    El mejor juego de mario de la historia, es simplemente hermoso, quizás es un poco fácil pasarse el modo historia, pero les invito a todo el mundo intentar pasarselo al 100%,y sobre todo 60 FPS, NO MICROPAGOS NI DLCS

    It's Mario the king of video games. Feel so great to play this game and have a lot of fun on collecting the moons and the region coins. Mario make me feel happy and want to play more video games.

    From solving puzzles, to the great use of camera, to all kinds of creatures which whom you can solve even more puzzles and obstacles this game just brings a great experience with a lot of fun!

    Now normally I would not give this game a 10, but since it re-imagines the genre ones again, I just can't give it any lower than this. With solid gameplay to back it up, and the most familiar story we all can dream by now, this is a solid 10, a game of the year nominee!    … Expand

Gráficamente es asombroso, cuesta creer que una en una consola tan pequeña pueda lucir así de bien y encima a 60fps(en algunos puntos hay bajones pero no son molestos). Es increíble que siendo una franquicia tan antigua siga luciendo fresco e innovador y que Nintendo todavía siga haciendo cosas nuevas, la inclusión de Cappy y todo lo que gira en torno a la "posesión" es espectacular, casi dependemos totalmente de él. Quizá no le doy una mejor nota porque no es del todo lo que esperaba, algo como el primer Galaxy, pero es un juego que debes tener si amas los videojuegos y tienes una Switch.… Expand

    One of the best mario games of all time. It deserves every bit of praise it's getting. Like with breath of the wild, Nintendo continues to revitalize old franchises with fresh ideas while paying tribute to the classics that started it all.

    I love this game. Even though I was able to beat the main story in one day, the graphics are amazing, and all of the extra features after the main story is also long and fun. The only problems that I have are the easy bosses, and the multiplayer. But otherwise, great game. I would totally recommend this!

    If you have played very much Mario games earlier, then you will sometimes get tired of Mario Oddyssey. I had the kind of fun, but the '' weary feeling '' got into the game quite quickly. It is the same goal when you travel to the places where you go. If you intend to collect ALL the moons, well good luck. Nothing beats Galaxy 2 yet in my opinion

    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.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

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

    I felt I had to write this since most seem to be of the opinion that it's an flawless game & you'd have to be a idiot to think otherwise. While I agree it's a very well made game and has some absolutely fantastic moments, these moments are often short-lived and much of the rest of the game is taken up by the tedium of searching for / chasing down moons.

    Before I dive in I should mention    I felt I had to write this since most seem to be of the opinion that it's an flawless game & you'd have to be a idiot to think otherwise. While I agree it's a very well made game and has some absolutely fantastic moments, these moments are often short-lived and much of the rest of the game is taken up by the tedium of searching for / chasing down moons.

    Before I dive in I should mention that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is my 2nd favourite game of all time (it actually knocked Super Mario World from this spot) and I'm a big Mario fan in general. I should also probably mention however that while I liked Super Mario 64, I didn't love it and furthermore I couldn't even play Super Mario Sunshine past the first few levels due to it's poor camera, uninspiring environments and lame premise: Mario cleans up graffiti with a water canon; come on. To this day It's the only main series Mario game I've never finished (Lost Levels included) and therein probably lies much of my problem with SMO; I'm clearly more of a fan of the linear-style Mario games rather than these sandbox collectathons, still I think it's worth mentioning (mainly for those who believe SMO does no wrong) what are, imo, serious flaws with the game.

    But first I will list what I did like about the game - I still gave it 7/10 so I must have liked something!

    Firstly, it's Mario and the game still feels fantastic to play and move Mario around the environment. On top of this Cappy provides some great new moves to Mario's usual repertoire making Mario more fun to control than ever.

    2nd, the capturing mechanic is SUCH a great idea and at least 50% of the things you can capture add some really fun dynamics to the gameplay. Power-Ups are often one of the most enjoyable things in Mario games and capturing boosts the number of skills you can acquire well beyond previous records.

    3rd, the combined use of surprises and nostalgia adds a lot of fun moments into the game. A few bits in New Donk City in particular such as **that** moped chase down the back alleyway as well as the scene you play when the festival kicks-off had me smiling from ear-to-ear.

    Finally this game is easily the funniest Mario game outside of the Paper Mario series - a lot of this is in the text spouted by the inhabitants of the various Kingdoms which had me laughing out loud on more than one occasion.

    So onto the bad.. my main complaint is that a large number of the moons just aren't fun to collect. I'm not talking about the random ones that you have to search high & low for (although there are too many of those) I'm talking about the ones hiding in plain sight that force you into some monotonous task to obtain. These challenges are almost always repeated over-and-over in the various Kingdoms with little to no variation (something previous Mario games have excelled in avoiding) - these "challenges" can be broken down into 4 main categories:

    1) Chasing after things

    Chasing after Rabbits / Chasing after shiny birds / chasing after sheep and herding them into a area - all very boring

    2) Finding certain items:

    Captain Toad / Peach / local currency to buy a local's outfit / shop + coins so you can buy moons / sphinx so you can answer a boring (& ridiculously simple) question / kingdom portals / underground items via HD rumble effect / capturing inanimate objects to move them out of the way - None of these things I found fun to find in the slightest

    3) Doing something quickly:

    Collecting musical notes before the timer runs out (dull) / Timer Challenges (some fun, others not) / Koopa Races (way too many of these, although to be fair a few are kinda fun & actually have some variety)

    4) Minigames:

    These sound more fun than they are but at least most aren't repeated ad infinitum: RC Car / Beachball / Jump Rope / god-awful Trace-walking game. There were a few mini-games such as Bound Bowl that were really great but again these were sparsely available in comparison to the (literally) hundreds of moons that weren't much fun to collect at all.

    Another major bugbear is the lack of challenge. All over the internet I've seen this comment countered with: "yeah, you clearly haven't played the last Kingdom yet" to which my response would be; having a game which is pedestrian in difficulty for 99% of the experience only to ramp up to 11 for a single level doesn't equate to a difficult game overall - it's a shame because '3D World' pulled this exact same trick and was worse off for it. Why have Nintendo lost the ability to gradually ramp up the difficulty during the course of the game? They never had problems with this in the past and I really hope the trend doesn't continue.

    All in all - If it were up to me these things would have elevated the game into something amazing instead of just good

    * 20-40% less moons in each Kingdom - removing most of the ones mentioned above.
    * 4-6 fully fledged additional Kingdoms
    * Greater increase in difficulty as the game progresses    … Expand

    Otro Mario que pasa a ser una obra maestra, así de simple. Es una masterclass de como debería ser un plataformas. La perfección en cuanto a jugabilidad. Como los de mas Marios no tiene una narrativa que digamos muy enrevesada, pero no la necesita.

    Muy buen videojuegos, me ha encantado lo he jugado durante muchas horas sin duda un renueve de Super Mario que le sienta de maravilla, Me gustan mucho las nuevas animaciones y movimientos de mario, tiene un mundo abierto muy original, y las transformaciones, son buenissimas. Si disponeis de una switch es imprescindible.

    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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Pero incluso con eso,debo decir que la creación,uso y concepto de Cappy me parece maravillosa.Aún siendo cierto que quita protagonismo a aquello por lo que todos entramos a la saga,poder convertirnos en el fontanero más famoso de todos los tiempos y dar brincos por ahí olvidandonos un rato de todo.
    Entrando en el tema de los escenarios cabe remarcar que están llenos de cosas que hacer,pero aún así,ninguno de ellos me ha transmitido la sensación de estar visitando una ciudad VIVA como hizo en su momento The Witcher 3 o el tan criticado Assasin's Creed Unity.

    Super Mario Odyssey is damn near perfect and absolutely delightful through and through from beginning to end. It may be a bit self indulgent in certain areas, but for a series with this kind of stature, you can be assured it's earned. Every level is so densely packed, so encouraging, and so rewarding.

It may be a bit self indulgent in certain areas, but for a series with this kind of stature, you can be assured it's earned. Every level is so densely packed, so encouraging, and so rewarding. Around every nook and cranny there's bound to be more moons to snuff out, and coming across them seemingly never gets old.

    Since everybody has already gone on for days about everything great about this game, I'll spend a little time on some of the complaints I have:
    -there's more than 850 moons in the game, but I'd say only 400 of them can be found doing worthwhile and truly activities that involve acrobatics or platforming or something else of that nature, whereas the rest are found doing things that aren't particularly exciting to challenging, such as light fetch questing, or jump roping, or looking at paintings, or throwing your hat onto things, etc. Collecting every moon is optional, so it never really gets in your way, but there are soooooooo many moons to collect, and less than half of the moons you can collect are collected doing the exciting stuff.
    -It is a really easy game. And that's fine. But of the 400 moons that you get doing the truly fun and exciting stuff, only around 20 of those moons are collecting doing anything genuinely challenging, such as that "darker side of the moon" portion at the end, which is the most one of the wonderfully enraging platforming sequences in any Mario game, and it just seems to stretch on forever, and it's so rewarding when you finally finish it. But there's only on sequence like that. I would've honestly liked their to be a few. Maybe not a few that long and frustrating, but it would have been nice to get more than just one prolonged sequence that tests the acrobatic skills you'll need to acquire from playing through the game.
    -There isn't much replay value. I found plenty of replay value in Super Mario Galaxy and Galaxy 2, because basically all of the stars are collected doing fun acrobatic platforming or boss fighting with varying degrees of difficulty, but I don't see myself replaying Odyssey anytime soon, because only just less than half of the moons are collected doing fun stuff, the rest were fun to collect at the time because of the joy of discovery and figuring out what I need to do in each area to get new moons, but now that I know what I have to do, replaying it would just be busywork, whereas replaying through platforming sequences (which is what Super Mario Galaxy is based around), is genuinely fun to replay.

    But other than those fairly minor complaints, Odyssey is honestly some of the most fun I've ever had with any video game. I was tempted to give it a ten, because there is no single part of it that feels cumbersome, it's all a job to play from beginning to end, but I opted not to, just because I don't really see much replay value.    … Expand

And over the last 30 years, I have seen the transformation of these Mario games become amazing! I love Mario and the entire cast (Luigi, Princess, Bowser, Yoshi, Toad, and etc.)!

    After clearing the story mode, I am now going back and getting more stars but I am feeling like its a chore and not fun. Having said that while I love Mario Odyssey, I personally think its missing several things to the game - creativity! I loved the Galaxy series much more because the each of the planets offered a different perspective and challenge. This seemed more like the same with different setup - Fire, Ice, Water, and etc. I enjoyed this Mario but I don't think it its a Masterpiece that everyone is calling it. I think the Galaxy series was way more fun and challenging! The story in the Galaxy was so much better too! This game seemed a little to basic and entry level for Mario players except the DARK Moon!

    Story - 7 - Lack thereof. Could have had more characters (Luigi, Yoshi, Princess Toad) to play a more important part in the game
    Controls - 6 - the controls is the reason why I die most of the time. The camera is not fixed but it should be able to determine how far or away much easier from certain things.
    Gameplay - 8 - seemed almost the same for each world using the magic hat. It's gets a little old. I wished they pushed more toward having different characters and their abilities to help Mario on his quest.
    Graphics 9 - great graphics and 60 frames is great both on TV and Handheld
    Music - 9 - Wished they had more of it!
    Overall - 8

    It seemed as though they were running out of ideas and so they just rushed the star idea to place them everywhere. MORE IS NOT BETTER! And wished they did more on the story and interaction of each characters. I think the professional reviewers aren't being really honest if they have played all of the Mario games this is definitely not the best. Having played all of the main Mario games I can see the differences and creativity in each. The "magic hat" while it was fun I think they over played it too long and shouldn't be the entire game.

    The costumes as someone else mentioned, while they are nice and fun to look, but weren't integral part in the game! They could have easily made the costumes important to the game mechanics which I agree could have helped break the "HAT" trick idea. I felt that the hat was a great idea but it was over used and wished they would the outfits play a part into the game!!

    I think Nintendo doing great things and love my Switch, but this is just not a Masterpiece as the Galaxy Series are! And to be honest its definitely NOT best in the Mario series and people are over exuberant about playing another Mario game and the reason they are raving about it, But after the dust settles they will realize that the Galaxy, Sunshine, and Mario N64 games were much better in design and creativity.    … 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's story is the same old Mario story: Bowser kidnaps Peach and Mario's    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'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

It's a good game, but it suffers from a lot of core design problems.

    There is very poor conveyance to players about what they're supposed to do. Just a couple of examples, there's a part where you need to swap orientation of steps using the stomp attack. This is never shown, and not explicitly sign-posted for the players. The only indication is an obscure explosion sign on the platform to "show" you have to stomp on it. This goes against what the game has taught you where things vibrate when you're suppose to stomp on them. A good design would have been to put a Power Moon on such a platform and when you stomp to obtain it, the stairs swap orientation.
    Another example is where you have to fight an octopus boss by shooting it. You NEED to raise yourself to a certain height before your hit registers. This makes no sense because all your projectiles hit the boss. There is no clear indication of where the hitbox of the boss is. There is a hint where cappy says, you need to go above the head. But the boss has magma on his head initially. After the first hits, the magma is removed, so you think the initial hint is only meant to remove the magma.

    The movement of Mario is also sloppy, where you slip and slide a few steps before moving. WHY? This makes the control feel slippery. Sure, you can get use to it. But again, WHY? It doesn't serve ANY gameplay mechanics. A platformer needs to have tight controls.

    By the middle of the game, I felt like I wanted to just get the game over and done with. I don't get why this gets a higher user score compared to Breath of the Wild, which has FAR better world and game design. I look forward to finishing the story so I can go back to the world of Zelda.    … Expand

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Super Mario Odyssey es una maravilla de video juego que reinventa el genero de plataformas y el sandbox, me recuerda al Super Mario 64 por la mecánica de encontrar lunas que son el simil a las estrellas y por los movimientos de Mario que son idénticos. La diferencia está en que Super Mario Odyssey tiene un gameplay único, totalmente renovado e innovador, gracias a Cappy el nuevo personaje del universo de Mario. Cappy es originalmente de Cap Kingdom y se une a Mario para rescatar a su hermana, Tiara, ya que Bowser había secuestrado a la princesa Peach y a Tiara para cumplir su deseo de casarse con la princesa. Cappy es un "sombrero" que puede cambiar su aspecto a diversos sombreros. Cuando Mario arroja a Capy contra ciertos enemigos u objetos Cappy los posee lo que permite que Mario los controle y pueda sacar provecho de sus habilidades para pasar las "etapas", esta capacidad se conoce como capturas. Mario también puede usar a Cappy para lanzarlo para eliminar enemigos, obtener monedas, o realizar saltos que parecen imposibles.

    Los mundos son una maravilla gráficamente, son totalmente re jugables ya que no son lineales. Si bien la historia se puede terminar en 15 horas aprox., una vez terminado el juego se abre un mundo de posibilidades, se desbloquean nuevos mundos a explorar, nuevo trajes y sombreros. Además de nuevos desafíos de minijuegos. Mario podrá volver a los mundos jugados y volver a explorarlos, encontrar las lunas que faltaron y las nuevas lunas que aparecen una vez terminada la historia principal de este, lo que hace que el titulo entregue fácilmente más 200 horas de juego ya que no es sencillo encontrar todas las lunas.

    Es destacable la cantidad de trajes y sombreros que hay en el juego, y que hay trajes que te permite acceder a ciertos lugares. Mario puede vestir de doctor, de explorador, de cavernícola, etc.

    La música es otro de los puntos altos, música de altísimo nivel, donde se encuentran títulos como "Jump Up, Super Star!".

    Los minijuegos también son un punto a destacar ya que son entretenidos y puedes comparar tu record con la tabla de record online de jugadores de todo el mundo, puedes intentar llegar al ranking top ten.

    Lo que hicieron los desarrolladores de Nintendo técnicamente es increíble, se nota que lo desarrollaron con amor, lo podemos ver en las etapas que mezclan el clásico plataformas 2D dentro del mundo 3D, la amistad que se genera entre Mario y el perrito o cuando mario reúne a todos los músicos y en el festival suena la música "Jump Up, Super Star!" mezclando 2D con 3D, son detalles emocionantes que se agradecen. El final de mario es increíble, el poder capturar a Bowser para salvar a la princesa del derrumbe fue épico.

    Por todo lo dicho anteriormente y considerando que no hay palabras que puedan hacer justicia a este video juego, creo que marcará un precedente en el genero de plataformas. Merece más de un 10. Creo que este juego es quizás el mejor video juego de la saga de Mario en la historia, y junto a The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild uno de los mejores video juegos del año, ambos se merecen el premio a GOTY 2017.    … Expand

I amSuper Mario Odyssey is a great game to get for your kids, so long as they aren't easily frustrated by awkward camera controls or Mario running as though he's on ice or slipperier ice the entire game. The main challenge is figuring out how to make Mario do what you want him to do without facing the wrong way, succumbing to inertia, or throwing your cap-panion in the wrong direction. I am astonished, quite frankly, that other reviews have touted the responsiveness of the title character in this game. My experience was quite the opposite. Dexterity and patience with the camera controls, that is, are your main opponents in the game.

    The puzzles-- the parts of the game I wish were challenging-- are remarkably simple and the basic story is dull, repetitive, and short (not to speak of its depressingly archaic gender roles, Mayor Pauline notwithstanding). After my initial interest in the main conceit (Cappy controlling your enemies; more on that later) I became more and more disappointed with what the game had to offer. I was not compelled to explore any of the worlds because everything I found was basic, and, eventually, without joy. After the closing credits I read Cappy's exhortation to explore more worlds and gladly exited to the Home screen to close the software, never to open it again.

    The one shining point of this game is the main conceit of Cappy. Being able to take control of the various enemies that Mario has faced over the years (and a few other beasties as well) had me grinning for the first several hours of play. This too became tedious after a while, but those few hours are enough to make me think that children will be captivated by this game for quite some time. The puzzles may be challenging enough to maintain their interest, the Candyland graphics may enchant them, and they may not be disappointed with the terrible controls.    … Expand

    LO MEJOR: La jugabilidad, con un control muy preciso y repleto de posibilidades. Libertad total para conseguir tus objetivos y avanzar. Momentos graciosos con cientos de guiños y detalles. La banda sonora es impresionante. La frescura en el diseño de niveles, prodigiosos 30 años después. Algunos de los jefes finales, con mecánicas sencillas y muy divertidas. Cappy. Los extras como las vestimentas, que aportan mucho al juego y nos incitan a conseguir más lunas y monedas.

Tiene fallos en la cámara en momentos críticos en los que técnicamente es imposible colocar uno mismo la vista adecuada. La falta de información inicial respecto a las rocas lunares.

    CONCLUSIÓN: Es un obra maestra. Tiene algunos pequeños defectos, que de haber solucionado convertirían a Odyssey en el Mario definitivo.

It gives you hours and hours of content. My favorite game was Mario 64 and i never though nintendo could do a better mario game. This is proof that a single player platform adventure game works. Buy this game. ForThis is the best Super Mario Game ever made. You have freedom to do everything at your own pace, there are some linears levels inside the open world lands but is so addictive.

    I am just lost for words. The spirit of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine lives on in this game. It was as if I stepped into a portal to my childhood. I highly recommend the "single joy-con in each hand" motion control scheme. The motions controls feel so intuitive and really enhance the gameplay.

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

    I would have loved to give his game a 10/10 but Nintendo dropped the ball on this one. Its not at all a bad game its just not the masterpiece we all come to expect. Controls are as always spot on and Mario has not changed. However Nintendo have been experimenting with new game play elements and some of them just not measure up.

Instead of doing one thing perfect they have done 10 things good and that does subtract the score a bit. Still a good game and a must buy for switch owners but it could have been more polished.… Expand

    Super Mario Odyssey is a modern masterpiece. It feels as natural as the classic, Mario 64, but also new and refreshing with Cappy and the capture ability. It captures the essence of what makes Mario such an amazing game. I cannot wait for a sequel.

    me imaginaba algo muy distinto... pero nintendo sabe siempre como hacer buenos juegos, y no hablo solo de jugabilidad, los gráficos también son hermosos en cada lugar!

    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]
