    Great fun. Definitely one of the best games and probably my favourite mario platformer. Music's great. Bosses are a bit easy sometimes but it's hard to not love everything about this game. The new donk city level could be expanded into a whole game with the amount of ideas it introduces. Just go play it.

    Esta es una de las entregas culminantes de Mario y, sin embargo, por primera vez quedó algo opacado por un Zelda con Breath of the Wild al salir ambos en 2017, aunque no dejase de vender a mansalva. Pero Super Mario Odyssey fue, de nuevo, un Mario que renovó los juegos de plataformas, llevando el género a nuevas cotas de excelencia.

    Lo primero que habría que señalar es que Super Mario    Esta es una de las entregas culminantes de Mario y, sin embargo, por primera vez quedó algo opacado por un Zelda con Breath of the Wild al salir ambos en 2017, aunque no dejase de vender a mansalva. Pero Super Mario Odyssey fue, de nuevo, un Mario que renovó los juegos de plataformas, llevando el género a nuevas cotas de excelencia.

    Lo primero que habría que señalar es que Super Mario Odyssey retoma los plataformas 3D más basados en la exploración, siendo uno de los Mario más cercanos al género de aventuras, contando con NPCs y tiendas, a diferencia de las anteriores entregas más vinculadas a los plataformas lineales. Es decir, es una vuelta al estilo de Super Mario 64 y Super Mario Sunshine, en los cuales el objetivo no era llegar a una meta en cada nivel sino encontrar una estrella o un sol y luego regresar a encontrar otras. Los dos Super Mario Galaxy, así como Super Mario 3D Land y Super Mario 3D World, recuperaron la linealidad de los Mario 2D, por lo que tras muchos años Super Mario Odyssey vuelve a los Mario centrados en la exploración y, es más, se profundiza como nunca en esto, reforzando su estructura de collectathon. Esta vez no se sale del nivel al encontrar el objeto en cuestión, potenciando la exploración en los diferentes mundos.

    El objeto que necesitamos para avanzar son las energilunas, pero a diferencia de las estrellas y los soles, son muy numerosas. Unas están a la vista mientras que otras están muy escondidas. De esta manera, se crea una dificultad por capas, según el grado de completismo de cada jugador, lo que se incita porque a mayor completismo se puede acceder a más mundos. Es una solución bastante equilibrada para que pueda avanzar en el juego el jugador más torpe y, a la vez, suponer un reto para el más experimentado. Es la primera vez que no hay vidas limitadas en un Mario al estar el desafío en la exploración más que en la superación de niveles.

    Pero sin duda la gran novedad es la de la gorra Cappy. Puede usarse para atacar como un boomerang así como para saltar sobre ella para acceder a plataformas, pero su gran utilidad es la de poder controlar a enemigos y algún objeto, lo que da lugar a una serie de mecánicas originales y variadas, resultando realmente divertido. Por supuesto, la jugabilidad es tan satisfactoria como en cualquier Mario, siendo una gozada simplemente controlar al personaje, lo cuál se potencia esta vez por la riqueza de sus mundos. Las animaciones de Mario son geniales, dotando al personaje de vida, con más expresividad que nunca, y además ahora por mera diversión podemos disfrazar a Mario, contando con trajes tematizados de cada mundo. Existe un modo para dos jugadores pero, como los de Galaxy, es un modesto añadido para que un segundo jugador haga algo, en este caso controlar a Cappy.

    La grandeza de este juego está en sus mundos, llamados reinos. Tenemos 15 reinos, más 2 en el post-game. Teniendo en cuenta que cada uno tiene una estructura de mundo abierto, puede decirse que es una buena cantidad. Pero si uno le encuentra inconveniente a este juego, es que hubiera querido más reinos por lo disfrutables que son, lo cuál habla muy bien del juego. Los Mario siempre han sido largos y éste lo es aunque uno quisiera que lo fuera más, pero su extensión es considerable. Cada reino es vasto, más de lo que nunca lo han sido los niveles en ningún Mario, y perderse y explorar en ellos es una gozada. Además, cada reino se compone de dos partes, puesto que cuando derrotamos al jefe en cuestión, el mundo cambia, pudiendo acceder a nuevas zonas y reexplorarlo.

    El alto nivel de su apartado gráfico hace que cada reino sea espectacular, además de contar con el sobresaliente diseño de niveles marca de la casa. Pero algo a reseñar es la intención de hacer cosas nuevas dentro de un universo que se ha convertido en algo tan cerrado temáticamente como el de los juegos de Mario. Es decir, no nos encontramos con los mismos mundos de siempre, a excepción como homenaje del Reino Champinón y de ciertos guiños como zonas bidimensionales en homenaje al clásico Super Mario Bros (1985). También hay enemigos nuevos, incluso como villanos los Broodals, aunque Bowser siga ahí. La música tampoco se queda en la nostalgia y tenemos una buena cantidad de nuevos temas repletos de personalidad que brillan por su calidad, encanto y originalidad. Una banda sonora que supera las expectativas, a la altura de las clásicas, ¡y esto es mucho decir!

    Esta estructura más abierta puede ser el futuro de los Mario 3D, como ya se mostró en el añadido Bowser's Fury del Super Mario 3D World para Switch, una expansión que se desarrolla en un mundo abierto que muestra cómo podría ser el futuro de la saga.

    Boring and overrated sandbox game, one of the worst Mario game I ever played. Some solutions are really fun, but only for while. If you want great 3D Mario game check 3D All Stars or Bowser's Fury addition to 3D World (and 3D World is much much better than this crap).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wasn't sure how a 3D mario game could get any better. The bar was already set so high but every new kingdom I explored just made the game even better. The core story is paced very tightly while still leaving plenty of room for side exploration and new discoveries to be made. Mechanics are finely tuned and superior to all other 3D Mario games I've played and the worlds to explore are simply unmatched.

    Just when I thought of something they could do to improve the game, I discover something so much better than what I thought of and I'm having fun collecting hidden moons long after I've completed the core game. What really is the icing on the cake however is the overall celebration he game delivers for Mario as a franchise. Returning to N64-inspired Peach's castle and completing quests really completes the experience makes this game the ultimate Mario celebration game in my book.

    If you're a long-standing Nintendo/Mario fan, you'll eat this up. If not, you'll probably enjoy the pure fun the game brings to the table anyway.    … Expand

It felt boring, and bland. How could something so epic be something so boring and bland? After many years after trying to replay the game, I tried out something different. As after my first time beating Odyssey, I attempted to find as many stars as possible, making all the fun and interest in the world go to waste. I learned that in order to enjoy Odyssey again, I should explore at my own pace. I started to move on to different worlds once I wondered around. And you know what, it worked. I never had as much fun in Odyssey, until I started to learn to enjoy the game. And once I finished it, it really did make me glad I finished it. Odyssey is such a unique game. The amount of style is unmatched. While Odyssey is not my favorite Mario game, it sure is one of the best. You just need to learn to enjoy the game. Only three things I can complain about are simply the game being easy, that there should be more to do after the game ends, and that the story does not grab me as other games such as Super Mario Galaxy did. Mario Odyssey is just another example of how unique the 3d Mario games are. The only thing to note is that in order to enjoy the game, you need to enjoy the game! Not overwhelmingly focused on getting the moons and beating the game as fast as possible. Playing Odyssey reminded me that you need to see games like you were a kid again, not focused on all of the challenges, but by letting your curiosity go on.… Expand

    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]
