    A Nintendo se superou novamente! Um jogo fantástico... não consigo parar de jogar e procurar as moons e fazia tempo que um jogo não me cativava tanto. Estava jogando o Zelda BOTW que também é fantástico mas tive que deixá-lo de lado pra me dedicar à este jogo. Podem comprar sem medo, é um dos melhores jogos dos últimos tempos. Mario, you're a superstar!

    I had high expectations coming into this, as there were many comparisons to Mario 64, which is one of my favorite games of all time. I hadn't played any of the Galaxy games, but I also enjoyed Super Mario Sunshine.

    Honestly, it's the hat that makes this game so special. It adds a dynamic to Mario that I've never seen before and it works beautifully within the game. I'm about 100 moons

I'm about 100 moons in at this point and still having a blast. Anyone who says this is much of the same has not been playing the game. It feels reminiscent, but it also feels freshly new.

    It would be difficult to improve on this game. Kudos to Nintendo. Thanks, guys.

    This game have some minor flaws. But the fun factor, replay value and other staff just don't let me give it score lower than 10. I'm 50 hours in and still playing and I still have fun. I wish that sequel will come out and will improve in some things tho. Graphics are great, but music is not on God level as Galaxy games.

    Great game with a ton of content. Graphics are spectacular.
    it has a great open world to explore with a interesting capture ability.
    Best movement options in a game I have ever experienced.
    I'm utterly speechless at how good this game is.

    Well, i can finally say what do i think about this game. I haven't done it yet, but i saw all i need for review.
    So, game is perfect. Its not as good for me as ZeldaBoTW, but mario is still cool.
    it do not have an open-world, but the world is so beautiful, in some condition it ever better. 1080p resolution vs 900p in zelda, and its way more colorful. I was just shocked when i understood

    I was just shocked when i understood that game do not uses all the buttons of controllers, but in hour i realised that they were replaced by motion controls. And a little bit more about gamepads (joy cons and pro controller) abilities, about hd vibration. Its first AAA title on NSwitch using its in that way, you dont need sound while playing you feel the game without it, because the vibration is 10 out of 10.

    I don't think i need to say something more, this game is necessary to try. I think its true 10/10.

    I haven't completed a Mario game since Super Mario 64. I was absolutely captivated by everything Super Mario Odyssey had to offer. There is something undeniably charming about a Mario game that weaves threads of Mario of games past into new ones with such subtlety and ingenuity. I've already completed my first play-through and I am without a doubt ready to play it again.

    This game. THIS GAME. WHERE TO START!?

    This game is magical. End of story. It’s explore-y aspect is even more prominent than in Breath of the Wild! And this is a Mario game! The story is basic, but WHO CARES!!!??? It’s a Mario game, and even if the story is basic it’s still somewhat different to the “Bowser kidnaped peach go find her” classic.

    The amount of uniqueness and character in this game is overwhelming, and even after you finish the main story, even MORE content is unlocked with these moon rock thingies you can find and activate which spews moons into whatever kingdom (world, essentially) you’re in. (Moons are basically like stars/shine sprites from other games)

    The game starts you off in a rather linear, but awesome area! It’s unique in a sense because it isn’t that basic green grass blue sky w1-1 sort of level we’re used to. It’s almost completely different, and it is called the Cap Kingdom. (Bonneton). once you finish the tutorial section it becomes way more explorable and non-linear. It just shows you the pure scope of this game. Don’t even get me started on the size and possibilities of each kingdom. There are 999 moons to collect in the game. Quick example right there.

    The 8-bit sections are so classic, and probably bring nostalgia to those who played the original Mario Bros for the NES (there is one section very similar to the original arcade game “Donkey Kong). Speaking about classic, there’s a whole kingdom based off of Mario 64 (1995 for the N64) and a costume that looks exactly like Mario’s character model of THAT game, with the low tri model and everything. Pretty cool.

    The boss fights are also unique, and different for a platformer. They aren’t the basic koopalings anymore. They’re the broodals, and I see them as very personalized. I won’t get into them much. (You also fight a realistic dragon at the end of the game which is spectacular).

    You're constantly finding secrets you’d never expect, and rooms filled with surprises. There were so many moments in this game where my jaw dropped, and when my jaw wasn’t hitting the ground, I was smiling broadly.

    The game becomes rather difficult with the unlocked content post game, with some extremely hard challenges, etcetera. Challenges that require you to do precise movements in order to retrieve a moon or two. Again, while I’m on the topic of movement. The amount of movements there are are simply amazing. There are the classic long jump, ground pound, triple jump, wall jump, backwards somersault and side somersault, but now there are the dive, the dive jump, the ground pound jump, the cap throw, the cap jump, the roll, the upward cap throw, the downward cap throw, the spinning cap throw, the cap throw and hold, the homing cap throw, a spin, and even more moves with the new mounts introduced (which I will get to later) but, yeah. That’s a lot of moves. And they can be used to get places you thought you’d never get to. And you get rewarded for going places you never thought you could. It just shows the pure genious design of this game. (This does require practice though)

    Now.. now the mounts. There are 2 new mounts you can control in this game. The jaxi (a very fast, sphinx like jaguar taxi you pay 30 coins to ride) and a motor scooter, or moped. (A fast, drivable scooter found in New Donk City and The Mushroom Kingdom). They are both used for puzzles, and are fun to ride around different areas.

    So... I haven’t even gotten to the main mechanic of this game... capturing. (Or possessing as I would call it) capturing is a basic action you can do by throwing your hat at certain creatures (and sometimes inanimate objects) and once you do, the creature will magically grow a moustache, obtain mario’s signature hat and put blue eye contacts in, and you now have complete control over it and it's abilities. Pretty sweet, if I do say so myself. This mechanic is used TONS throughout the game with TONS of different things to capture, including and not limited to a huge piece of meat.

    Now here comes a feature I wasn’t to keen on, but loved. Costumes. You can get them in all kingdoms with a full sized crazy cap shop, and they are so fun. (You can get them other ways, too) They are just (take the “just” lightly) ways to dress up your personalized Mario.

    In short best game ever. Buy it. I wish the smaller kingdoms like the ruined kingdom, cloud kingdom and lost kingdom could be slightly expanded upon with no cost, but you can’t get everything you want in life.

    Finished this game tonight.
    I was skeptical, but I loved it all.
    It’s easy, but it doesn’t need to be difficult to be great. And once you finish it you are greeted with a much larger game than before. You can go nuts collecting every single moon, and there are tons, plus achievements (which could have been linked to the nintendo occount, this is really the only problem I have with the game)

The game-play is really fun, Mario controls smoothly, the move-set is great, and Cappy is a great addition to this game. When I first started playing this game, I felt a spark in my heart and I was extremely happy to be playing this game. The final boss was amazing. Capturing Bowser was unexpected for. The ending wasn't very great, but it was pretty hilarious. Seeing Mario comfort Bowser after both of them being rejected by Peach made me giggle a bit. Buy this game, It's amazing and I think you'll enjoy it as much as I did. Expand

    Unlike more recent popular gaming titles, Super Mario Odyssey has so much more to do.
    The difficulty starts out pretty easy in the beginning so you can master the controls. Closer to the end is where more complicated things start to appear and the final area is near impossible.
    If you are devoted, you can easily put in over 100 hours of fun into this game.

Bowser kidnaps the princess, this time so he can force her to marry him, and it's Mario's job to stop him. The graphics really show off what the Switch is capable of, there wasn't any noticeable slowdown in handheld or docked mode. The only problem is that this game drains your battery fast, and after about 2 hours of gameplay, I went from 100% to 30%. The music is fantastic, some of the best music Mario has ever offered. The game is easy to control and as you play, you will learn all the tricks you can do to maneuver Mario around. The worlds in this game are unique and fun to explore, I think my favorite was New Donk City. The enemies in this game are very well designed, with new and returning characters for Mario to possess with his hat, all of which are very fun to use. My only real issue with the game is that it's very easy, the lives have been taken out and instead you lose 10 coins every time you die. In fact, it's actually impossible to get a game over the game will just keep you at 0 coins if you lose them all. This isn't really a bad thing because I died a lot. But at the same time, I felt there was no real penalty for dying. Overall, it's quite a masterpiece that I think everyone will enjoy. Expand

    With its sandbox-like levels evocative of Super Mario 64 and its new novel "CAPture" mechanic, Odyssey successfully mixes the old with the new.

    I had wonderful time playing Super Mario Odyssey and while I completed the main story fairly quickly there are still many many power moons to find and secrets to uncover. The game is not particularly difficult, however the challenge comes in the form of collecting all of the power moons which act as a fuel powering the Odyssey, a ship that takes you from place to place in the world. Some of the power moons can be found just lying around in plain sight while others require a lot of effort. And these things are EVERYWHERE! It really makes you want to explore every nook and cranny of the levels as you may be rewarded for your efforts.

    Control wise there are a lot of different ways you can play Odyssey. The game nudges you in the direction of detached Joy-Con, but you don't need to use this control scheme to get the full experience. I usually play using both Joy-Con in the grip and do just fine.

    The "CAPture" mechanic mixes things up from the usual Mario fare offering some really unique opportunities for interacting with the environment and enemies. In one level you might have to scale a tall structure by taking control of a little seed creature that can extend its legs very high letting you get to otherwise unreachable places. At another time you might be taking control of a tank and laying waste to your enemies. This variety makes the game feel varied and interesting.

    The world of Super Mario Odyssey is split up into Kingdoms each with their own unique enemies, styles or climates. You will want to explore all of these as they are beautiful to behold and cleverly designed. A lot of loving detail is packed in the worlds as you will find nods to classic Mario games and fun secrets. One of my favorite features of Odyssey are the 2-D segments that are found in unexpected places.

    One interesting aspect of Odyssey is the customizability of Mario's wardrobe. Each kingdom that Mario visits offers up the opportunity to buy an outfit that goes along with the locale. And the outfits aren't just for looks, in some cases a certain outfit can help you complete quests for power moons.

    I could go on and on about Super Mario Odyssey and while I have talked a lot about the game there are so many more interesting things waiting to be discovered. in the end I highly recommend Odyssey to anyone who owns a Switch. You will not be disappointed.

    I'm not sure why I won't give it a 10. It really was quite delightful. It wasn't that it was too easy. I think I just wanted the main campaign to be a little longer. I love all the post-game content. It just wasn't enough to keep me hooked because I didn't feel I was truly "progressing" anymore. Still, a very solid entry in the series.

It does something really great while completely ignoring others. And it is the franchise that better shows you what Nintendo is. They are never really designing a videogame for a specific audience. They are doing it for everyone. While that shouldn't be a bad thing, it just is. They make a very nice game for everyone, that at the same time feels like it is not enough for someone.
    This was the first time I felt I'm not into Mario that much anymore. So I guess this game is not that great. It still is great, but I wouldn't mind if I had not played it. Still give it a 9, because it it is very good for what it is and if you like platformers you're still in for the best the genre has to offer. At least in terms of mechanics and charm. I just think Mario needs to be more and this game should have had more to it. I wanted to smile or laugh at what was going on, but I just couldn't. I've played worse games that made me laugh more. I am a bit tired of pretending I want to enjoy more of a game just because it's a Nintendo game. Odyssey is full of filler content. And people praise it for having a whole game after you finish it. That is not what happens... at all. You just get more moons and 2 more kingdoms that are just bad excuses to repeated content, mostly. If Nintendo was not a money-sucking company maybe I wouldn't mind so much. But as it is, while you can play a great game such as this one, you shouldn't be praising it as much. Nintendo doesn't invest in powerful hardware because people don't want it as they say. They do it so they can make more money with the consoles they sell. This game made me feel that more than ever. Props to Sony. They make money, but not trying to rip us off as much, while still delivering great imaginative new games and IPs. I kinda regret buying a Switch instead of a PS4, even though Zelda was worth it, kind of. Still. I don't like Nintendo anymore, just some of their games, and this game is the perfect sum of what they are, even if everyone is blinded because they did something different like Breath of the Wild...

The worlds feel very different and unique, the small, more platforming oriented mini areas are fun with hidden moons included, and this game is just all around a joy to play.

It felt boring, and bland. How could something so epic be something so boring and bland? After many years after trying to replay the game, I tried out something different. As after my first time beating Odyssey, I attempted to find as many stars as possible, making all the fun and interest in the world go to waste. I learned that in order to enjoy Odyssey again, I should explore at my own pace. I started to move on to different worlds once I wondered around. And you know what, it worked. I never had as much fun in Odyssey, until I started to learn to enjoy the game. And once I finished it, it really did make me glad I finished it. Odyssey is such a unique game. The amount of style is unmatched. While Odyssey is not my favorite Mario game, it sure is one of the best. You just need to learn to enjoy the game. Only three things I can complain about are simply the game being easy, that there should be more to do after the game ends, and that the story does not grab me as other games such as Super Mario Galaxy did. Mario Odyssey is just another example of how unique the 3d Mario games are. The only thing to note is that in order to enjoy the game, you need to enjoy the game! Not overwhelmingly focused on getting the moons and beating the game as fast as possible. Playing Odyssey reminded me that you need to see games like you were a kid again, not focused on all of the challenges, but by letting your curiosity go on. Expand

    The only Con so far is the "motion controls" that are not option-able. They are not required, however they are apart of the gameplay, Otherwise you are just jumping and throwing your hat.

    Pros: Great level's, in-depth secrets, replayability, music.

    I would of given this a 9/10 however the required motion controls knocked it down one for me, it really limits the switches "pick up and go" style.

If they actually took the time to play the game and follow its story and mechanics you would see its no where near that. The game mechanics are top notch along with the game play...THAT IS ABOUT IT! The story IS GARBAGE! Not to mention alot of really bad glaring issues that break the story...1 you cant breath on the moon but lets over look that...2 on the last level you are excaping a collapsing moon? then when you get out your on the moon and everythign is all of a sudden fine? THE ****

    Like i said the game play n mechanics are great but it completely **** on Mario lore and story...so no a perfect game would have ZERO issues....THAT is a 10/10 or 100...but just giving it a 10/10 or 100 for the sake of it being a new Mario or Nintendo game? COMMON PEOPLE! Its a solid 8

    Pros:
    + Gameplay: Masterfully executed within every kingdom. There was more variety in the gameplay of Odyssey than in previous Mario games.
    + Soundtrack: I'm probably alone on this, but Odyssey's soundtrack is the best Mario has ever had. Galaxy's soundtrack can't come near this in my opinion.
    + The Kingdoms: I personally LOVED every single Kingdom. Whether it's for the beautiful setting or the minigames, they all had a LOT of charm.
    + The Objectives: While there are a number of effortless moons, they are excusable since they are OUTNUMBERED by the better moons (unlike Korok Seeds that require ZERO effort to obtain other than looking up a guide because BotW does a poor job with Korok Seeds).
    + The Graphics: While not the best I've seen, they are definitely THE BEST Nintendo ever pulled off. The graphics alone pulled me into the game.
    + The Bosses: Ok, maybe the Broodals might not be the best bosses in a game, but at least they aren't Blight Ganons. All the other bosses, however, made me actually have to try. Plus, the bosses are unnecessarily AMAZING.
    + The Ending: This might be a controversial statement, but I loved the ending of Odyssey. Yep, I said it.
    + Camera Mode: Why isn't this in every game?

    Con:
    - Nose Physics: It's so minor that I don't know if I could even call it a nitpick, but it ruins pictures sometimes.

    Overall, like I said above, this game is a SOLID 10/10, my GotY from 2017, and my personal favorite Game of all Time. I have never experienced this kind of fun before in my life.

Mario Odyssey tries really hard to go back to its roots and capture the free for all sandbox design of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine while using floatier physics like Super Mario Galaxy. On the topic of movement, it's wonderful in this game. Using your new hat partner Cappy to jump is satisfying. The new ball roll is extremely quick and fun. The return of the dive last seen in Sunshine, while not as versatile, is a nice addition. Overall movement feels like the best it's ever been because it combines elements of every 3d Mario game. I think that last sentence there best describes how I feel about Odyssey. It is one big mashup of every major 3d game but doesn't really do anything new. I'll try to highlight this in the next topic: the kingdoms of Odyssey.

    The kingdoms are fine. The level design overall pretty low in quality compared to the other Mario games. Take Pinna Park from Sunshine. It's a complete joy to jump and run around the park because of the rides there complete Sunshines wonderful movement. In Odyssey, the kingdoms feel very typical. Non are really groundbreaking and amazing, the only exception being The Metro Kingdom. The Runied Kingdom and the Cloud Kingdom are disappointing. They're only existence is for boss battles and they contain 7 moons total(most of which are easy to get). I don't understand why Nintendo couldn't have made these kingdoms fleshed out, they honestly feel incomplete. That's not to say the level design of the kingdoms is bad, they're just decent.

    The moons in the game are very similar to shrines in Breath of the Wild. Few of them are challenging to get and feel like a reward, while the majority of them are just kinda sitting there or have a glowing clue to there presence. The number of moons is staggering there are 836 of them. However, this brings up the debate between quantity vs. quality. Odyssey is a very easy game so getting most of these moons is extremely easy. The quality in receiving 120 shine sprites in say Sunshine is higher because it offers more of a challenge getting those shine sprites. Bigger isn't always better. This also goes for the sandbox nature of the games. It tries too hard to be a playground of fun like 64. This game is not truly non-linear neither is any 3d Mario game, so if you're looking for that experience you won't find it here. Mario works best in a linear fashion, that's why the galaxy games are great. Odyssey has barren worlds minus New Donk City, which is a lot of fun. While the music is excellent in levels in Lake and Seaside Kingdom swimming controls are significantly worse than any other 3d Mario(at least the cheep cheep capture ability solves this) The post game opens up a lot of these easy to collect moons. It makes the game fillied with mediocre content. One of the post game kingdoms hoever is a lovley callout to a previous Mario game but I don't want to spoil it.

    This ties into the capture ability of Mario Odyssey. Sure it is a lot of fun becoming a frog, fireball in Luncheon, and the gust blowing enemy in Shiveria, but is it a groundbreaking fundamental? Compared to the spin from Galaxy and Fludd from Sunshine no it's not. This ties back to level design. The level design of Odysseys predecessors complimented the gimmicks each new game introduced. Most of the time the capture abilities are only used to get to a new platform or for a grand set piece. Compared to the tricks you can do with Fludd and the spin manipulating panels in Galaxy there is no moment in Odyssey where I say wow this use of the capture ability is genius and revolutionary. By no means is the capture ability bad in fact it has a lot of potentials to become better and it's a lot of fun. It would be even better if the levels were designed around using it in smarter ways.

    The graphics in Odyssey are wonderful. The style is a true joy to the eyes. The story is competent for a Mario game, it's much better than Galaxy 2's and Sunshine's. The music is excellent with the best being Seaside Kingdom's bossa nova feel. And the bosses are decent but the final boss is one of the better Mario final bosses in recent memory.

    The mini 2d sections are so minute that they don't matter that much. They're cool neat additions. The attention to detail when a bullet bill goes from 3d to 2d is astonishing, however, compared to 2d Mario games, Mario kinda controls like crap.
    I won't spoil but the bonus for 100% completion is very very disapointing.

    Overall Super Mario Odyssey is a very fun and decent game. However, it lacks some of the awe and polish other 3d Mario's set before it. I'd definitely recommend this game to anyone who wants to have a good fun 3d platformer and who has enjoyed Mario's previous 3d outings.

The ability to use Mario's dynamic acrobatic move-set to go anywhere and do anything. Super Mario Odyssey has that in spades.

    And in Mario Odyssey, the places you can go and the actions you can take are all worth exploring which keeps you peeking around every bend for the next hidden treasure. No game in recent memory has filled me with more warmth and pure joy than Mario Odyssey. It is a love letter to all that Mario is and has been while also flipping the formula upside down. I honestly can't imagine not having Cappy in future installments as he opens up infinite gameplay possibilities for the future. Do yourself a favor and play Super Mario Odyssey. It truly is a masterpiece.

    Awesome game, it takes a spin on the old galaxy formula and does it right.

    Shame nintendo keeps forgetting PC is a thing.

    Switch is a bad console.

    This is how You make platform game. You can release new "Pro" consoles with more power, you can put millions of dollars into graphic or something. But then people that make Mario just say "screw that, we will focus on game play and provide simple yet estetic graphic".

    And they did it. There is so much in this game and so many thing you can do if You are clever enough it's insane. I truly do not remember when last time I played something this good.

    Story is simple. Yet again, Bowser kidnap princess that is always in another castle. And Your job is to get her back.

    Graphic and sound are great. They are not jaw droping but Nintendo consoles were always about games itself and not much about power. Still game look very nice and "mario like".

    Story - well story is really simple.

    Level design is AMAZING. You will find here everything and you will always discover something new. Like that you can throw a hat, make it spin and jump on it to launch yourself to places you were thinking are unreachable.

    And you can be a TREE!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am just lost for words. How am I going to start this?

    I currently have 526 moons within 1 week of play purely because I couldn't put the game down. Infact, I am actually trying to slow down because I don't want it to end just yet.
    From my first moments of playing, it is evident to me and probably most of the people who have played this that Nintendo have gone all out with this to give us what we wanted.
    I personally haven't seen a game with this much excitement, attention to detail and personality in a very long time. Probably since Banjo-Kazooie on the N64. I am STILL discovering new areas and secrets! There is just a mindblowing amount of things to do in this game and I've had a smile on my face the whole time.
    In terms of longevity, if you are gathering moons just to unlock each world with the occasional extras you stumble across, you will most likely finish the main game with around 150-200 moons from memory, out of the massive total of 880 moons that are waiting to be found. That's not even a quarter of the game!

    The game is insanely fun and it holds a very even challenge while being fair, but also challenging the people who want to play further or to the end.
    The best part is, it's fresh throughout its entirety and looks stunning. You will always be wanting to explore and discover new things since every world has its own style and characteristics. Consistency is at an all time high as there is not a single point where the game starts to hit a downfall (cough yooka-laylee)

    If you have a switch, there is no reason to avoid getting Mario Odyssey. It will have you hooked for hours. I've marked it as a 10 since its a 9.8 from me. Literally the only thing that drops it from a perfect 10 is how easy it is to get a lot of the moons. In saying that, there are so many well hidden and challenging moons that make up for it. Since the game is incredibly fun, the easy factor doesn't really become a major issue.

    I'm calling it. This is my favourite 3D Mario game ever. Not Mario 64, Not Mario Sunshine, Not Mario Galaxy, but this. It has the DNA from every one of them.
    Eventhough all those games are fantastic as well, I personally think that this is the pinnacle now and also a key indicator for other developers to take notes on how a successful platformer should be.
    Much love Nintendo :)

    This title truly became enjoyable for me only in post-game. Most of the pre-Bowser content is so easy that there is no sense of accomplishment at all - and there is even an easier mode with more guidance!

I never expect Mario games to be very hard due because they're targeting a broad audience, but compared to previous main entries this one was just too easy during the first 10 hours.

    Now, later in the game, for those aiming to get all the moons, it gets much more challenging and fun - and sometimes frustrating, too. The good side of that game is that it offers a lot of post-game content and replay value, even for experienced platforming gamers. After 30 hours of playtime, I collected about 2/3 of all the moons and I'm still having a lot of fun with the game. I'm recommending this one for everyone, but most gamers will likely have to spend several hours before getting into the fun stuff.

    The way the game manages to weave together so many different play styles while still retaining a core consistent feel and quality is remarkable. Every "capture" mechanic is as creative and well-refined as the last, ensuring that what could have been a disjointed gimmick in a lesser game instead repeatedly offers unique and clever variations on platforming and puzzle solving.

    Playing as Mario himself is as simultaneously tight and fluid as ever and the way some levels transition between 2D and 3D platforming really showcases the best the series has to offer in every dimension.

    All of the different kingdoms are intriguing and beautiful with tons of secrets to find and space to explore. The different costumes you can collect inject a humorous customization aspect and provides plenty of extra incentive to keep playing and collecting long after the credits roll.

    Super Mario Odyssey is a masterpiece and manages to stand out and leave a mark even in a franchise crowded with masterpieces.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. By far the best Super Mario game. I've played all of them and this one is awesome. The story is incredible and the ending is awesome. Even when you finish the game there is so much to do. Such as revisiting kingdoms to collect more power moons and playing mini games. You can even customize Mario and the odyssey. They also make coins useful in this game. It can be used as currency to buy stuff and you loose 10 coins when you die. There are also purple coins that are unique to each stage which can be used to customize Mario and the odyssey. The most comparable came to Super Mario Odyssey is Super Mario Galaxy. The game takes so many traits from Galaxy, sunshine and 64. For example the health bar from Galaxy, cappy-less stages like flood-less stages from sunshine, and the fact that you can change into the old 64 Mario model in the mushroom kingdom is absolutely awesome. there are so many 64 references that you have to play to have the full experience.

It is an amazing game and I don't see why being easy is bad. The game has a high skill ceiling. Well, first I'll explain what a skill ceiling is. A skill ceiling is a point where any improvements you make are unnoticeable. And it's awesome how assist mode works. I've played through the game twice, once with the assist and once without it, and it does really help. It's the only switch game I play now, and I literally haven't taken out its gamecard since I got the game. I literally got up, applauded, and whistled at the credits, and it's seriously cool. I love the sheer amount of content, and describing how amazing this game is would take well over 5000 characters. Let's run through what you can and can't do here. THIS IS THE PART WITH SPOILERS!

With previous installments of 3D Mario games taking a more linear approach (Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 3D World), Super Mario Odyssey charts a new, yet familiar, direction by encouraging players to explore large sandbox levels packed with collectibles. Not only are there Power Moons (the main collectible in the game) scattered everywhere in each level, there are also coins one can use to purchase clothing, and purple coins to purchase level specific materials. The new and main mechanic of the game is using Mario's hat and companion, Cappy, to take over enemies and utilize their abilities to further explore and discover each area. The game also allows players to play at their own pace and to control the extent of their exploration. If the player explores and takes risks they are rewarded with Power Moons, coins, and extra challenges. Don't expect anything new story-wise (this is a Mario game after all). The focus is the game play and level design; and they are both phenomenal. If you are a fan of Super Mario 64 and the several 3D platform collectible games that are like it, Super Mario Odyssey is cut from the same cloth and you will enjoy it.

    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.
