive locales, from the bleak, foggy, moonlit landscape of Bonneton, to the bizarre juxtaposition of nature and machine in the Steam Gardens, to the bustling metropolis of New Donk City. In each area, they'll need to collect Power Moons in order to power their ship enough to move on to the next area. Not exactly the most original plotline, but that isn't really ever expected from Mario games that don't start with "Paper" anyhow. The main focus in this series was always gameplay, and don't worry on that end: Odyssey delivers.

    Much like FLUDD and the baby Luma from before, much of the gameplay revolves around Mario's latest companion. Unlike, say, FLUDD (disclaimer: I love Sunshine), Cappy feels like a natural extension of Mario's usual abilities. Cappy transforms Mario's signature hat, something that's been with him on every adventure for the past three decades, into a multipurpose tool you'll find yourself missing when you don't have it. With him on Mario's side, Mario has the ability to throw his hat in any direction he pleases, direct it or hold it in midair, and have it return back to his head. His hat can be used as a weapon against obstacles and small enemies, a convenient platform to jump off of in midair, a way to stop himself from falling for a convenient moment (much like the spin jump from Galaxy), a way to remotely collect coins that are just out of reach, and one more function that is by far the most interesting.

    Perhaps Odyssey's main "gimmick", is that Cappy gives Mario the powers of a poltergeist. If something has a head, and that head isn't protected by a hat (things that do have hats can usually have them knocked off), throwing Cappy on to it will result in Mario's spirit flying into its body, and assuming direct control of it; the captured entity adopting his signature hat, eyes, and moustache. There's a total of 52 different entities that can be "captured", including Goombas, Cheep-Cheeps, an actual human "New Donker" who pilots an RC car, traffic cones, a giant slab of meat, frogs, manhole covers, a tree, a few different statues, the letters that make up Mario's own name, and an actual realistic tyrannosaurus rex. This capture mechanic is used in a wide variety of different ways. Capturing a Cheep-Cheep for instance will make you no longer have to worry about air underwater. Capturing specific objects or enemies might also work to your advantage in puzzles, platforming segments, and even boss fights. The second boss you fight, for example, involves capturing her pet Chain Chomp and slamming it into her face to deal damage.

    Aside from Cappy, Mario's own moveset has gotten an upgrade, ensuring that the platforming is as fun as ever. All the iconic moves such as the backflip, sideways somersault, long jump, ground pound, and triple jump are still there; interspersed with new ones such as the ground pound jump, roll, and midair dive.

    To put this short and to wrap up my opinion on it, Super Mario Odyssey is an excellent installment to the 3D Mario series, capable of standing tall and proud with all its forefathers, even Super Mario 64 itself. If you're a long-time fan of the series, you're doing yourself a great disservice skipping this. If you're not, this may be an excellent entry point. I've never even been motivated enough to write a review for something before this, but I just have to here. I just have to tell everyone how great this game is, I can't help myself.    … Expand

    Mario Odyssey was a beautiful game with amazing worlds and tight controls. It is on the easier side of things, but it is a Mario title so I wasn't expecting it to be a challenge anyway. The way they used Cappy was great and made it second nature by the time you beat the game. Overall Nintendo really knocked it out of the park with their latest Mario title.

The environments are not simply themes, as they often have been in the 2D Mario games of late, but full fledged worlds with dozens of hidden secrets across their many nooks and crannies. Power moons and purple currency reward exploration with fuel for your ship to reach new worlds, and customization of both Mario and his ship.

It retains elements of the classic 3d mario titles yet has its own style and structuring. Without a doubt my game of the year, even surpassing breath of the wild.

    I'd say it's almost perfect. Like any game of this kind, it is easy to play and hard to master, so that anyone can complete it with ease, but it takes a skilled player and some time to be really good at it and collect every single special-coin and moon. Performance-wise is perfect, colourful and runs smoothly.

They have made such a great game and it deserves some recognition. Thank you Nintendo, no one has ever come close to making the same amount of classics as you… Expand

    On a technical level, this is the best Mario game.

    There are a lot of things that Super Mario Odyssey does very well. It has the best visuals of any Mario game, it has the most unique gameplay mechanics, the best bosses, the most diverse environments, one of the better soundtracks. From a technical perspective it has almost no obvious flaws and the team at Nintendo deserves a lot of praise for what it accomplished. So why did I give it an 8 and not a 9 or 10? Basically, because there is more to a great game than technical achievements and a lack of flaws. This is probably the best year I can recall for games. The bar has been raised across the board. I gave this game an 8 because compared to the other great games this year it is shallow. Outside of its gameplay and production values it just isn't exceptional. I spent over 100+ hours on my first play through of Breath of the Wild same with Persona 5, those gave me more and left me with something. I beat the main story for Mario Odyssey in 2 days without a challenge. I am not even very good at Mario games but even I found the puzzles and platforming pretty mild compared to past entries. There are far more moons than there were stars in past Mario games but earning them is far simpler and many don't even require you to complete a challenge. Don't get me wrong, some of them are extremely fun but very few left me with a sense of accomplishment. I enjoyed the game a lot but compared to many of the other great games this year such as Persona 5, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Breath of the Wild, etc. Mario Odyssey just lacks depth. The game is great and I recommend it to most people. in terms of fun factor it is excellent but it just lacks substance compared to other games that I put in the 9+ category.

    Gameplay wise Mario Odyssey is masterful. The hat possession mechanic is amazing and definitely one of the most interesting gameplay mechanics that I have ever seen. The game does a great job of making each transformation unique and has multiple transformations that surprised me. In terms of Mario's base controls, they are very similar to past 3d entries but they are very precise and I found the controls to be even better than they were in Sunshine and Galaxy. Another great addition to the game is the fast travel system, it saves tons of time and makes moving around the levels very quick. Even the swimming controls, which have been pretty frustrating in the past I found alright in this entry. It is really nice that there is a use for coins, but the rewards are mostly cosmetic. It would have been cool if the costumes actually had a use beyond looks.

    In terms of progression and story, this is way below average. The story is almost the same as the other Mario games. The one thing that Odyssey does story wise that I liked was the way that it connects Bowser's actions to each kingdom. The ending also has one creative twist that I thought was clever. The game progresses smoothly and never drags but it doesn't really stop to make many moments memorable either. It's fast and furious from start to finish. People often say that story doesn't matter in platformers, I disagree because other games have great gameplay and still have good story lines. People complain when Zelda's story sucks and take off points but Mario always gets a pass. A great story adds something to the game so it matters. If a great game with no story is compared to a game with great gameplay and a great story the game with both deserves the higher score. There are plenty of platformer games with better stories than this one. Donkey Kong 64, Psychonauts, Prince of Persia and even Banjo Kazooie all have better stories than this.

    The worlds are pretty good but very few blew me away. There are a lot of them and usually each one had a few cool features but within an hour or so I usually found I wanted to move on to the next one.

    Visually, this is the best Mario game by far and one of the best looking games of the year. Every material looks believable, the fx are great and well used, and some of the backgrounds are breath taking. The menus are simple yet appealing. This is a very cartoony game so it doesn't have the same level of detail as some of the games on the PS4 but everything looks clean and the level of detail is actually surprising for a game of this type. Nintendo did a great job giving every environment a unique look and focusing on clean designs.

    In terms of sound design, the music is good and sometimes like in the Sand Kingdom, the music is surprisingly atmospheric. I really did like the sound design but I certainly wouldn't say it is one of the best of all time. Its good but it isn't in the same league as Ocarina of Time, Shadow of the Colossus, FFX, The Last of Us etc. Its good, very enjoyable I would say an 8 in sound design.

    This is a great game and I can see why a lot of people think it is worthy of a 9+ but for me I want more than just random fun.    … Expand

    Siempre he sido un fanático de Nintendo, y sobre todo de Mario. Por ello cuando salió este juego no tuve excusas, me hice con la consola y el juego. Así que ¿Qué tan bueno es? Pues, en mi opinión está a la altura de Mario 64 y Galaxy: es decir, una obra maestra de su género. Con esa premisa por delante procederé a explicarme un poco más.

    En este juego "odisea" no es sólo una palabra,    Siempre he sido un fanático de Nintendo, y sobre todo de Mario. Por ello cuando salió este juego no tuve excusas, me hice con la consola y el juego. Así que ¿Qué tan bueno es? Pues, en mi opinión está a la altura de Mario 64 y Galaxy: es decir, una obra maestra de su género. Con esa premisa por delante procederé a explicarme un poco más.

    En este juego "odisea" no es sólo una palabra, es el concepto del juego en sí mismo. No se trata de conocer con detalle cada uno de los lugares que visitamos, si no de entenderlos como una estación, una parada de nuestra epopeya por salvar a Peach. El escenario nos presenta como son los lugares, que hay en ellos y que tipo de enemigos (y por lo tanto nuevas habilidades) hay, sin embargo sólo pasaremos por allí para mejorar nuestra nave, mirar el horizonte y seguir la aventura. Mas adelante, y una vez terminada la historia podremos empaparnos con el maravilloso diseño de niveles de cada mundo, así como sus mayores retos y secretos.

    La jugabilidad de Mario básico es casi igual a la de su entrega en la Nintendo 64, pero en lugar de golpear y saltar la gorra Cappy sirve como proyectil y plataforma provisoria para alcanzar nuevos lugares. Sin embargo la innovacion está en las nuevas habilidad que obtendremos a corporizarnos en nuestros enemigos, lo cual aumenta las posibilidades de cada sitio de manera descomunal. Hay muchas maneras de hacer todo, tú eliges.

    La música es maravillosa, pero el juego también aplica mucho el recurso de los silencios. En la misma linea todo el apartado gráfico está muy bien cuidado, pero donde mas despunta es en el diseño gráfico, es un juego muy lindo, no tan potente, ni tan impactante, pero es bello, y es creativo.

    Siendo muy sincero no le encuentro ninguna falencia a este juego, de verdad. Es algo con lo que no me había topado desde hace mucho tiempo. Con ello no quiero decir que sea un juego "perfecto" -que eso no existe- si no que todo está bien ejecutado, es redondo. No le sobra ni le falta nada, y eso es gracias a sus muchas capas de profundidad, si vienes aquí por la historia principal es maravillosa: no será difícil y es realmente inspirada, si has jugado a muchos Marios encontrarás guiños por doquier. Si eres fan de Mario y te gustan los desafios el post-game es desafiante y extenso: con unas 45 horas de juego aun me falta mucho por sacar del mismo.

    Sumado a todo esto están los compaces finales de la historia principal: hermosos, me emocioné mucho con ellos y fue imposible no recordar mi niñez frente a una vieja Nintendo 64 pasándome por primera vez la obra maestra que fue Mario 64. Hoy, casi 20 años después, vuelvo a disfrutar de otra obra maestra del fontanero, y de la compañía que aún hoy, y con mas razón después de esta obra maestra, sigue siendo mi favorita.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've just 100% completed Odyssey and I just wanted to write somewhere about how god damn impressed I was by it; I've not felt this refreshed by a 3D platformer since I were a young'n playing Banjo Tooie.
    The game play was so enjoyable and fluid, keeping me interested at all times to go and explore every nook and cranny instead of just looking things up online as I do when I just can't be bothered to give other games the time of day.
    I can't help but feel that if Yooka Laylee was even a fraction like this, it would have been much better received; MO just ticked all the boxes YL didn't in terms of mechanics, tone and content.
    Odyssey was also one of those games that just kept giving, I was so shocked to see initially how many moons there are to get per level, but then you of course get given ample more via the moon blocks after beating Bowser's lizard ass within the main story. It was such a nice way to distribute more content as the game went on rather than fart-assing around with longed out mechanics or spending a fortune on 'the rest of the game' through DLC as so many do these days.
    Don't get me wrong, there were a few infuriating parts (the skipping rope 100 moon, the final challenge), but these felt more like something I could get better at by trying rather than wanting to throw the joycons at my TV like ninja stars.
    With this, Breath of the Wild and several other great titles, the switch is really shaping up to be a worthy contender late into the console cycle and I cannot wait to see what DLC they can crack out for this. Well done Nintendo for showing everyone else (cough, EA) how it's done.    … Expand

    There is a heap of fun and joy to be found in the game although it remains very easy up until the end game. After that you get a heap more stuff to do but sadly it's split between the banally easy, the interesting and the slightly infuriating.

    It's definitely a great game but for me it's not quite the masterpiece that it's metascore suggests.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Super Mario Odyssey can be described in one word: joyful.

    Every minute I play this game, I have a huge smile on my face, enjoying every minute. From the kingdom to the last, every moment is just a joy.

    Mario controls better than ever before. Cappy is a great innovation to the series. Movement is much more varied than before, thus bringing a ton of creativity into how you can get from one place to the next.

    Spoilers from here on:

    My two favorite levels have to be the final level of the main series after defeating Bowser and, by far my favorite level in this game and probably any game ever, is the festival at the end of New Donk City. The amazing song mixed with the incredible throwback game play truly made me emotional and close to the point of tears for a video game that, with respect to the game, has no right of doing. I have cried during two games before for different reasons. The Last of Us because of the raw drama and storytelling and Super Mario Odyssey because of the sheer beauty of the game and joy I have playing it.

    That all being said, I genuinely think 2017 will go down as one of the best years Nintendo has ever had. From the success of the Switch to the grandiose Breath of the Wild to the joyful Mario Odyssey, this has been a great year for Nintendo. Even games that aren't as popular, like Splatoon 2, are still phenomenal games.

    Nintendo has truly hit a home run in 2017.    … Expand

    Super Mario Odyssey is a fresh new breath into the Super Mario series it desperately needed during the times of New Super Mario Bros. 2 and New Super Mario Bros. U.

U. Returning to the exploration-based formula from Super Mario 64, Super Mario Odyssey provides a fantastically open adventure with the most non-linear Mario game released so far. Most of the main bosses can be skipped if you find enough Power Moons before you encounter them. The game takes many new and experimental leaps for the Super Mario franchise, with many additions such as giant sandbox-like worlds, memorable NPCs and enemies, and the first song in a Mario game with full lyrics, “Jump Up, Super Star!” (not counting spin-offs and promotional material) The controls are tight and responsive, and even though some moves with the capture ability require motion controls, there are button combinations for many of the moves that seem like they require motion. (Example: with a captured Cheep-Cheep, you can shake your controller to attack or press the B and Y buttons.) The capture mechanic is fun, and I had a blast finding out what I could transform into. Overall, Super Mario Odyssey is a fantastic experience that will be remembered fondly as the Super Mario 64 of this generation of kids. If you have a switch, buy this game.… Expand

Cappy serves as a great sidekick, with his boomerang and capture abilities providing a refreshing take on the classic 3D Mario Mechanics. Visually, it is a gorgeous game. It maintains 60 fps consistently in both mobile and docked. There seems to be a variety of different environments in this game, unlike Super Mario Galaxy and Sunshine. While those games followed a common theme, Odyssey takes influence from Super Mario 64 and Super Mario World in that there is a (Spoilers) desert world, ghost world. tropical world, metro world, etc. The music is phenomenal. I recommend that everyone use a headset to truly appreciate it. I had chills running down my spine once I heard the theme from the Switch Presentation Trailer for Odyssey. No other franchise has made as big of an impact on the gaming industry as Mario. He is the Micky Mouse of gaming. This game can be enjoyed by anyone. Enthusiast gamers. Father/Mother playing with his or her kids. Teenagers. Anyone. I had lost faith in Nintendo during the Wii U generation. They have absolutely blown me away with putting out masterpieces such as Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. These 2 games make the Switchh worth it. I must also add that this year has been incredible for gaming. Besides Mario and Zelda, we had Persona 5, Cuphead, Horizon Zero Dawn, Nier, Nioh, Divinity. Instead of debating Game of the Years. We should declare 2017 as the Year of the Games. I hope everyone enjoys these games as much as I have. Collapse… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I believe I'm a pretty positive person but I can be negative at times. That being said I LOVE Super Mario Odyssey. I've never played a 3d Mario game but I did a whole lot of research and learned that 3d Mario's were getting more and more linear, so people were excited for this. Then came E3, I thought the game looked amazing during the trailer and the gameplay, I was super hyped. I wasn't as into it as Splatoon 2 only because Splatoon 2 was coming out later and Mario + Rabbids was leaked. During the week before it's release I was way too hyped and I'm happy to say that it lived up to that hype. It's approachable and the exploration rewards you for everything you do. For example, the fact that you don't take any fall damage just rewards players. It's fun, as you know this review contains spoilers because of this line. When I entered the Forgotten Kingdom I was ecstatic that it was only about exploration and nothing else. That only scratches the surface of what I like about this game and love about this game but to not make this review too long I'm gonna stop here. So I give Super Mario Odyssey a 10/10… Expand

    Super Mario Odyssey was the first proper 3D Mario in 15 years. There have been Galaxy and 3D world/land, but those were level-based and linear. Odyssey is open world, like 64 and Sunshine. But some people don’t think it’s the true successor. It isn’t. In fact, it’s better then 64 and Sunshine and Galaxy and all 3D Marios. Why? How?

    The plot is the same; Bowser kidnapped Peach. It’s never    Super Mario Odyssey was the first proper 3D Mario in 15 years.

In fact, it’s better then 64 and Sunshine and Galaxy and all 3D Marios. Why? How?

    The plot is the same; Bowser kidnapped Peach. It’s never said why he does this, but now he wants to marry her. So, he pulls out all the stops. Mario tries to finish it quick, but Bowser destroys him and sends him flying to a place called Bonneton. He then meets a Bonneteer named Cappy who’s sister was taken by Bowser and placed on Peach’s head. Wow. I did not expect a decent story.

    The gameplay is that Mario is in a big world which he needs to explore and get Power Moons. Power Moons are used to power up his ship and fly to the next area. If you remember 64 or Sunshine, the stars and shines are more mission based, but you can find these moons anywhere, making the world seem bigger. I like this more because there are all these little nooks and crannies in every kingdom, and you get a nice reward for finding them. To find some, you need to “capture” an enemy. To do this you have to throw Cappy on their head. Then, you posses them and can play as them. This seems weird on the surface, but it’s actually a lot of fun to be a Cheep cheep of Hammer bro and see what it’s like for them.

    Super Mario Odyssey looks great while running at 60 fps. You can see every hair on Mario and all the scratches on the Chain Chomps. I don’t really have a complaint with the presentation. The locations are very creative and reflect on the presentation nicely. Take Toastarena. Sure, it’s a basic desert, but instead of being Egypt themed, it’s Mexico themed. As a person who lives in a desert very similar to it, I have to say they did it justice. There are also 2 vocalized songs which both sound very good.

    Odyssey is short. About 10 hours. It’s also a bit easy. But all the content comes from 100% the game. People who don’t like it didn’t play the post-game. In fact, 100% the game will take 70 hours. Wow. You don’t get a game like that often. After you 100% it however, the only thing you can do is play Balloon World. Balloon world is not a reason to go back.

    A lot of people demote it saying that there’s no reason to play it now, and I kind of agree. But if you haven’t played it before, definitely do. It’s the 6th bestselling Switch game for a reason. It was so good that I, and many others, have it a standing ovation when completed. 2017 was a good year thanks to this stellar game.    … Expand

    Mario Odyssey baffles me in an amazing way. There's an endless amount of possibilities, there's so many moons and yes they may not feel rewarding because they are mostly easy to get but collecting the moons isn't half of what this adventure is.

    The capturing mechanic makes the blandish but beautiful worlds sooo much more interesting, you can capture your run of the mill goombas and also you can capture other things you would never expect. If you don't like the capture idea you probably won't love the game, that's the biggest aspect of it so if you think it's some gimmick you definitely should run from this game. Cappy also makes the game a lot more spicy, he is a cute loveable character that is the F.L.U.D.D of Odyssey. Except he's a lot less controlling and is not overpowered.
    My only gripes are that the main story is entirely too easy to run through, the requirements are way too low but there's so many moons per level that doing your first 100% run could take you a hefty amount of time. Also the boss battles are way too easy, they don't get hard til after the main game, you can really beat the bosses in the first few tries including the final boss.
    But the finale is amazing, you do something you would never expect to do, and a lot of stuff unlocks in the kingdoms after the boss so the end of the game is far after the final boss.
    Yes there are some small things that put a small damper on the game but that's a small price to pay for all of the good things you will experience. Super Mario Odyssey is one of Mario's best adventures yet and it is the switch's best title thus far!    … 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]
