    This is the 3D Mario game we all have wanted and Nintendo couldn't have done it better. The kingdoms are super fun the explore, the capture ability is genius and the soundtrack and graphics are beautiful. Game of the year in my opinion.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Super Mario Odyssey is by far one of the greatest games on the switch. It really took my breath away. Once you get to New Donk City, it may not like a lot. But when you get all the musicians for Pauline's Quest, you are rewarded with awesome visuals, kick-ass music, and a throwback to the original Super Mario Bros with 8 bit glorious stages. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a game on the switch. The game may fall a bit short on replayability, but I don't mind that much.… Expand

    Since "Space Invaders" was all the rage, I played literally thousands of games–but I wasn't prepared for how good "Super Mario Odyssey" is. And I'm not even a Mario fan. In fact, I rarely cared enough about this character to play a Mario game before.

    "Odyssey", however, isn't just a great Mario game. It's arguably one of the greatest games ever. It's an unbridled hymn to joy that starts surprising you after a few minutes of play, and keeps surprising you every few minutes, again and again, up to the closing credits–and beyond. Every corner in "Odyssey" hides a secret–and there are many, many corners, spread across a surprising number of mini-open-world levels that feel like they came out of an LSD trip–but a very good one.

    Games, even the best ones, are based on repetition. There are few activities in gaming that keep their shine after repeating them hundreds of times. Hence, the best thing I can say about "Odyssey" is this: I've collected hundreds of moons in this game–and yet, when I found a new one, I still smile. Every single time.    … Expand

The music is great and the level itself has some great puzzles and platforming. The Lost Woods is a great addition, but can be annoying when trying to get moons. Speaking of moons, they are the main collectible and there are 880 moons in all, but you can get a maximum of 999 when buying from Crazy Cap. Crazy Cap is the game's shop, where you buy all of the things the game has to offer. You buy these items with coins and purple coins, which are exclusive to separate kingdoms. Super Mario Odyssey's bosses are extremely original and creative. Overall, this game is extremely well-designed and an amazing sandbox game. 10/10.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. YES YES YES ALL THE YES! This game...THIS! GAME! IT'S THE BEST THING I'VE PLAYED IN A LONG TIME! As someone who grew up playing games like Sunshine and Galaxy it would make perfect sense for Nintendo to step back into their comfort zone why'll also pushing their mascot forward. And if anything it was a perfect idea. They pushed Mario back into the open world, sandbox styled gameplay why'll making him explore all these great, wide, wacky worlds (Sorry. I just had to) And bringing back old characters like Pauline and even put Mario in Nintendo's version of dark souls. All the controls feel fluid and nice. They're not too stiff but not to loose either. Basically a perfect mix of the two. The one problem i have with Mario in this game is that trying to move on small platforms are in the sky is pretty, pretty, pretty hard. With the sky you do have a bit more control since throwing Cappy allows you to snap your movement in a different direction but when you're trying to sneak on a platform to be sure not to fall into some icky goop in the Lost Kingdom it can be really hard and you might even end up falling down and doing the exact opposite of what you wanted to do in some cases, depending on where you are. Other than that the game is just absolutely phenomenal. I mean it has it's flaws as all games do but you can still enjoy the heck out of it from start to finish. All the post game content is great as well. You've got the Mushroom Kingdom, you have more power moons to collect, You have Weegee's Balloon World and you even have more costumes to collect. Definitely the best game i have picked up in ages and i hope it stays that way.… Expand

    There are no words to describe the experience that I had while playing this game. The joy of finding Power Moons, the fun of taking control of iconic enemies and wearing snazzy costumes is indescribable. There are no rules on what you can do, not limits that you can't break, and no challenge that is unbeatable. The level design is absolutely unrivaled, nor are the amount of possibilities.There are no words to describe the experience that I had while playing this game.

There are no rules on what you can do, not limits that you can't break, and no challenge that is unbeatable. The level design is absolutely unrivaled, nor are the amount of possibilities. There is just you, your mission to save the Princess, Bowsers minions, and a HELL of a lot of Power moons in your way. Oh, and also the controls are amazing. Never have I found joy in simply moving a character around. This is a must buy, no going around it. That is the general review.

    This is the personal review:
    When I was young, my family owned a WII and a DS. we had a collective amount of about 10 games for each system. The most fun i had was playing Mario Kart and Wii sports, and that was about it. We eventually sold our Wii, and for 5 years, that was the last time I played a Mario game. Then one day, I was in school and I was looking for computer games to kill the time. I eventually found this game called "Super Mario World". I was like "Super Mario World? What's this? It's probably just some dumb fan game." But it was unblocked, so I thought "why not?" and I played it on a web emulator. (I didn't know at the time) After that I found the game really enjoyable, but a bit challenging. Then, I found Super Mario 64 on my free time, downloaded an emulator and rom, and played. Again, it was fun, but I could tell it wasn't aging fine, and it took me a while to realize I could just play via controller (Don't play 3d games on keyboard). After both those games, I begged my parents to get a Switch, so that I could play Mario Kart 8 and Breath of the Wild, and also Super Mario Odyssey when it came out. In august, I got the Switch and 2 months later, the game that inspired this review. As I am typing this i am tear driven, not because I returned the game, but because playing this game has made me realize how much I missed out when I was younger. Everything in this game makes me feel like I'm 6 again, when I felt invincible and never worried about anything. That's why I've written this review 6 months after the games release. The exploration is probably the best part about this game, but there was never a boring part at any point. This game is so fun in-fact, that it has inspired me to start off on the creation of my own games.
    Perhaps I am wrong, perhaps Mario Odyssey is just a passing Fad, and in a few years it'll start to age like its predecessors before it. But in my eyes, this game is a timeless masterpiece, and nothing can change that    … Expand

    This game is so amazing, I believe people over hyped the wrong game when BOTW and Odyssey were announced. I think that Super Mario Odyssey should get praised more for its open world style based game. Each world felt completely different from the last. It kept me coming back to see what kingdom I would be going to next! If you have a switch and you DON'T have this game BUY IT!

    Amazing.
    I don't even know how to express how good this game is in words.
    Instead, i'll just state the pros and cons. PROS: You know your game is good when it's fun to just move around, Mario's moveset is bigger than ever, there's even a new move: the infnite roll! and a returning one, the dive! Cappy, he's a great addition, he makes for an awesome feature that never gets old and    Amazing.

    PROS:

    Cappy, he's a great addition, he makes for an awesome feature that never gets old and keeps things fresh so that it never feels like the same, and it doesn't feel like an after though, too! Its very fleshed out and balanced, just the way I like it.
    The OST, just, the OST.
    The world are massive! There's so much to see and do and they're so filled with charm!
    The boss battles are so creative and original, each one test the skills that you learned in that world, which I really like!
    The Snapshot mode is an awesome feature, now you can make memes like never before!
    There is SO MUCH POST GAME CONTENT ITS UNREAL! I won't spoil it but there's a lot.
    The costumes, although being cosmetics, are a very nice addition to Odyssey and are just so cool! They reference so many things and is such a good bit of fan service to long time fans.
    The fact they brought back Pauline from the dead puts a smile on my face.
    The difficulty is just right: it goes from baby to semi challenging, not hard, just challenging, its just right for newcomers and old-timers alike.
    Multiplayer is a nice addition, although it can get pretty hecktic lol.

    CONS:
    The Power Moons are everywhere, and sometimes too easy to get: Kick a rock, POWER MOON, Sit on a bench next to a lonely guy, POWER MOON. BREATHE OXYGEN, POWER MOON For me, this didn't affect my experience with the game too much, but its still worth mentioning, as this can be a major turn off for some.
    Motion controls are forced down your throat and some moves are locked behind them, didn't bother me too much since the Joy Cons were my main controllers but if you're using a pro controller, this can be infuriating.

    And that's it!
    Should you buy this ga-YES.
    Overall, I give this game a 10/10.
    No, its not perfect, but whether you're a long time fan or have never played a video game EVER, you're gonna have a great time!    … Expand

If you are going for the easiest moons, and the least amount of moons possible, then it's your fault that the game is easy! All you need to do is go and force yourself to find those more difficult moons!
    The music in this game is absolutely flawless. I wouldn't say BOTW status there, but the music really matched well with the environment. I always felt like I was "in it".
    Gameplay mechanics? Perfect. Cappy adds a whole new level to this wide, expansive game, and really makes it more fun to move around. The controls never feel like they are slipping in your hands, and Mario just moves so well that even if you are going around, collecting Moons that you've already gotten, you still have fun doing it! I literally wander around kingdoms for no apparent reason, just because I love moving Mario so much.
    Oh, and can't forget about the post game content. No spoilers here, but just to say, there is infinite post game content. With added secrets, added stages, Koopa Freerunning, and now even Luigi's Balloon World, you will never get bored!
    And, just all of the throwbacks to the old Mario games, like 64, and even a surprising amount of Sunshine, there is infinite nostalgia for you to crunch down on, like a never ending feast.

    The best Mario game ever! Every kingdom/level feels like it's a completely different game and I don't remember any other game that made me feel the same! The re-playability factor is also real. Once you go forward on the game, you unlock a few things here and there from previous levels and therefore there is plenty more to do after beating the game. It's a must-have for any Switch owner!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Truly, one of the best, if not the best, game ever. The return to the true open-world sandbox genre is very refreshing after semi-linear Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 and linear 3D Land and 3D World. The amount of Moons gives the player a nice challenge. One of the things I really love is the adaptation to any kind of gamer there is. Right out of the bat, the game offers you the Assist Mode, which really helps less-skilled players. After that, you can choose, which moons to get. Some of them are easy, while some of them are hard. The varied difficulty of moons is something I really appreciate, considering I'm not that skilled myself. To reach the ending, you only need to collect the relatively easy moons. That means even the least skilled players can experience the main ending, which isn't really the case in other Mario games (For example, I've never finished Sunshine, however much I tried.) . The Cappy mechanic is wonderful. It controls very smoothly, there are loads of moves you can learn throughout the game. Capturing mechanic brought many surprises and many different styles of play. Also, because of that, the game allows many different approaches to getting many of the moons. For example, if there is a moon up in the air, you could do some advanced moves with Cappy to get the moon, or you could capture an Uproot (the creature that can extend it's legs) and get it that way. Or you could even make a tower of Goombas. The game gives you many choices. Those reasons and many more may as well be the reason why this game deserves a 10/10.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is absolutely amazing. Out of every Mario game I have played, this is the best one I have touched, and I'm sure many people agree with me that this is the best Mario game out there. The story is another interesting spin on the 'Bowser Captures Peach' formula, where he wants to marry Peach (proving the entire 'love triangle), so he decides to grab the best things for the wedding in order to make the perfect wedding. During the intro, Bowser shreds up Mario's hat, with a being known as Cappy gathering the 'M' part of his hat. The gameplay is just astounding here. The biggest change to it being Cappy. Gone are the traditional power-ups and taking their place is the CAPture ability. This allows you to take full control of any enemy, with some of them having better control with motion controls once you take off your Switch remotes. Cappy is your main weapon, as you can throw him in order to damage/CAPture enemies, and you can even use him as a platform to jump across to other platforms. Mario controls excellently in this game, and even better, the dive is back and better than ever. The graphics are just astonishing, and you'll notice it mostly in the cutscenes where everything is really fluid. While the music isn't the best it has ever been (*cough* Super Mario Galaxy *cough*), what it gets right, it gets right. My two personal favorite tracks are 'Jump Up, Super Star!' and 'Honeylune Ridge-Escape'. I'm pretty sure it's self-explanatory why those two are my favorite tracks in the game. The level design now takes an open world like feel to it, and not to mention that the visuals in each Kingdom are beautiful. Visual wise, my favorite Kingdom is the Cascade Kingdom. It's just so bright, colorful and beautiful to look at. The new characters within the game are Cappy, Tiara and the Broodals. While I can't say much about Tiara and the Broodals due to the fact that they aren't shown too much, I can talk about Cappy's personality. Even though he is helpful, selfless and heroic, he's much more than just a stereotypical hero. He gets scared easily, he's talkative, he's got real character. Unfortunately, he doesn't really have a backstory of any sorts. There are even little areas in the game where you go into a pixel pipe and you go to Super Mario Bros. gameplay style, and you can still find Power Moons in there. While the Kingdom Coins can be used to get souvenirs, you'd much rather want to use them for costumes that you can wear and change on the fly. The framerate is also really good, running at a crisp 60fps, and only dipping slightly in certain areas in the game. If you're a fan of collect-a-thons or you own a Switch, this game is a must have.… Expand

    I played every major Mario games since Bros. on the NES, and in my humble opinion Odyssey ranks easily in the top 3 of the legendary series, maybe even the best among the top three Mario games! It would be hard to describe how incredible this game is and I would bore you with too many superlatives, suffice it to say Odyssey is essential to play by all who enjoy the medium. Pure ecstasy!

    In my opinion the greatest mario platformer out there as well as one of the greatest mario games ever made! The story is very unique for a mario game and gameplay, level design and soundtrack are near-perfect! This game might lack replay-value, but the other things make up for that! A must buy for any Nintendo Switch owner!

    by far this is the best Mario game I have ever play.like seriously we can explore the kingdom and there also a lots of moon to collects too and the ending is the ending that we never saw in any Mario game.

    Super Mario Odyssey não é apenas o ápice da franquia Mario, mas o ápice dos jogos de plataforma em geral. Genial em sua jogabilidade, design e trilha sonora, é essencial para qualquer jogador.

    I'm not a particular fan of Mario's 3D game series, but still, enjoyed Odyssey more than I thought I would. The game has a great level design, with all those fresh new elements such as costumes, enemies and it's new mechanics – and of course Cappy.

    Some helpful notes (or not): – As in every Mario's game, it's easy for newcomers but has deeper challenges for veterans. – It's not a game    I'm not a particular fan of Mario's 3D game series, but still, enjoyed Odyssey more than I thought I would.

    Some helpful notes (or not):
    – As in every Mario's game, it's easy for newcomers but has deeper challenges for veterans.
    – It's not a game for casual players whose only played platform Mario's games. I've introduced the game for some friends and they got bored.
    – I don't know if it's good or bad, but, I thought the first stage in which you meets Cappy is a bit depressive, and not what I was expecting of a first stage in a Mario's game.
    – The visual design is stunning considering it's a Mario's game.
    – It has well designed nostalgic references and gameplay such as Mario's classic platform puzzles. Could have more, I think.
    – The song "Jump Up Super Star" is a hit!
    – I've played with my 8 and 10 year nephews. I've noticed that playing as Mario was a bit challenging for them, to control the camera disturbed them a lot during gameplay.
    – You can beat the game very fast (same as the previous Mario's games) but it definitely encourages you to get every purple coins and collectibles. To me, the replay factor is not that great.

    I think it's a must play game for Nintendo Switch's owners     … Expand

    So, Mario has to rescue Peach.....again, but now it's with his new friend Cappy, as they travel around the world to rescue her. The gameplay is absolutely groundbreaking and the graphics are probably the best I've seen from 2017. This is probably my favorite game from 2017.

    This game brought back the spirit of past 3D Mario games such as Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy. It's all about adventure and solving problems, it is just one of the best games on the Switch! The controls are hard at first but you get used to it very quickly, the graphics don't necessarily matter to me, but it runs smoothly and doesn't take up much space at all! I would recommendThis game brought back the spirit of past 3D Mario games such as Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy.

The controls are hard at first but you get used to it very quickly, the graphics don't necessarily matter to me, but it runs smoothly and doesn't take up much space at all! I would recommend this masterpiece for people who want to play an original game such as this. Sure it has the same story Peach gets kidnapped yadadadada but each game has its own unique function, this one by far is one of the most creative. You fall in love with all the characters quickly, I'm going, to be honest, the more companions Mario has it takes longer to have a connection with that character. Super Mario Odyssey's main storyline is short and that's what makes it hard to develop a connection with Cappy, but the game encourages you to keep exploring and paying attention to the little things! It's truly one of the greatest and most fun games I've ever played in my life. It gets boring after you finished pretty much the entire game, but that happens to every video game eventually. This is just my opinion, you may try it out for yourself. If you have ADHD then I think this game will be great for you, I have ADHD myself and my friends that have ADHD absolutely LOVE this game! Phenomenal.… Expand

    I don't think there has ever been a game that made me have this much fun through the whole thing.
    This is simply astonishing. The 10 is just an approximation, though. 9.7 would suit it best, but hey: decimal scores
    This game is beautiful anyway.

    It has the magic classic Mario games have. Beautiful, amazing design across the whole game. Maybe it's too short on story mode. The controls feel made for this game.

    An absolute blast! Hands down one of the best games of all time. They have done everything right with the game; good, expansive endgame, great visuals and engaging, immersive worlds, and the music and story are phenomenal. If you have a Switch, get this game.

    This game is an absolute joy to play. Odyssey is an homage to the great Mario games of the past yet incredibly is able to deliver new ideas and experiences that make this game feel fresh.

    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]
