    Incredibly fun and beautiful. Gorgeous range of art styles present throughout the game that are all a pleasure through play through and while the game is relatively easy, there are definitely some more challenging puzzles and moons.

    ¡¡UN 10!!, me parece muy divertido el poder transformarte en cosas, jugabilidad perfecta (como en todos los super mario), ojala haya una segunda parte. No me divertia tanto desde super mario sunshine y super mario 64

    Excellent in every aspect.

    This is what differentiates the Switch.

    Play on the XBOX / PS4 and be required to pay more for the whole game...

    or just buy Nintendo and get the FULL game at purchase.

    Quisiera ponerle mas, pero pensandolo analiticamente, es el peor mario 3d, lo disfrute bastante pero no es la gran cosa, si no fuera por que hay demasiadas lunas, y el diseño de nivel y momentos y musica esta por debajo de los demas marios 3d, seria exelente, pero un juego no solo son mecanicas, una lastima.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ¿Jugaron con plastilina de niños? compararía este juego con esa sensación simplemente puedes estar ahí haciendo nada y es absolutamente gratificante y divertido.
    La historia no es impresionante ni tampoco creo que sea un problema, pero las animaciones tienen un nivel muy bueno como si de una película de Pixar. tiene excelente música y la ambientación es muy variada y original.
    Los jefes son en su mayoría increíbles, mi favorito fue el dragón y lo mejor es que puedes volver a retarlos con mayor dificultad de nuevo.
    como todo juego de Super Mario es un 10 perfecto en gameplay pero en esta entrega hay mucho menos contenido que en anteriores títulos aunque pueda que este sea el que mayor rejugabilidad tenga.    … Expand

    It's been over 2 years since Switch came out and this is still the best Nintendo game for Switch for me. Mario is really funny, boss fights are fair and sense of exploration is awesome. Riding J in the desert has been so much fun.

    I can't fault the production values of this game, everything is top notch. The ability to be able to jump into your enemies works really well. Level designs are clever and imaginative. The way they incorporate the 8 bit Mario is also done very well. Cappy is a good addition but in two player (though he's not as fun as you think he might be). So why only a 7?

Cappy is a good addition but in two player (though he's not as fun as you think he might be). So why only a 7? Well, for me the later Mario games (Odyssey, Galaxy, etc) although very cleverly done, can't escape the fact that platform games in this day and age are, to be blunt, quite tedious. It's a game genre from forty years ago, and for me is just too simplistic. I'd much rather be playing a fast sonic level, or shooter like fortnite, or rpg like the wticher. Nintendo have done brilliantly well to keep Mario as high profile as he is, but at the end of the day jumping on top of things is really quite boring.… Expand

    After watching the Nintendo Switch reveal event in January of 2017, it was very apparent what were the two pieces of switch software everyone would be craving for. The legend of zelda breath of the wild, and Super Mario Odyssey. I bought my switch solely because of those two games.

IAfter watching the Nintendo Switch reveal event in January of 2017, it was very apparent what were the two pieces of switch software everyone would be craving for. The legend of zelda breath of the wild, and Super Mario Odyssey. I bought my switch solely because of those two games. Breath of the wild immediately didn't disappoint, where as Odyssey is much different, for many reasons. I envisioned myself getting lost in the kingdoms and mechanics of odyssey after all of the fantastic trailers we were treated to, but sadly at first that never happened. I found myself having fun but not immersed. The cappy mechanic wasn't as engaging as I thought it would be. I beat the game fairly quickly and was finished. I decided the game was a decent 7 or 8 and was done with it. My intentions wasn't to go back and play the game but with a portable console sometimes you just need to pass the time. Much of 2019 I've found myself exploring all of the kingdoms and searching for as many moons as I could. I never did this during my first play-through and that was a big mistake. What I've learned in doing this is the moons aren't there as some worthless collectible just to pass the time and find on your way. The moons are there to encourage the player to explore the world and its mechanics. I've had a blast exploring each and every corner of these kingdoms to find my next moon. You instinctively check every box, every corner, to find those elusive moons. There's real enjoyment in trying something different or looking in the areas you've never looked and adding another one to the collection. And along the way you see the real beauty of the game in doing so. Super Mario Odyssey deserves its praise and is a true quality exclusive for the switch. As far as my opinion? It isn't perfect but it's so very close to that mark. Looking forward to seeing what's next in Mario's legendary journey, because if odyssey proves one thing, it's that's there's no telling where we'll go next.… Expand

    I do love this game even though it does has a lot of glitches and straight up flaws in the game. The game's concept is good but I feel like it had a lot of potential, and at times the game can just be boring and incredibly easy. But overall If you don't have this game you really should think of buying it.

    The main game is some of the most fun I have ever had with a game but after 500 moons the games gets a little repetitive.

    I have no words. This game is a MASTERPIECE. No platformer can compete. Controls are great, level design is top-notch, even classic boss formula is amazing! Great twist at the end! Fantastic moveset! Only a Sony Pony/Xbot could hate on this masterpiece.

    There isn't much fun in walking around the exact same area for hours looking for some moons. The boss fights are just typical boss fights. If you aren't a child or buying this for your child, stay away. Get Super Mario Maker 2.

    By all means, it's still a good game with some great ideas, but having finished it I can't think of one kingdom I actually loved and couldn't wait to play again, or one (pleasantly) memorable piece of music--which is a first for a Mario game, for me anyway.

Some music didn't fit the scene well at all (Seaside, I'm looking at you), and I found the various shops and items to be needless. Why would I want to buy all this crap for the inside of my ship that you see for about 5 minutes total?

    Still, a good game. Just not in the same league as Mario 64 or Galaxy. People need to chill.    … Expand

    Nice graphics, lovely atmosphere, great music, big replayability.
    Only drawback it’s that is quite easy to pass. Of course if you want to find every moon it will get complicated at some point, but exploration shouldn’t be the only big challenge in the game

The story is quick to get through and the lovely thing is there's so much to return to afterwards. New Donk City is beautiful to explore.

    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]
