    I was skeptical about Super Mario Odyssey at first, mostly due to the realistic setting bearing similarities to Sonic 06, I thought that this would be the first bad main series Mario game, I have never been so wrong about a game before.

First the soundtrack and visuals are amazing, to say the least. In fact, as of now it is the best looking game on the Switch bar none, though Sonic Mania slightly beats Mario Odyssey in terms of the music. Mario Odyssey’s weakest point is, like most Mario games the story. Summed up it goes like this Bowser kidnap Peach and Tiara the sister of a magic hat named Cappy who Mario has to wear after his normal red cap is torn to bits in the opening cutscene by Bowser. And that leads us to the gameplay and a sandbox Mario game has never felt this good before. Mario controls excellently during normal gameplay with the controls feeling super responsive including the motion controls which had a couple of problems in galaxy. The main gimmick of Mario Odyssey is Cappy who can control enemies, kill enemies and be used as a jump pad which I have yet to use. Cappy when controlling enemies feels like a whole new game that had and equal amount of effort into it as the main game I will leave it at that. There are also 2D sections that aren’t designed well but are so short they dont have time to start getting annoying. You can also buy clothes at a store which dont do much but can be pretty funny to wear. One last criticism I have is that after taking a hit you cant restore health by grabbing a coin which has been a has been in every Mario game that has a health bar up to this point. The main objective getting moons is a blast since each moon either given to the player as an objective or is hidden for veterans to find while wandering around the kingdoms this game has to offer. Mario Odyssey is a great game that is only a few steps from perfect due to some missteps like the 2D sections, story and the life bar mechanics!… Expand

    Every world - called kingdom - is packed with details and gameplay, especially the transformations which replace the power up: Mario can use his cap to take control of various elements or ennemis. It’s technically beautiful, charming, innovative.

    Nintendo made the formula a little bit different this time: the moons you collect can be easy or difficult depending on how far the player wants to go. There are so many... In other words, the player choose the difficulty. It can be frustrating, but the curious ones won’t have any problem looking around.

    The game is enough to justify the Switch. It’s one of those industry changing games that you get every decade or so.    … Expand

    The level design is very refined, making every aspect of a level in Mario Odyssey important in finding new collectables. Mario Odyssey has a fun way of keeping players engaged in new content constantly, there are 3 final bosses and each provide a true challenge. The environments are absolutely beautiful with kicking soundtracks to go with them which causes me and a lot of players to be in the right mood for this game. Mario has a new gameplay feature which is throwing his hat at enemies to control them, this is a smart move because this opens multiple gameplay opportunities for each level. The levels before the final Bowser battle are truly entertaining, and the 2 secret levels that are unlocked after saving peach are true challenges, truly amazing.

    The only thing that keeps this game from getting a perfect 10 is that they reuse a lot of bosses after Bowser is defeated, you have to fight each Broodal a total of 4 times in the game and it gets a little annoying, but this is my only major complaint.    … Expand

    I rarely finish Mario games. A consequence of personally being poor at platforming,

    That said, Mario Odyssey's suite of moves, transformations, colorful playgrounds, and numerous collectables saw me all the way through to credits.
    And what a send off it was! I cannot recommend this game enough!

From The Cascade Kingdom to Moon Kingdom, I mostly had fun the whole way through. Amazing graphics, clever mechanics and enough content to last days. My only complaint is that the game lacks difficulty to entertain past new mechanics and graphics. Other than that, a game I recommend to all fans of Mario.… Expand

    I remember back in the day when I was a young kid, just played Super Mario Bros and got a Nintendo 64 with Super Mario 64 as a christmas gift and how that blew my mind. Super Mario Odyssey wanted to give the same impression and the first impression was strong enough for me to buy Nintendo Switch.

Super Mario Odyssey wanted to give the same impression and the first impression was strong enough for me to buy Nintendo Switch.

    Super Mario Odyssey's story is the same old Mario story: Bowser kidnaps Peach and Mario's the one who has to save her. Nothing new but Mario platformers are not games to play because of the story. It's good enough that you have some motivation to go through the game.

    After WiiU's Mario titles the gameplay in Odyssey has gone to the right direction. You get different sized kingdoms to explore and they differ from each other enough. Some are a little bit bigger with lots of possibilities to explore, other are a little bit smaller and maybe more linear. I liked that kingdoms don't feel like they were copy-pasted from each other. My main issue is that the kingdoms itselves are not connected by one big hub world. The Odyssey ship was kind a cool idea for faster traveling but I feel that SM64/Sunshine styled overworld would've made the exploration better.

    I don't own a pro controller so I played my game using JoyCons. Controlls felt like they were polished but they were too sensitive for my taste. It didn't give me so much trouble in the regular run but in harder post-game missions I got frustrated. For example if there were a narrow path, Mario liked to run in wave motions. I don't know if the problem is with the JoyCons or in lack of my skills but it never felt that i could replicate same actions ever again.

    Music - i just loved it. Especially the festival song. Music are composed well and they fit to the environment. I also liked the jukebox idea that you can pick any music in any part of the game and just roll with it. I stopped to use jukebox when I found out that dying resets the music. I wanted to lift my spirit in some harder parts but opening the jukebox each time you fell out of bounce made the option feel more like gimmick than addition to your experience.

    The search for the power moons was fun but some power moons felt they were there just because. I don't say that there was too much power moons. It just felt that some missions could've left out or maybe it could've been better to make one more kingdom (or that hub world). Also I didn't like how post-game introduced new power moons. All the playthrough I was hoping that I get a new ability that opens older kingdoms in new way. Like in SM64 when you first time find the Red Cap Switch and remember that there was a red box in the Bob-Omb Battlefield. Revisiting older levels isn't a problem if you can feel how you've grown since you were first time there. And lack of that gave me thoughts "Why couldn't this power moon be here from the beginning".

    Also another nitpicking subject: costumes. It was a nice addition to see Mario in different costumes but besides of few hidden power moons they felt pointless. I would give them a pass if possessed enemy would've had the same hat as you were wearing as Mario that time but possessed enemies always had a basic Mario cap. In my opinion there could've been less costumes and some kind of outfit bonus for excisting ones, like Cowboy Mario throws Cappy faster and Caveman Mario can break the rock boxes. Costumes were nice idea but considering how much coins post game costumes cost it just didn't fulfilled the purpose for me.

    But after all nitpickings I've had, I still enjoyed and liked the game. Odyssey took the right steps from WiiU Mario games while keeping some of those elements. I truly enjoyed most of the kingdoms and, while I hated the swimming controls as Mario, my favourite was the Sea Kingdom because how the possessing right enemy can open the world differently. The game have lots of wide open areas to explore and almost always awards the player for exploring. My issues with the controls affect to my whole experience (I hated luring the Banzai Bill) but it won't change the fact that the game itself is great. Odyssey didn't give me the same end impression as SM64 back in the days but the game industry has evolved since then and now I'm older, so it's unfair to even make the comparison.

    Super Mario Odyssey is a great game for the Nintendo Switch. If you own Nintendo Switch, you should buy the game. As a system seller game, I don't think it's as high as Breath of the Wild but still high enough to enjoy playful gameplay and witness the direction what Nintendo is currently taking.    … Expand

Some being very simple to others being a bit more complex to get. The story is pretty basic Bowser takes Peach and you have to save her again like any Mario game. For this game the gameplay and exploration is what makes the game not the story. There are a variety of bosses that are unique. You will have to face the same bridals over and over as you progress through the story. The game is more enjoyable if you try to collect every shop coin and moon. That's were you will get the most out of this game. The last few levels will push your skills and be a bit harder than whats in most of the game. Music is pretty enjoyable and fits each world perfectly. I 100% recommend this game to anyone who has a switch. It can be a simple or complex platformer depending on what Moons you go for and has a joyful atmosphere surrounding it. Took me 85 hours to collect everything. There has been multiple updates since the games release for outfits and for an online mode call Balloon World. Balloon World is were the real challenges come into play. There are some easier challenges but you get to choose how hard they are. I'm sure there will be plenty more updated after this review is posted.… Expand

    Pure joy. No better words to describe this game than pure joy. At first glance, I thought it would be another great Mario game and nothing more. It brings new fresh ideas and wonderful platforming. The vivid colors and constant exploration is perfect. If you have a Switch, you need this. if you don't have a Switch, buy one.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Super Mario Odyssey

    Nach 115h in diesem Spiel bin ich bereit ein Review über dieses Spiel zu schreiben. Bevor dieses Review beginnt möchte ich nochmal anmerken das es nahe zu unmöglich ist komplett objektiv zu sein.

    Story:
    Wer hätte es gedacht Bowser entführt Peach. Und überraschung Bowser will Peach heiraten wie man schon im Trailer sah, ich sags kurz dieses Spiel hat keine Story.

    Musik:
    Wow, ich glaube das die Musik von Odyssey sich den Platz als Lieblingsgamethemes mit Galaxy teilt. Da Musik jedoch ziemlich subjektiv ist sag ich mal auch nichts dazu. (Ich höre grade in diesem Moment Odysseymusik)

    Präsentation:
    Da hat Nintendo mal wieder was aus der Switch rausgeholt, das Spiel sieht schön aus. Alles ist ziemlich detailiert und hat ein hübschen Look, leider muss man sagen dass, das Spiel nur in 900p läuft was mich persönlich jedoch nicht stört, jedoch glaube ich das z.B PC-Spielern das auffallen könnte. Der Grafikstil sieht eigentlich genau so aus wie im jeden anderen Mario aus, schön. Wie in Zelda konnte man wieder mehr oder weniger direkt reinstarten, es gibt kein nerviges Tutorial und ganz ehrlich, wer braucht es? Wirklich jeder wird schon selbst herausfinden das man mit B springt und mit dem Stick laufen kann, außerdem ist das Spiel am einfach sehr Leicht, so sollte das auch kein Problem sein.
    Steurung:
    Lauf, roll, spring oh und spring dann noch mal vom einem zum anderen Turm! Das Moveset von Mario ist Super. Wieso? Weil du dadurch das Spiel komplett anders erleben kannst wenn du es richtig machst. Du kannst zwar ganz simpel den Weg nach ganz oben auf den Turm gehen aber du kannst ein Weitsprung machen, Cappy werfen, ein Hechtsprung machen, noch mal Cappy werfen und nochmal ein Hechstprung machen, dann bist du direkt auf dem Turm und musst kein langen Weg nach oben gehen. Und mein gott macht es Spaß einfach nur herumzulaufen und cool Tricks zu machen. Das einzig nervige ist das du manchmal schütteln musst um einige Sachen zu machen..

    Gameplay: Es ist Mario, laufe und springe, würden die meisten sagen, aber nein genau das ist es eben nicht. Dieses Mario ist endlich wieder ein ganz neuer Move von Mario dazugekommen: Cappy. Und was soll man sagen Cappy erweitert das Spiel um einiges den du kannst mit Cappy Gegner übernehmen. Cappy ersetzt die Items, das heißt: Es gibt keine mehr!
    Und ich finds super! Du musst 120 Monde sammeln um das Spiel durchzuspielen, 500 für das Finale Level und 850 für die 100% (Kaufmonde nicht einberechnet). Ja das ist verdammt viel. Jedoch muss man ganz ehrlich sagen das Monde keine Sterne sind sondern viel spaßiegere Krogs, man kann sie überall in der Welt finden manchmal musst du ein ganzes "Level" für sie machen, manchmal liegen sie aber auch einfach auf dem Weg. Es gibt selten Monde die wirklich nervig sind im gegenteil fast jeder einzelnder Mond fühlt sich einfach gut an und ist nicht unbedingt schwer aber gut versteckt.

    Fazit: Wenn ihr ne Switch kauft euch auf jedenfall das Spiel, wenn ihr keine habt kauft euch ne Switch und das Spiel, wenn ihr kein Geld habt, klaut euch sie. Das Spiel ist super hat kleine Fehler, aber sie fallen fast nie auf. Das Spiel bekommt definitiv mein Kaufempfehlung.

    The new Mario is creative, fresh, and revolutionary. It twisted anything that remained stale and old on a platformer game, and presented this new way to play a Mario game. The only qualm that I have about this game is that it was a bit short.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For a while now I have felt that Mario games were getting stale. They were always fun though since the Galaxy games every new entry felt the same with little creativity. Well it seems as though Nintendo finally let out their crazy ideas at once for Super Mario Odyssey as it is the most creative and wacky Mario game in ten years. To start, Super Mario Odyssey is a game that is simply pure fun. It is the modern day Super Mario 64 with tons of collectibles, great music, and colorful environments. The main thing that makes Mario Odyssey great is how fun it is to control Mario. He has many of the moves from past games such as the triple jump, long jump, and dive. But the thing that really adds more to this installment is the new hat character Cappy. Cappy allows Mario to make insane jumps and control his enemies making exploring each Kingdom exciting and unique from one another. The game's main story is short which may be disappointing though I feel the game really gets going after the final boss as each area gets filled with more power moons to collect and even a post game kingdom longtime fans are sure to love. Some of the areas in this game are undoubtedly the best in the Mario series. The best kingdoms are the largest ones such as New Donk City, Steam Gardens, Tostarena, and Mount Volbono. Though some Kingdoms are lackluster due to their small size and lack of areas to explore. There is one kingdom in particular later in the game that looked really unique aesthetically though there weren't many things to do in it which I felt was a really missed opportunity. There are some areas in this game where I felt Nintendo could have done more with.Super Mario Odyssey is probably the first game that really shows of what the Switch can do. The power moons are quick enough to get individually for handheld play but also satsfying to collect for long play sessions on the TV.. I also believe playing with the detached Joy cons is the best way to enjoy the game as they allow quick movement and allow you to target your cap throw to enemies, objects and collectibles. Overall, Super Mario Odyssey is the most fun Mario game since the Galaxy games. It returns to the sandbox style of Mario 64 which makes the game feel familiar but the surprises of the kingdoms and capture abilities gives a much needed breath of fresh are for a franchise that was starting to feel generic.… Expand

    Sin embargo no todo juego es perfecto siempre tendrán sus fallos y en este caso el que encontré fue el del multijugador offline, que aquí esta desaprovechado, no te sientes en cooperativo y eso siempre a sido un punto fuerte de la saga, el poder jugar con tus amigos superando niveles de plataformas, castillos, desafíos y demás, aquí en este juego esta muy desaprovechado y es muy mediocre, lo cual es muy triste ya que aunque si se puede jugar de dos jugadores, el segundo esta muy limitado ya que hasta el primer jugador puede hacer las mismas funciones del segundo, haciendo que no haya una experiencia cooperativa de verdad y que con este material hubiese sido muy genial ya que hay mucho por explotar.
    Hasta aquí mi análisis del mejor juego del año sin duda, tiene un merecido (9.5/10)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game. In my opinion, it is the best Mario game of the franchise. All of the kingdoms are quite lovely and offers a great variety places to explore. It is what I consider to be the true sequel to Super Mario 64 from the Nintendo 64 era. Though, the main story is quite short and easy and can be completed in around an hour, that isn't what makes this game amazing. So if you're someone who doesn't like collectathons and trying to get every little thing then this game might not be for you, but for someone who loves to 100% games then this game will be perfect for you. There are over 850 moons in the game (maxing out at 999 moons including the ones you buy from the shops infinitely) and most kingdoms have regional coins which you collect to buy stickers or props for your Odyssey (usually 50 or 100 regional coins per kingdom). The game is NOT perfect in any way, and that's the only reason why it doesn't get a 10 from me. Just to say though, that is not a bad thing to say about a fantastic game like this, I want games that are not perfect already as it'll give room for improvement in the next lineup in Mario games. You will get a TON of hours out of this game, as I currently have around 700 moons and already have 52 hours into the game. Solid game, definitely worth the $60 you must pay for it.… Expand

I recently got the Nintendo Switch with Super Mario Odyssey, and I loved this game. So, let's see why it's so good.

    Level Design

    Almost every level in this game is gold. From sand kingdom's sprawling expanses to metro kingdom's hustle and bustle to luncheon kingdom's food -themed delight, every new kingdom holds a new suprise.

    Mechanics

    Cappy is a wonderful addition to the cast of this game, and as mario's companion, he has a lot of cool moves. my personal favorite is his ability to possess many of the game's enemies. controling timeless enemies like the Goomba, Bullet Bill and Chain Chomp is a blast, and many of the boss fights are desinged with this mechanic in mind.

    Story

    This game's story is pretty basic. Bowser has kidnapped Peach so that he can marry her, and Mario and Cappy have to stop him. over the course of the game he steals many wedding-related items from the kingdoms, such as a ring from the Sand Kingdom, a Dress from the Lake Kingdom, and so on.

    Conclusion

    I'd say this game is very, very good. the only problem that I have with it is that it's maybe a little too easy, and by that I mean the actual story part of the game is a little to easy, but that's about it. thanks for reading my review. bye!    … Expand

I would love to see some actual plot from one of these types of games. I do enjoy just running around different kingdoms and trying to jump from x position to y position to see if it's possible, and it is fun, but after you have collected every single power moon in the game, that's all you can really do, besides starting a new game. This game does have its replay values though. If you have a Nintendo Switch, Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey are a must have. I think overall 2017 has been a great year for Nintendo, and I would love to see more games like this come out for the Switch.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I absolutely loved this game, but a few flaws (and the extreme frustration of Darker Side) made me give it a 9.

    Cons:
    1: Difficulty
    Now, I had no problems with how the game is too easy and I think that it was a medium challenge (but I am slightly sad that there aren't higher difficulties, but most Mario games don't have them, so I ignore this) but then Darker Side has to come and frustrate me beyond belief with no checkpoints and a pretty difficult challenge.
    2: inconsistencies:
    I had a few small problems with this through my playthrough, like how I throw the cap, hold Y and dive but I don't dive, or how I clipped through a wall as one of those cloud things in the Snow Kingdom (or the Ice Kingdom, I forgot its name) when the other side of the wall that it was part of was fine. Honestly, these barely impacted me, but I decided to mention them anyways.

    Pros:
    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.: Basically everything else:

    It is an understatement to say that I loved this game. The art style, the music, the gameplay, and the content level (most importantly the gameplay) were all things that made me come back for weeks after I got the game with the Switch along with Splatoon 2 (I never played Splatoon 1, and Splatoon 2, or Spla2n as I jokingly call it, is also great) and also get more games for the Switch, like Arms and Darkest Dungeon!
    Summary:
    I really loved the game and you should get it.    … Expand

But if you only go for the ending then you are missing out on an amazing package of charm and fun and it does make this game a bit of a "its not the destination its the journey" type games this would be a bigger problem if the journey wasn't so much fun there are so many new races or species or whatever. The controls where perfect and I felt at no time that when I died it was the game's fault when I died I felt like I made a mistake. Speaking of controls I found the motion controls pretty fun as well but this is probaly because I used the sperated JoyCons and not the ProControler so if you want to use a ProControler then you probally wont enjoy them as much the ideal way to play is with the JoyCons. There is something that gives the games controls the extra step to being perfection is Cappy. In this game your new sidekick is the hat ghost thing Cappy. With a press of the Y button or a flick of the JoyCon you can toss out your Felt Friend and grab coins and kill small baddies. The reason he only kills small foes is because when thrown at a normal sized enemies is that when Cappy is thrown at them he will "Capture" them, but its more like possesion because you go inside there bodies and take control of there brains. This adds a fun new twist onto gameplay and makes some fun boss battles based around these Captures. Another thing you can do with Cappy is when he is thrown you can dive onto him which will give you a bounce then you can dive again to get some serious style points this can used to get to seemingly impossible areas. How about the worlds you use these controls in well they are fairly compact with tons of moons they really remind me of Banjo Kazzoie but with like way more jiggys they are fun to traverse and have memorable NPCs and locals. All around I would say Mario Odyssey is my favorite game of 2017 even more than Breath of the Wild… Expand

    Extremely well thought through mechanically just like Zelda BOTW or Maria Wii. Feels like all the best bits of Maria in one, especially with the throwback challenges. Only negative is the longevity. Only 12 worlds means I completed it in less than 10 hours.

Being Nintendo the game looks amazing, great detail and vibrant colours make this a very unique Mario game. It also has very unique levels for a 3d platformer; you go to a black and white hat world, to a mechanical jungle, to a japenese fortress, to the moon! The character Cappy introduces a really clever gameplay style. Capturing enemies is fun and every capture is used in an interesting way. There are so many moves and manoeuvres to explore the great levels. The bosses are also pretty good for Mario, special mention to the Broodal mech and final bowser fight. In conclusion an amazing start for Mario on the switch. Let’s hope it just gets better from here.… Expand

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...    … Expand

    Mario is joined this time on his adventure by Cappy, a sentient hat-being that lives on Mario’s head. He can throw Cappy like a boomerang to retrieve coins, or use Cappy as a platform to jump higher and further than ever before. Plus, a second player can join in the fun by controlling Mario’s hat similar to the Lumas in Super Mario Galaxy. In single player mode, Cappy feels like F.L.U.D.D. from Super Mario Sunshine with an upgraded personality. This becomes apparent when trying to defeat levels without your trusty companion as playing without cappy can feel like a handicap.

    The level design in Super Mario Odyssey is incredible and the music provides plenty of goosebumps with a sense of nostalgia.

The sheer amount of creativity is extraordinary, and the interactivity of these worlds (from side quests to level design) far surpasses and Mario game before this.

    The story is simple- Princess Peach has been kidnapped again and Mario fails to stop him in the beginning. He then teams up with Cappy, who's sister, Tiara, has also been taken. From there on out, you must go to each kingdom, help the people there and gain power moons in order to progress. While the story is simple, this isn't a problem: it isn't meant to be breathtaking, but rather is just there to motivate the player to play and finish the game.

    The gameplay is fabulous- no complaints. Mario platforms like a dream- every hat through and jump does exactly what you tell it to, when you tell it to, and it feels incredible. The other mechanic, besides jumping, is the capture ability. This is also flawless. The game designers completely understand how to make us feel like a Goomba, Hammer Bro, Sherm or even a T-REX! The control scheme is also great- if you have a problem with it, then I seriously don't know what it is.

    Now for music. Koji Kondo has worked his magic once again to give us the most diverse and (in my opinion) the best Mario music to date.

    Get this game. It's awesome. However, no game is perfect, so this gets a 9/10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love this game. It has amazing level design, superb controls, and great graphics that fully realize what Mario is about. These topics are so huge they take separate paragraphs to talk about.

    Level Design:
    The kingdoms in Super Mario Odyssey are beautiful. They all stand out from each other, and everything about them is fully realized. Power moons are on a spectrum of difficulty and there are many sub-areas that are worlds of their own to look at. It has enough linearity to have a good base, while still letting you explore and find things. The fan service is also great too. You can get a Mario 64 outfit, and a Mario Sunshine outfit. You can unlock the Mario 64 courtyard, and the Mushroom Kingdom moons are star-shaped. As a bonus, the Moon Kingdom's purple coins are star bits from Super Mario Galaxy.

    Controls:
    In Super Mario Odyssey, you are introduced to Cappy, a hat that you use to capture different enemies and other NPCs. Cappy can also be used as a bounce in midair. The capture ability allows for superb boss fights. Fights like Knucklotec and Cookatiel are some of the most innovative in Mario history. The controls allow for great speedrunning potential, and I myself have started speedrunning, and it has been the most fun I've had in a game.

    Graphics:
    One look at Super Mario Odyssey and you can tell this is what Mario was meant to be. The game runs at a crisp 1080p60fps, and despite this supposedly being the 4k age, it still looks great. (I'm lazy, so I stopped here)

    Bads: This game isn't perfect. There are some moons, like Volleyball and Jump Rope, which are challenging, but not even fun. This is the only reason this isn't a perfect game.    … Expand

    Odyssey is pure joy. While not as emotionally deep as Galaxy, Odyssey is so absurdly fun. The worlds are deep and simplistic, while still maintaining a complex nature. The music is great, and the gameplay is better. Odyssey brings about that youth-like enthusiasm that we can't bring out in ourselves. Odyssey has a special whimsicality to it that will never be forgotten.

    The best Mario game since Super Mario 64. The gameplay builds on its predecessors and adds new and exciting feature like Cappy and the ability to become enemy characters. The using the joy-cons to control Mario takes a bit of a curb but is much more entertaining than using a regular controller. The music is the best of the series, with a lot of songs that just put a smile on your face.

However Nintendo did an amazing job getting back on track with their brand new sidekick: Cappy! Cappy was able to be used in a variety of different ways such as platforming and capturing enemies. Second, the BEAUTIFUL Soundtrack. While it doesn't surpass Super Mario Galaxy's Soundtrack (in my opinion) the Soundtrack is stellar, my favorites are Jump Up Superstar and Cascade Kingdom. My only criticism for the game is that there is not enough of a penalty for failure, while the base gamemode is Great, I wish they had a "Hardmode" where every time you died, you lost a life instead of 10 coins. That is the only thing holding my review back from a 10/10. Great Job Nintendo!… Expand

To put that in perspective, i never thought that Nintendo would EVER put out a Mario title to surpass Sunshine. Yet, they have done it. The games graphical style is varied and filled with whimsy, and the same can be said about the score. Almost everything about this game is pure perfection. Almost.
    I only had one real gripe with my time with Odyssey. The role the motion controls play is far too prevalent. There is a setting to "turn off" motion controls but then you're advanced movement mechanics are essentially wiped out. I could very well be a bumbling idiot and just not be able to find button combinations for these mechanics, but, in my defence, those combinations should not be hard to find.
    With all that said, Super Mario Odyssey is a milestone in modern gaming and will be revered for years to come. It is an instant classic.

EachSuper Mario Odyssey is an awesome game, and it's a loveletter to everyone who's been playing Mario since back in the day. The controls and movement are smooth as butter, tight, and so satisfying. This game goes right up there with 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy, taking the super fun 3d Mario mechanics and refining them, and then going all in on the level design and exploration elements. Each kingdom you visit has its own charm with so many things to discover and have fun with. The music, the graphics, the controls, the gameplay, it's all so so good. Each kingdom is completely full of content and someone going through for the first time will find dozens of hours in it to explore everything. No idea how they'll top this with the next 3d Mario.

    There are a couple small reasons that my rating is a 9/10 instead of a 10/10. One is that there are some weird quirks to the motion controls. I found myself discovering moves I had no idea Mario could do well over halfway through the game because I moved the controller by accident, making Mario throw his hat a certain different way or something. It also seemed like there wasn't a way to do some of the hat throws without using motion controls which is a bummer - I found throwing the hat in a circle around you in particular to be very inconsistent and annoying to execute. If there's a way to do that without motion controls, I would have loved to know it for my playthrough of the game.

    The other reason is that some of the kingdoms (like the Wooded kingdom) are absolutely amazing. They are full to the brim with enticing exploration opportunities, innovative level design, and just dripping with charm. I got absolutely lost in the Wooded Kingdom the first time I went there and just lost 3-4 hours running around doing whatever. Then there are other kingdoms that are... just a bit more bland. They're not bad, or boring, they're just not quite up to the level of some of the others. In these kingdoms, I was glad I was done with them by the time I got to the end so that I could get to better ones. It's not to say I had a bad time with any of the kingdoms, but some definitely outshine others.

    Overall this is such an amazing game from Nintendo that takes everything that made 64 and Sunshine so awesome back in the day and refines it down to the last detail. This is a must-play game for everyone with a Switch.    … Expand

    Это первоклассный трёхмерный платформер - эталон жанра, который вполне мог бы стать систем-селлером, если бы не Зельда, перетянувшая одеяло на себя. В игре идеально почти всё!
    Сначала о плюсах:

Высокая стабильная частота кадров, хорошее сглаживание и чёткие текстуры без мыла -    Это первоклассный трёхмерный платформер - эталон жанра, который вполне мог бы стать систем-селлером, если бы не Зельда, перетянувшая одеяло на себя. В игре идеально почти всё!
    Сначала о плюсах:
    - довольно технологичная для такого слабого железа графика, выглядящая современно в рамках визуально стиля. Высокая стабильная частота кадров, хорошее сглаживание и чёткие текстуры без мыла - придраться к чему либо очень непросто!
    - работа художников создавших окружение и персонажей просто отвал башки - игра очень красивая и умиляет в ней абсолютно всё. Живой пример того, что надо хорошо работать с визуалом, а не кичиться топовыми текстурами!
    - продуманный отточенный геймплей с большим количеством новых механик для серии. Марио умеет очень много всякого для взаимодействия с миром игры - разновидностей прыжков наверное с десяток + паркур + метание шляпы + вселение в персонажей.
    - «Зашляпливание» - не только официальный термин в игре, но и целая глобальная геймплейгая фича! У Марио есть компаньон в виде шляпы, с помощью которого можно и нужно вселяться в различных персонажей и ими управлять. Игра удивляет от начала и до конца новыми возможностями, которые весьма изобретательны.
    - простой ненавязчивый сюжет, не отвлекающий от исследования мира, но при этом не ощущающийся как будто добавлен для галочки. Он развлекает, заинтересовывает, но не грузит.
    - обилие контента. В игре более десятка больших открытых локаций, в которых спрятано столько всего, что просто диву даёшься! Игра просто нашпигована всем необходимым доверху, чтобы полностью освоить все навыки и наиграть вдоволь!
    - комфортная сложность. Сама сюжетная кампания лёгкая, но после прохождения истории начинается челлендж.
    - грамотно вкраплённые 2D уровни в игровые локации. Мало того, что ностальгия, так ещё и качественно сделаны - каждый костюм в игре отрисован в двухмерной проекции и переходы из 2D в 3D осуществляется плавно, не вызывая диссонанса.
    - эпичная концовка. Красиво выглядит и звучит, доставляя непомерное ощущение радости. Великолепный бомбезный финал, просто супер!

    Минусы:
    - управление чересчур перегруженное, вдобавок требующее ювелирной точности и это ещё при том, что оно серьёзно завязано на физике.
    - ракурсы камеры порой натурально сбивают с толку. Периодически непонятно долетишь до следующей платформы или нет? Думаешь, что не долетишь, а наоборот перелетаешь!

    Моя оценка 9,5 из 10. Лучший платформер в моей жизни и будь игра проще и отзывчивее в управлении, поставил бы десятку! С удовольствием проведу в игре ещё пару десятков часов и возможно соберу оставшиеся луны:)

This game is packed with challenges and stages that are super satisfying to blaze through once you get good with the complex jumps and bounces, yet accessible enough that a 6 year- old can play the game. I absolutely love how Nintendo rewards those players who choose to challenge themselves to reach places that look as though they aren't accessible, and rewards us with big shining piles of coins.

    Every single kingdom also feels different, and you can always choose to travel the straight- forward path, or if you want to challenge yourself to be able to skip the more tedious parts. The bosses are a great example of this, where all of the bosses take several minutes to beat, but can be defeated in less than 30 seconds if you really know what you are doing. It is just so satisfying to skip the longer phases of boss fights, given that you dare to challenge yourself.

    The kingdoms are also beautiful, and are large enough that your movement doesn't feel limited, but are not so big that the size slows you down. When this is accompanied by a great musical score, every moment of collecting power moons and searching for purple coins becomes amazingly fun.

    The story itself, and core gameplay is not that great, however, and never require you to do anything more than a basic jump. It is such a shame that Nintendo didn't make this game a bit harder, and didn't encourage the players to challenge themselves more. I have recommended this game to countless people I know, and some have told me they didn't like it, as it was to easy and bare- bones, and I totally see how players feel this when they don't actively try to challenge themselves.

    For those that do, however, this game is an absolute blast, and nearly perfect for a game centred around gameplay, rather than story.    … Expand

IAfter watching the Nintendo Switch reveal event in January of 2017, it was very apparent what were the two pieces of switch software everyone would be craving for. The legend of zelda breath of the wild, and Super Mario Odyssey. I bought my switch solely because of those two games. Breath of the wild immediately didn't disappoint, where as Odyssey is much different, for many reasons. I envisioned myself getting lost in the kingdoms and mechanics of odyssey after all of the fantastic trailers we were treated to, but sadly at first that never happened. I found myself having fun but not immersed. The cappy mechanic wasn't as engaging as I thought it would be. I beat the game fairly quickly and was finished. I decided the game was a decent 7 or 8 and was done with it. My intentions wasn't to go back and play the game but with a portable console sometimes you just need to pass the time. Much of 2019 I've found myself exploring all of the kingdoms and searching for as many moons as I could. I never did this during my first play-through and that was a big mistake. What I've learned in doing this is the moons aren't there as some worthless collectible just to pass the time and find on your way. The moons are there to encourage the player to explore the world and its mechanics. I've had a blast exploring each and every corner of these kingdoms to find my next moon. You instinctively check every box, every corner, to find those elusive moons. There's real enjoyment in trying something different or looking in the areas you've never looked and adding another one to the collection. And along the way you see the real beauty of the game in doing so. Super Mario Odyssey deserves its praise and is a true quality exclusive for the switch. As far as my opinion? It isn't perfect but it's so very close to that mark. Looking forward to seeing what's next in Mario's legendary journey, because if odyssey proves one thing, it's that's there's no telling where we'll go next.… Expand

    como todo juego de Super Mario es un 10 perfecto en gameplay pero en esta entrega hay mucho menos contenido que en anteriores títulos aunque pueda que este sea el que mayor rejugabilidad tenga.    … Expand

    Wahoo, Super Mario Odyssey is such a good game, oh god. It's a game that's easy to finish, but for people like me that want to get more from a game than a typical person, it's truly worth the time and money. This game can be so challenging and yet, so satisfying (this feeling that you get while playing it is crazy). Great, smooth and addictive 3D platformer with eye catchy graphics.

    Greatest Mario adventure since Super Mario 64 & Sunshine. That's all I need to say.

    Great Switch game, that's a solid 9 just because that it's a bit short, completed it 100% in about 45 hrs.

    The first time you play this game. Its amazing. Other playthroughs though, it gets very repetitive and boring.

    Super Mario Odyssey is the most perfect gaming experience on Switch. It's an absolute delight to play, rewards you practically whenever it can and proves that Nintendo still has great exclusives for it's consoles.

    Well, having not played any Mario since the N64 opus, I was curious beginning this one. Well, Nintendo mastered the recipe from the beginning to the end. The feeling of adventure/ platformer of the N64 classics is still here with a 2017 dress and a clear hommage to its predecessors (yes, all of 'em).

    The compact worlds of Super Mario Odyssey create a constant cycle of discovery, puzzle-solving, and platforming. All the hidden secrets force you to use everything at your disposal, revealing a wealth of fun interactions.

    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]
