La duración del juego base es muy corta, cuando uno gana siente que no se demoro nada ¿donde esta el resto del jeugo? fue lo primero que me pregunte. SI luego hay la posibilidad de ir por peach con muchas mas lunas y hacer el interminable lista de logros del Reino de los Hongos. Pero no es para nada comparable con las 49 galaxias de mario Galaxy 2.

    No siento que sea un juego malo, para nada, pero no un 8.9 siento que le falto mucho contenido más que su predecesores. Tenia mucho para explotar, aunque los lugares son re jugables hasta obtener TODO, se siente muy corto y pequeño.

    First 10 hrs Odyssey is amazing with newly capture mechanic, sleeping T-rex, Ton of secret collectable moons. After 20 hours game is repetitive as hell. However, I could not stop collecting all the **** moons so I revised my score to the top-tier zone.

    The tight controls and open world game play makes Super Mario Odyssey a blast to play. On top of that, the graphics make this game gorgeous to look at. It's not as good as Galaxy 2, but it still a fun game from beginning to end.

    I really enjoyed Super Mario Odyssey. I have played through almost every Mario game, and Odyssey is my second favorite of them all, behind 64. The level design is brilliant.

The soundtrack is forgettable for the most part, but there are a few good tracks. Mulitplayer mode is disappointing. Playing as Cappy is boring for Player 2 and makes the game less intuitive for PLayer 1. In terms of difficulty, Odyssey isn't particularly difficult. There are no lives. Whenever you "die", you lose coins. There were a few tricky sections, but for the most part Odyssey wasn't extremely challenging. But that's not a bad thing at all. It wasn't too easy, or too difficult. Just right. Overall, Odyssey is an essential game to own if you have a Switch.… Expand

    Back at the Switch presentation in January 2017 and E3 2017, I was pretty skeptical about this game. Almost everyone else was like: "Wow! This will be the best Mario game ever!". I, instead, had low expectations because ever since 2010, I've felt the franchise had experienced a serious downfall, and my hype was on Breath of the Wild, Fire Emblem Warriors and Xenoblade 2. Instead of seeingBack at the Switch presentation in January 2017 and E3 2017, I was pretty skeptical about this game. Almost everyone else was like: "Wow! This will be the best Mario game ever!". I, instead, had low expectations because ever since 2010, I've felt the franchise had experienced a serious downfall, and my hype was on Breath of the Wild, Fire Emblem Warriors and Xenoblade 2. Instead of seeing a masterpiece in the trailers, I just saw a 5 or 6/10 game, but decided to give it the benefit of doubt, and not jump to immediate conclusions. Eventually, I got my hands on the Switch, and Super Mario Odyssey as well, and decided to give it a chance. And as you can see by this 8/10, I believe it's pretty clear that the game largely exceeded my initial expectations, but it still left something to be desired.

    Firstly, the game marks the first time Mario's cap serves any purpose besides being part of Mario's design. In this game, the cap is an entity named Cappy, who assists Mario on his journey to save Princess Peach, because Tiara (Cappy's sister) was taken by Bowser as well. Cappy can do multiple things in this game, such as allowing Mario to control other beings or acting as some sort of platform for Mario to extend his jumps. The game features several areas (kingdoms) to explore. In them you can collect Power Moons, which are required to advance in the main story. There's so many Power Moons in the game that it can take a long time to gather them all, depending on how much time you dedicate to the game. I also love the visuals in this game (best-looking Mario title I've played), as well as those segments where you become 2D Mario in segments that resemble the original Super Mario Bros. back in 1985. And it's also cool how you can customize your ship and get special outfits for Mario.

    However, I have several complaints. The story is pretty much the same as always. The difficulty is low for most of the time, except in some Bonus rooms or in Boss Rematches. It's cool how Mario can wear several types of costumes, but I wish they served any other purpose aside from allowing you to get access to some rooms, like having some sort of special ability, a strength and a weakness. The bosses are awesome-looking, but nearly all of them are underwhelming in dificulty, even Bowser himself. The music is very forgettable, except for maybe 2 or 3 tracks. The motion controls in the game feel so forced. Cappy may give a lot of gameplay options, but character-wise, he's the worst companion Mario has ever had. And Nintendo seems to have attempted to create a group of villains to replace the Koopalings, but they failed terribly: the Broodals. All of them are highly dislikeable, have extremely easy boss fights and are so generic and boring.

    Super Mario Odyssey is a good game to a certain extent. Sure, it exceeded my 5/10 expectations, but it still isn't the first game I'd recomend parents to give their son/daughter for Christmas with a Nintendo Switch. However, the game is fun, and you will probably enjoy it all the way.    … Expand

I completed the main story in about 8 hours (about 80% of purple coins and 261 moons). I was not looking everywhere, but I was looking. There is a power moon and/or a mini-game every 2-3 minutes if you look properly. I really like collectibles, but 999 power moons is just too much lol 250 would have been more than enough. I think I will replay it to try to gather 500 moons, but I am not sure yet. The music is good as usual, but nothing incredible. I personally played with the detached joy-con and I really enjoyed the experience!

    As a long time Mario fan I found this game to be extremely disappointing.
    I will not go into details, pretty much 60% of the negative reviews pointed out the flaws of that game and explained in details the problems.

    The problems of that game being that it is:
    -Easy, but I mean TOO EASY, even a 3 years old would be able to complete it. Mario Galaxy was aimed at a young audience, but atleast it was a bit challenging, I don't say no to such easy difficulty, but give us the possibility to choose for a higher difficulty for the a little more "extreme" players;
    -Bland and empty, the level design is so awful and honestly, it hurts me to say that but even another mediocre Sonic game known as Sonic Forces had a better level design. Well, the bad level design is especially in the overworld, when you enter one special stage it gets a little better, but that's not saying much;
    -The story, no comment it's just bad;
    -The music is inexistant;
    -Open World/Collectathon don't mix well with platformers. I think that many can agree that the base idea was bad, Zelda BOTW was a lot less hated because the base idea wasn't awful. Zelda BOTW is using the Dark Souls formula and is beautiful, making up for an excellent open world. Mario Odyssey, looks, feels and pretty is boring, empty and soulless. The team working for Mario Odyssey clearly have never done a single open world/sandbox/collectathon before and this is where comes the incompetency;
    -It is full of nostalgia and that's pretty much why it gets much praise, honestly it doesn't make it bad, but I wanted to point it out;
    -No charm, at all;
    -Overall boring: See points stated before;

    I'm also expecting some sort of censorship on Metacritic, especially considering that there are 223 negative ratings for 16 negative reviews, while there are 89 mixed ratings for 49 mixed reviews. I might be paranoid, but if my review happen to disappear, hopefully you will remember it.
    And please guys, understand that this game is not as good as you make it look like, again I didn't go in dept with my review, but many other people did successfully tell you what was wrong with it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. By far the best Super Mario game. I've played all of them and this one is awesome. The story is incredible and the ending is awesome. Even when you finish the game there is so much to do. Such as revisiting kingdoms to collect more power moons and playing mini games. You can even customize Mario and the odyssey. They also make coins useful in this game. It can be used as currency to buy stuff and you loose 10 coins when you die. There are also purple coins that are unique to each stage which can be used to customize Mario and the odyssey. The most comparable came to Super Mario Odyssey is Super Mario Galaxy. The game takes so many traits from Galaxy, sunshine and 64. For example the health bar from Galaxy, cappy-less stages like flood-less stages from sunshine, and the fact that you can change into the old 64 Mario model in the mushroom kingdom is absolutely awesome. there are so many 64 references that you have to play to have the full experience.… Expand

    Level Design

    Almost every level in this game is gold. From sand kingdom's sprawling expanses to metro kingdom's hustle and bustle to luncheon kingdom's food -themed delight, every new kingdom holds a new suprise.

    Mechanics

    Cappy is a wonderful addition to the cast of this game, and as mario's companion, he has a lot of cool moves. my personal favorite is his ability to possess many of the game's enemies. controling timeless enemies like the Goomba, Bullet Bill and Chain Chomp is a blast, and many of the boss fights are desinged with this mechanic in mind.

    Story

    This game's story is pretty basic. Bowser has kidnapped Peach so that he can marry her, and Mario and Cappy have to stop him. over the course of the game he steals many wedding-related items from the kingdoms, such as a ring from the Sand Kingdom, a Dress from the Lake Kingdom, and so on.

    Conclusion

    I'd say this game is very, very good. the only problem that I have with it is that it's maybe a little too easy, and by that I mean the actual story part of the game is a little to easy, but that's about it. thanks for reading my review. bye!    … Expand

    This title truly became enjoyable for me only in post-game. Most of the pre-Bowser content is so easy that there is no sense of accomplishment at all - and there is even an easier mode with more guidance! I never expect Mario games to be very hard due because they're targeting a broad audience, but compared to previous main entries this one was just too easy during the first 10 hours.This title truly became enjoyable for me only in post-game.

    Now, later in the game, for those aiming to get all the moons, it gets much more challenging and fun - and sometimes frustrating, too. The good side of that game is that it offers a lot of post-game content and replay value, even for experienced platforming gamers. After 30 hours of playtime, I collected about 2/3 of all the moons and I'm still having a lot of fun with the game. I'm recommending this one for everyone, but most gamers will likely have to spend several hours before getting into the fun stuff.    … 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]

    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]
