    Great fun. Definitely one of the best games and probably my favourite mario platformer. Music's great. Bosses are a bit easy sometimes but it's hard to not love everything about this game. The new donk city level could be expanded into a whole game with the amount of ideas it introduces. Just go play it.

    Esta es una de las entregas culminantes de Mario y, sin embargo, por primera vez quedó algo opacado por un Zelda con Breath of the Wild al salir ambos en 2017, aunque no dejase de vender a mansalva. Pero Super Mario Odyssey fue, de nuevo, un Mario que renovó los juegos de plataformas, llevando el género a nuevas cotas de excelencia.

    Lo primero que habría que señalar es que Super Mario    Esta es una de las entregas culminantes de Mario y, sin embargo, por primera vez quedó algo opacado por un Zelda con Breath of the Wild al salir ambos en 2017, aunque no dejase de vender a mansalva. Pero Super Mario Odyssey fue, de nuevo, un Mario que renovó los juegos de plataformas, llevando el género a nuevas cotas de excelencia.

    Lo primero que habría que señalar es que Super Mario Odyssey retoma los plataformas 3D más basados en la exploración, siendo uno de los Mario más cercanos al género de aventuras, contando con NPCs y tiendas, a diferencia de las anteriores entregas más vinculadas a los plataformas lineales. Es decir, es una vuelta al estilo de Super Mario 64 y Super Mario Sunshine, en los cuales el objetivo no era llegar a una meta en cada nivel sino encontrar una estrella o un sol y luego regresar a encontrar otras. Los dos Super Mario Galaxy, así como Super Mario 3D Land y Super Mario 3D World, recuperaron la linealidad de los Mario 2D, por lo que tras muchos años Super Mario Odyssey vuelve a los Mario centrados en la exploración y, es más, se profundiza como nunca en esto, reforzando su estructura de collectathon. Esta vez no se sale del nivel al encontrar el objeto en cuestión, potenciando la exploración en los diferentes mundos.

    El objeto que necesitamos para avanzar son las energilunas, pero a diferencia de las estrellas y los soles, son muy numerosas. Unas están a la vista mientras que otras están muy escondidas. De esta manera, se crea una dificultad por capas, según el grado de completismo de cada jugador, lo que se incita porque a mayor completismo se puede acceder a más mundos. Es una solución bastante equilibrada para que pueda avanzar en el juego el jugador más torpe y, a la vez, suponer un reto para el más experimentado. Es la primera vez que no hay vidas limitadas en un Mario al estar el desafío en la exploración más que en la superación de niveles.

    Pero sin duda la gran novedad es la de la gorra Cappy. Puede usarse para atacar como un boomerang así como para saltar sobre ella para acceder a plataformas, pero su gran utilidad es la de poder controlar a enemigos y algún objeto, lo que da lugar a una serie de mecánicas originales y variadas, resultando realmente divertido. Por supuesto, la jugabilidad es tan satisfactoria como en cualquier Mario, siendo una gozada simplemente controlar al personaje, lo cuál se potencia esta vez por la riqueza de sus mundos. Las animaciones de Mario son geniales, dotando al personaje de vida, con más expresividad que nunca, y además ahora por mera diversión podemos disfrazar a Mario, contando con trajes tematizados de cada mundo. Existe un modo para dos jugadores pero, como los de Galaxy, es un modesto añadido para que un segundo jugador haga algo, en este caso controlar a Cappy.

    La grandeza de este juego está en sus mundos, llamados reinos. Tenemos 15 reinos, más 2 en el post-game. Teniendo en cuenta que cada uno tiene una estructura de mundo abierto, puede decirse que es una buena cantidad. Pero si uno le encuentra inconveniente a este juego, es que hubiera querido más reinos por lo disfrutables que son, lo cuál habla muy bien del juego. Los Mario siempre han sido largos y éste lo es aunque uno quisiera que lo fuera más, pero su extensión es considerable. Cada reino es vasto, más de lo que nunca lo han sido los niveles en ningún Mario, y perderse y explorar en ellos es una gozada. Además, cada reino se compone de dos partes, puesto que cuando derrotamos al jefe en cuestión, el mundo cambia, pudiendo acceder a nuevas zonas y reexplorarlo.

    El alto nivel de su apartado gráfico hace que cada reino sea espectacular, además de contar con el sobresaliente diseño de niveles marca de la casa. Pero algo a reseñar es la intención de hacer cosas nuevas dentro de un universo que se ha convertido en algo tan cerrado temáticamente como el de los juegos de Mario. Es decir, no nos encontramos con los mismos mundos de siempre, a excepción como homenaje del Reino Champinón y de ciertos guiños como zonas bidimensionales en homenaje al clásico Super Mario Bros (1985). También hay enemigos nuevos, incluso como villanos los Broodals, aunque Bowser siga ahí. La música tampoco se queda en la nostalgia y tenemos una buena cantidad de nuevos temas repletos de personalidad que brillan por su calidad, encanto y originalidad. Una banda sonora que supera las expectativas, a la altura de las clásicas, ¡y esto es mucho decir!

    Esta estructura más abierta puede ser el futuro de los Mario 3D, como ya se mostró en el añadido Bowser's Fury del Super Mario 3D World para Switch, una expansión que se desarrolla en un mundo abierto que muestra cómo podría ser el futuro de la saga.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wasn't sure how a 3D mario game could get any better. The bar was already set so high but every new kingdom I explored just made the game even better. The core story is paced very tightly while still leaving plenty of room for side exploration and new discoveries to be made. Mechanics are finely tuned and superior to all other 3D Mario games I've played and the worlds to explore are simply unmatched.

    Just when I thought of something they could do to improve the game, I discover something so much better than what I thought of and I'm having fun collecting hidden moons long after I've completed the core game. What really is the icing on the cake however is the overall celebration he game delivers for Mario as a franchise. Returning to N64-inspired Peach's castle and completing quests really completes the experience makes this game the ultimate Mario celebration game in my book.

    If you're a long-standing Nintendo/Mario fan, you'll eat this up. If not, you'll probably enjoy the pure fun the game brings to the table anyway.    … Expand

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 Worlds are finally a little bit more imaginative again conceptwise instead of falling back into stereotypes, although there is still a little room for improvement (even weirder concepts for worlds would be amazing). Also the amount of worlds to explore with 10 kingdoms in total (not counting boss-platforms, tutorial worlds, etc) is fairly short, especially compared to other games in the series.

    The music and graphics of the game are straight up amazing though. Very few Switch Games look and sound this good. Not much room for improvement here!

    What I didn't like however was that the main-collectable in this game, "Power Moons", are a little too abundant to be exciting to collect. You receive Power-Moons for anything: Ground-Pounding on a shiny spot, planting a fruit, sitting on a bench... You can easily bypass huge chunks of levels including bosses(!) by just farming Power-Moons and then moving on to the next world. (Some players even reported accidentally skipping bosses due to this issue). The Game's Power-Moon-Counter doesn't even let you collect all the Power-Moons, since it will stop working once you hit 999 Moons. It would be nice to see the number of main-collectables be reduced and have them be a little bit more meaningful again in the next game.    … Expand

    Absolutely great game with unique mechanics, great stylized graphics and a nice and simple linear progression. While (for me) it doesn’t have much replay ability but, that first time playing is absolutely magical. A great game along with BOTW to the switch era of Nintendo games.

    Wow, this game is the closest thing to mario galaxy that has ever been created. The multiple worlds and movement options feel super fresh. The only thing that might drag it down a little is the overworld for me. I do like the globe being the world but it feels too linear to me.

    It's been very long since I played a Super Mario game before, so playing Super Mario Odyssey felt quite refreshing.
    However, Super Mario Odyssey pays homage mainly to the older sandbox Mario games, which I haven't played before, and that made my experience with Odyssey interesting but also slighty... complicated.
    Now, the story, just like in every other Super Mario game, is not important.    It's been very long since I played a Super Mario game before, so playing Super Mario Odyssey felt quite refreshing.
    However, Super Mario Odyssey pays homage mainly to the older sandbox Mario games, which I haven't played before, and that made my experience with Odyssey interesting but also slighty... complicated.
    Now, the story, just like in every other Super Mario game, is not important.
    What's important in a Super Mario game, is the gameplay, and the gameplay in Super Mario Odyssey is the best in any Mario game I've played, and also arguably in any platformer game I've ever played; it's quite crazy, thanks to the excessive amount of different mechanics that sync in well with each other and Mario's moveset.
    Visually, it's one of the better looking platformer games I've seen in the past few years, and the music is surprisingly good as well.
    Additionally, the level design is detailed and creative, and the areas are fun to explore, albeit smaller than I expected.
    Unfortunately though, the story is pretty short and the post-game content is very underwhelming and lackluster.
    Also, the bosses are way too easy and repetitive.
    My biggest gripe with the game, however, is an unpopular opinion. I know a lot of people won't agree with me on that, and that's fine but... I really don't like the progression system in this game; collecting Power Moons to progress through the story is tedious and it brought down the entire experience at times.
    I can somewhat understand why most people like that though.

    Pros:
    + Exciting gameplay
    + Amazing mechanics
    + Beautiful visuals
    + Great level design

    Cons:
    - Short playtime
    - Boring post-game content
    - Bad boss fights
    - Progression system

    Gameplay: 9/10
    Content: ?/10
    Music: 7/10
    Art Style: 9/10

    Final Rating: 8/10
    - Great -
    Super Mario Odyssey is a very well-crafted game and it's arguably one of the better platformer games I've played in a while, but it has some serious annoyances as well.
    All in all, it's a very good game but it's also surprisingly unremarkable and a little bit... disappointing.

    Do I recommend it?:

This is the only game I've ever wanted to 100% just because the mechanics of Cappy and the movement controls were so fluid. The only downside to this game is that there's no DLC or good multiplayer.

The capture mechanic was so interesting and innovative which made it so everytime I played a level I would approach it in a different way. The community that was created is also so intriguing and played a big part in me replaying it over and over again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Basically, imagine every mechanic from previous 3D super mario games all in one game. This is what you get. Being able to throw a cap around is incredible. Honestly, some of the worlds are probably the same size or a little larger than of the worlds from Super Mario 64. If not, then the space of each part of the world is equivalent to 64 and Sunshine and what not but that's probably just a spec issue with the switch that they had to deal with somehow. The worlds are still decently large for exploration. Despite all this, the game has a sense of freedom cause Mario isn't forced to return to a specific spot after grabbing one collectible but rather he just needs to get a "multi-moon" and is then teleported back to the start of the world but this is usually after you fight a boss. The game just feels like a gigantic playground that you wonder in. There's little that is required of you, you just have to follow the path, get past obstacles, and fight a boss. The game has the difficulty of Mario Galaxy, so you won't need Assist Mode unless you're too lost in the game, don't wanna lose 10 coins for every death, or you just miss the large amount of health Mario had. Anyway, there are tons of outfits to choose from in the game, but each require a certain amount of coins. This is the best of Mario and I love it. Not much has changed except Bowser's creative wedding plan but now that Mario's Moveset is expanded, it makes for a nice open-world. No dashing, but there's rolling and long-jumping (and even the famous air dive from Mario 64 DS). There also no punch or kick but at least Mario can beat his enemies thoroughly without a traditional fighting technique. Mario has been moderately under-powered but don't worry because cappy expands his moveset even farther. Allowing Mario to do many tricks and even out-numbering the tricks he can do in previous games. Now you can make up for that extra distance his Long Jump can't cover by just doing an air dive onto Cappy so he can bounce you up for extra air-time. There's so many collectibles to get and so many ways to get them. It's a legendary Mario sandbox and it's peak exploration.… Expand

Cappy makes the game even better, as not only does he allow you to capture certain enemies, replacing power ups in this game, but he also makes your gameplay even more skilled, due to being able to jump on your cap. With this gameplay options, at some points you might just find yourself messing around with the controls, jumping and swinging from area to area like I do.

    The game runs at a smooth 60 FPS, and the visuals are stunning. The landscapes in this game are incredibly detailed and interesting.

    The soundtrack is fantastic, with awesome songs with a variety of different arrangements that combine to create songs that you're sure to come back to.

    The story is pretty basic, but that's not a necessarily a bad thing due to being just a Mario game. There isn't anything wrong with the story either, it's just a lighthearted and fun story that ends with a pretty great ending.

    What's great about this game is that it encourages the player to play how they want to play. You might go through some of the intended route on your first playthrough, but in future playthroughs you'll find yourself going through most of the game your way, which is really fun. Not to mention how replayable this game is. You will find countless of things to do both during and after you complete the main story, including many interesting side quests and several fun minigames.

    Overall, this is an absolute masterpiece from start to finish. If you're planning on getting Switch or already have one, this is the game to get.    … Expand

The biggest original idea introduced here is Cappy a sentient hat that you can use to become various things throughout the game.

    As well the amazing gimmick in becoming things, Cappy adds depth to the platforming and makes this the best controlling Mario we have ever had the privilege to play as. There are a ton of moves at your disposal that you lead into each other such as throwing Cappy midair and then diving into him to get further, and the motion controls don't feel forced they are integrated well into the game so that they fit into Mario's move set well. This game truly feels fun to just mess around in.

    The level design is fantastic but there are two kingdoms Ruined and Cloud kingdom that basically serve as a place to have a boss fight, which I feel is a tad underwhelming given the potential the themes these levels have, a medieval kingdom inspired Mario level is an idea that we have never seen before and I would love to see that idea expanded on further.

    But the rest of the kingdoms are massive open almost play ground like levels where every corner you turn has something new to discover. Levels such as the Sea Side Kingdom and the Sand Kingdom Are massive open spaces that let you go crazy and explore. But levels such as the Snow Kingdom and the Wooded Kingdom are multiple levels in one that you discover by exploring. The game actively encourages exploration, but not in a Metroidvania kind of way as it gives you hints in the map and Cappy's speech.

    The sound track is a mixed bag as some tracks can be somewhat forgettable, the ones that do land correctly will stay in your head for the next week. Songs such as Jump Up Superstar (The main theme) the Shivirea town theme and Steam Gardens are all great examples of video game music composing done right.

    A quick mention to the decorations and clothing you can get as it finally gives coins more of a purpose and the new purple coins make you explore the entire kingdom to its fullest.

    I hope this helped someone pick up this game and I know im a tad late writing this at the end of 2022 but this game is to good not to review.    … Expand

    The best 3D Mario game, it is graphically very beautiful and the gameplay is innovative and fun, in addition to giving rise to many possibilities, especially the mechanics of the hat. The story does not differ with respect to any game in the saga, but the Super Mario saga does not stand out for that. Game for all audiences, but above all a masterpiece for Mario lovers

    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]
