    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Das Spiel ist Super geil hat ein langes Spiel Erlebnis wenn man die 100% möchte und hat viele Neuerungen wie Z. B das man Cappy werfen kann nochmal auf Cappy springen kann Gegner Capern kann und und und auch schön finde ich das man mit der Odyssey in die Verschiedensten Welten mit den unterschiedlichsten Themen fliegen kann und diese komplett frei Erdkunde kann somit ist es quasi OPEN World jedoch ist jede Welt ein wenig begrenzt und wenn man runterfällt oder irgendwie anders stirbt werden automatisch zehn Münzen abgezogen. Auch schön finde ich die Enden mit Bowser und die vielen Glitches und Hacks. Außerdem gibt es viele verschiedee Varianten um Münzen zu Farmen wobei Luigi's Ballon Jagd die schnellste Variante ist.

    For me it's the best game on the Switch, the mechanic with cap is amazing, its a beautiful game, the game rewards you for the grinding, everything is perfect! A master piece, i love it every second.

    Such an amazing game. So glad I had this experience. To be completely honest, at first, I was really not enjoying it when I started to play it. I felt it was way too easy and uninteresting (there are so many moons and some you basically just have to ground pound the right spot on the ground and wow you get a moon). I started the game with a bad attitude that made it unenjoyable. I realizedSuch an amazing game. So glad I had this experience.

I felt it was way too easy and uninteresting (there are so many moons and some you basically just have to ground pound the right spot on the ground and wow you get a moon). I started the game with a bad attitude that made it unenjoyable. I realized that this game was meant to be different. It is an Odyssey, meaning you are supposed to explore and just have a good time. When I changed to this mindset I had so much more fun. It was such a blast exploring all the amazingly designed open worlds and collecting as many moons as I could, not matter how easy they were to get. And don't get me wrong, there are plenty of insanely hard levels that will satisfy even the best gamers (Long Journey's end and Breakdown road). God I love this game, If you are going to play it, remember it's supposed to be more of an exploration game that has plenty of super fun and hard platforming levels. Must buy. Expand

    Oh, my God! What have you done to the game?
    I've never played such a fun game in my life.
    No matter how much fun a game is, you'll get tired of it once or twice, but this Super Mario Odyssey never gets tired of it even if you 100 times. Of course, I don't get tired of Zelda's legends hundreds of times. That's the advantage of the Nintendo switch.

    This has is "THE MODERN PLATFORMER" game. If it would be the single reason to buy Nintendo Switch, it's still would pay off and be worth it. Absolutely brilliant. Mario's story is fun, the cap as sidekick is magnificent and the gameplay is soo good.

    This game is a masterpiece. Nintendo really put a lot into making this game which makes it almost impossible for me to find anything bad about this game. If you ever buy a switch this is the first game I suggest to get with it as it is good for beginners and pros

    Masterfully crafted. The mechanics and controls are the most satisfying I've ever used, and the most fun. It has so much potential in what you can do gameplay wise. That's not even mentioning the very likeable and unique characters you encounter throughout the game, breaking the relative monotony of some other Mario games.

    After completing its main story, Super Mario Odyssey has not only become my favorite game on the Nintendo Switch, but also my favorite title of all time.

You will notice excellent execution in all departments, including soundtracks, visuals, gameplay, innovation, and replay value. Without a doubt, this game is a modern return to sandbox-style games like Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, both absolute great experiences in their respective ways. As for someone still debating whether or not to buy this game, it is worth every penny of your well-earned money. Trust me, you will have a blast visiting each kingdom, all of which have different landscapes and vast areas to explore. Couple that with being able to purchase items with in-game currency to dress Mario according to the climate or vibe in a region, and you have a title born to be executed perfectly. If you are on the fence regarding purchasing Super Mario Odyssey, I would advise you not to listen to users who gave this game a Metacritic score of zero. Judging by the way they wrote their reviews, they tend to cling to a certain topic and repeat statements about the game's difficulty. I will agree that some boss battles are leaning toward the easier side of things, but that does not devalue the challenging objectives which this title is loaded with. It is certainly a perfect game for both adults and children, though users who chose the lowest possible score would likely disagree. Gamers that claim "Nintendo games are children's toys" in general likely haven't even played one in their lives. The same goes for those who gave Super Mario Odyssey an unfair goose egg. These users haven't even played the title, but are simply latching onto lies regarding the game's difficulty or age range. Some even think the game deserves a rank of seven or eight, but put a zero to balance out the perfect scores other users selected! This title is fantastic despite any minor flaws it presents, and I will return to it for years to come. Expand

Como siempre, la historia es sencilla, pero aquí no buscamos eso. Buscamos escenarios grandes que explorar y con secretos que conseguir. Tiene un contenido que es enfermizo, sobre todo en conseguir todas las lunas, que creo que eran 999. Las nuevas mecánicas, como el sombrero, me parece muy buena y con muchas opciones a la hora de superar obstáculos, controlar enemigos, etc.. A nivel visual, el juego es precioso y cada mundo que visitamos es algo nuevo. En ocasiones, pasamos del 3D al 2D, homenajeando a los clásicos de Mario. Hay mucho contenido secundario, como los diferentes atuendos para Mario que desbloqueamos como las monedas que vamos consiguiendo en los mundos. Es uno de los juegos plataformeros más buenos a los que he jugado. Imprescindible jugarlo si te gustan los videojuegos. Expand

    As someone who grew up playing Super Mario 64 and then having only played bits of the other Mario games (besides the old school ones) I found this game to be actually pretty amazing. We all know that the creators of these games always knock it out of the park with it's creativity and grand scale but I truly believe they went beyond what most games are even capable of making.

The fact that your hat now is a character and you can basically throw it at anything and become that object to help you advanced through the levels is just genius in my opinion. Not to mention the tons of nods to past video games and even having you play through the original level of where you meet Donkey Kong for the first time with it's catchy new song was just an awesome experience to behold. If you have a Nintendo Switch, buy this game. If you're a fan of Mario (I mean who isn't at this point) buy this game. A must own for Switch owners and for gamer's of all ages. Expand

    Ok, I've seen a lot of people gushing over the fact that it captures the fell of the original 3D Mario Games, And I've seen a lot of people dismissing their review as being blinded by Nostalgia. So keep in mind, I am a newcomer to 3D Mario games, heck, 3D platformers in general. And let me tell you, THIS. IS. THE. BEST. VIDEO. GAME. EVER!!!

    First of all, the Graphics. A lot of people.

So keep in mind, I am a newcomer to 3D Mario games, heck, 3D platformers in general. And let me tell you, THIS. IS. THE. BEST. VIDEO. GAME. EVER!!!

    First of all, the Graphics. A lot of people. think that because the switch doesn't have such a high resolution as other consoles, it means they cant have good graphics And Mario Oddysey proves these people wrong. From the beautiful landscape to the hyper-realistic textures of the characters, this game is a treat to your eyes.

    And then, in my opinion, the best part of the game, the controls. The sharp and fluent controls of Mario are strengthed by his latest companion. Cappy. Thanks to this hat with an M on it that is controlled by a living ghost also in the shape of a hat (Never thought I'd have to type that) You feel in control at all times. It helps you maneuver and re-position yourself in a way that never makes death feel unfair or something. If you die in this game, You know you screwed up. And because you can also jump on Cappy, It makes previously impossible jumps now a piece of cake.

    One of the most creative aspects of This absolute masterpiece is the capturing aspect. With the help of Cappy, You can capture and control other creatures. I can't describe how fun that is. Like come on, You can be a FREAKIN T-REX.

    In conclusion, You HAVE TO play Mario Oddysey. Even if you don't like platformers, you still should. And even if you don't have a switch, you should still buy it. Yes, this game is SO good you should buy a whole new console to play it. I'm sticking with that.

Mario controls and plays exactly how you’d want, and cappy(your hat) opens up so many new possibilities. Some kingdoms don’t exactly feel like they could exist in the same world as the others, but they are all a blast to explore with the stars of the show being cascade kingdom, metro kingdom, and bowser’s kingdom. As far as gripes go, the base game feels a couple hours too short and a bit too easy, but that’s only because there is such an amazing, fun filled postgame, packed with more(and harder) content.

El modo online es claramente mejorable, Mundoglobo es una pincelada de la cantidad de cosas que se podrían haber implementado, pero siendo sinceros: este juego vive por su modo un jugador. Apenas le dediqué una o dos horas a su modalidad en línea, pues no sentí la necesidad.

    Easily the best 3-D Mario yet. Harkens back to the open exploration of 64 and Sunshine, yet with a much much bigger world to explore, and simply ridiculous amounts of content. The gameplay is creative and diverse, and the platforming segments live up to the best content from the galaxy games.

    Super Mario Odyssey has to be one of the most ambitious Mario attempts yet, and it pays off. No Mario game has ever felt this smooth to play, with the movement being the best the series has ever seen. The level design and story is also really innovative and fun, and the soundtrack isn't half bad either. There isn't anything bad to say about this game, it's a modern classic.

    From beginning to end, this game is a blast all the way through. Cappy controls better than I expected, and the capture mechanic is fun and intuitive. And the game seems never-ending, with more than 800 power moons.

Игра подарила мне кучу положительных эмоций, так что я не могу поставить оценку ниже 10. А вообще по честному игра наверное на 8/10... Но каждый должен в нее поиграть!У игры есть минусы, так например первые уровни скучные и будто не нужные. Но потом игра раскрывается и показывает свой гениальный геймдизайн.

    Joyous, fun and wonderful to play. "Completed" levels reward you returning with new goals. You feel a sense of accomplishment. Amazing lands, glorious music and a dragon that could be straight from Game of Thrones, totally unexpected in Mario's universe.

    El mejor plataformas desde Super Mario Galaxy. Es el rey del género.
    Diseño de mundos a estudiar, cómo implementar diferentes niveles intercalados en un mismo mundo sin necesidad de cargas. El poder de metamorfosis de Mario es sencillamente adictivo y supone distintos modos de movimiento y jugabilidad. No deja de sorprender. Acabar la historia principal es solo el principio: postgame

    Acabar la historia principal es solo el principio: postgame largo y con cierta dificultad si se quieren conseguir todas las lunas.
    La exploración cobra una importancia vital.
    Un estilo visual perfecto: hermoso y con un rendimiento intachable.
    Banda sonora que se recordará a lo largo de los años.
    El mundo de Nueva York tiene el carisma y la epicidad para considerarse uno de los mejores momentos de la historia de los videojuegos.

    No tiene la duración de otros buques insignia como Zelda Breath of the Wild, pero tampoco lo necesita. El ejemplo perfecto de que un videojuego de 20 horas, en las que todas ellas son de calidad, proporciona una mejor experiencia global.

    Super Mario Odyssey was the first switch game I picked up and recently I decided to reboot it and start again.

    I have a little over 30 hours for the main story line and some additional time poking around to find some additional stars. All in all, great value for money!

    This game is huge, not in a matter of open-world (levels are rather small), but in terms of content and playability. I have no idea how many hours you have to spend to fully interact with many aspects and collect all the moons.
    Gameplay and controls are simple yet sometimes it's tricky to get to some hidden places, and that's cool, how it should be.
    Mechanics seem endless but they are limited by the certain amount of objects/NPCs you can control.
    The story itself is original, shares a whole lot about Mario's world! The game is perfectly made for fans.
    Visuals... well that's just Mario. It's not a matter of smooth visuals but it's so colorful and juicy, I loved it.
    Sounds and music. Sound design is on a high level. Music is so diverse, I enjoyed lots of level themes.
    So it's a straight 10/10. You've gotta experience it!

    Its a modern mario game. Even though half of the 1000 moons are easy to get, collecting them all still gives you something to do. There are even some challenging stars to get as well. If you feel you're a hardcore gamer, this is more casual, but still if you want all the moons, will give you enough game time to be worth the $60.

Cappy is a great addition to the game and i hope to see him again because he opens an endless amount of possibilities for the player.

    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]
