    If you want to know the definition of "fun", then Super Mario Odyssey is the answer.
    The best 3D Super Mario game ever made that is just pure fun, and just like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, this game is untouchable.

    Este é o Mário 128, melhor jogo do Mário que já joguei, usa a tecnologia de Rumble HD e muito bem, a história é a mesma mas tem contradições que me faz jogar de novo o jogo, a gameplay é a melhor todas, só um chapéu muda toda a gameplay, este jogo é perfeito como foi o Mário 64. 10/10

It`s supposed to be fun for everyone, children should be able to gather just enough moons to get through the game which it obviously should be since it is a Nintendo title, but the game can be very challenging for us adults too, if you want to 100% complete the game and get all the moons, I tell you it`s not going to be easy not matter old you are. Not matter what the negative posters say, don`t listen to them, but the game if you haven`t played it, I promise you`ll have a blast!… Expand

    I have not played every Mario game, but of all of the Mario games I have played (SM 1, 2, 3, SM World, SM 64, SM Sunshine, SM Galaxy, SM 3D Land) Super Mario Odyssey is my favorite Mario game of all-time.

    I've played this game twice. The first time through, I really enjoyed it but didn't love it as much as Mario World or 64.

    I've played this game twice. The first time through, I really enjoyed it but didn't love it as much as Mario World or 64. Now that I've taken the time to go back through it, I can definitively say it's my favorite Mario game ever. And I mean EEEEEEVER. I'm not sure why, but I just appreciate so much more about it this second time through.

    If you love Mario games, this one is a can't-miss. It's an absolute masterpiece, a celebration of and tribute to the entire Mario series, and I can't stress it enough - this game is INSANELY fun. Sure, some of the moons you collect in the game are extremely easy to get, but some are extremely challenging so there is a nice balance. I love that each world offers unique purple coins and unique rewards for collecting them. Another cool thing - costumes! It's such a simple thing, but such a FUN thing to be able to play the game in different costumes. The music is GREAT with some snappy new tunes and some throwback tunes sprinkled in. I find that the control is tight and responsive. And my favorite thing about the game (unlike most of the other Mario games I've played) - after you complete the story, more things are unlocked for you to do! And not just a few things. There is a LOT to do after you finish the story and, to any Mario 64 fans out there, I'll just say (spoiler free of course) that I think you'll geek out HARD after you finish the story. It's rare to "beat" a game and then have an even cooler reward to enjoy after you beat it, but this game offers that. At least, to me it does.

    Anyway, if you're thinking about this game, at a MINIMUM, just try it. Rent it, borrow it, just play it in some way. I very highly doubt you'll be disappointed.

    Super Mario Odyssey is one of my favorite video games EVER. To each their own, but I don't get the hate from some of the other reviewers. To me, this game is an all-time great. 10/10    … Expand

    Super Mario Odyssey was the first Mario game in years that didn’t feel generic or soulless to me. It was one of the most important releases of all time in my opinion. Not as revolutionary as Mario 64 but it’s still my favorite Mario game and my favorite game of all time.

    Next switch game that I was able to finish after a long time. The game was made fun, Nintendo really delivered a masterpiece in the Mario universe, terrific. Unfortunately I didn't have a Wii or Wii U, so my last real Mario adventure was on the Gamecube.

    Story:

    Saving Peach again, but that's just part of it, but I liked it a lot and was beautifully presented. Just the typical Mario charm.

    Graphics / presentation:

    You really have to take off your hat here, the worlds are simply beautifully designed throughout and arouse such an unbelievable desire for discovery that I rarely experience in games. An unbelievable attention to detail does the rest, perfect. The music and individual sounds of the game make you kneel down and also awaken some nostalgic feelings. Many references are also available in the game, as far as you know them.

    Gameplay:

    One word Cappy !!!! This new game mechanic is perfectly implemented and really puts you in a good mood. The various possibilities that are opened up are wonderfully integrated into the world and make collecting the moons even more interesting. The level of difficulty of the game is very pleasant and sometimes you have to see the mechanics of boss fights before you can lay them down.

    Scope:

    Moons, outfits etc. in this game there are simply tons to do and after the story ends it continues, Mushroom Palace. You get a hell of a lot of worlds and can play the whole thing co-op, really strong.

    Conclusion:

    Far from finished with Mario and still completely enthusiastic about Odyssey. I still have a lot to do in this game, just collecting the remaining moons will take a long time and everything else will be unlocked too. The game made a consistently positive impression on me and I can't think of anything to criticize. Therefore 10/10 stars.    … Expand

    Moons are an absolute joy to collect. Every time you see and catch one you feel a burst of joy and happiness.

    The worlds were very beautiful and creative, each with their own little gimmicks. Though some of the worlds felt small and boring to me, it did not take away the amazing feel obtained from the other amazing worlds like New Donk City. The festival sequence in New Donk was one of the best feelings I've had playing a game ever.

    One complaint of the game I've seen from others is that it's an easy game, which is true. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion. Gameplay against the bosses still felt exciting and creative, with all the beautiful designs to keep you amazed.

There is 999 moons to collect, and each moon tests your ability with each movement option available, the movement options are his ground pound, his roll, his back-flip, his side-flip, long jump, cappy throw, triple jump and dive.

    After completing the game you get 2 unlockable areas to keep pushing you to get all the moons and keep playing.

    God, this game is so good. I think it has its flaws but overall it is a masterpiece in my opinion.
    Gameplay wise it innovates a lot and, even though we'd already seen an open world mario in the past this is like an upgrade of sunshine's and 64's open world, because their world feel alive and not empty , it also obligates us to explore the world. I'll talk about the moons later. Its motion controls can feel annoying and forced if you don't like them, but if you do like it it feels pretty funny to use. And cappy my goodness is so fun to use, it is a great way to get enemies out of the way. It also provides a new way of moving from place to place and if you learn how to use it properly you can do huge jumps.

    The moons are a good replacement of the stars but not the best it could be. There are worlds with such obvious moons that you could get to the end of the game without even exploring and you can also buy them. I know that this game is also for kids but they could also have also made the game a bit more difficult. But if you want to have all the moons it'll be more difficult and sometimes you will explore every single corner of the worlds.

    The purple coins is a perfect collectable for this game, they fell rewarding as you gain them, they're difficult to find (sometimes) and they can be used as money to buy clothings. There is not much to say 'bout this but that they are a perfect addition to the game.

    I love the worlds of this game, I don't understand why people hate new donk city. These worlds are vivid, it's inhabitants are so charming, most of them never feel empty and you always feel as if you were in totally different world. But there are some worlds that lack of things to do and the worst thing is that they had potential of being one of the best kingdoms in the entire game.

    The score is beautiful and matches every kingdom perfectly, the graphics are gorgeous for what we've seen in a Mario game even with its downgrades. The level design is perfect as all Mario games, and the new enemies are fantastic.

    The story is simple as all Mario games but it fells natural so, I don't have any problems with it.
    And for last and not least the boss battles; the broodals are an interesting subject and they're funny the first time you fight them, but then they feel repetitive and boring. And the other bosses are so fun and creative. The final boss is quite easy you fight bowser twice and both are pretty easy which is no good even though it feels rewarding I expected more. But when I thought I finished the game, we capture bowser and we try to escape the moon. I loved the theme and gameplay wise it was a fantastic experience and then you finished the game.

    I have nothing more to say I just love this game. Probably one of my favorites of all time-    … Expand

This is actually the first Mario game that I was able to finish. If feels like Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 3D World had a child (while that doesn't sound that good, its 3:02am so cut me some slack). Overall good game, would recommend.

    If you like platforming then this game is for you. Nintendo struck gold again on this one and dispute the short main story there are several hours more of completionist and endgame content. Honestly if you have a switch and have not played this game, I don’t know what you’re waiting for.

    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]
