    The compact worlds of Super Mario Odyssey create a constant cycle of discovery, puzzle-solving, and platforming. All the hidden secrets force you to use everything at your disposal, revealing a wealth of fun interactions.

    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.

    Uma das experiências mais cativantes que eu tive com games. Uma aventura incrível que bebe e honra toda a história do nosso querido herói encanador. Melhor jogo do Mario que já joguei, sem dúvidas!

    El mejor juego de mario(DE PLATAFORMAS)de la última década por esto:buenisima jugabilidad,gran banda sonora,apartado gráfico precioso,originalidad en las mecanicas incluidas en el mismo y por último una magia con la que te sientes como un niño.
    Imprescindible en cualquier poseedor de switch.

    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

    Each kingdom in this game is super unique. From the bowser kingdom to the cap these kingdoms are awesome. The new donk city stage has lots of things with donkey kong and it was awesome. The 100% side of things isn't the greatest but collecting each moon is a blast. Unfortunately the game is easy to cheat for 999 moons with the buying system and it still counts to the total.

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

    O melhor jogo do Nintendo Switch, ele te da muita liberdade, tem gráficos fantásticos e personagens carismáticos. A mecânica de se transformar em vários personagens icônicos e em personagens novos, criados para o jogo te dá mais liberdade ainda e deixa o jogo muito mais divertido e menos repetitivo.

    I personally believe this game does not beat Super Mario 64 BUT it does beat Super Mario Sunshine it is a true master class in the platform genre and it is all on the go. So much content to play with fun and creative worlds to run around in. If you have/want a SWITCH this and Breath of the Wild is a perfect combo to go with.

    An incredibly great game. The graphics, the design, the levels, the ideas ... in general everything about the game fits perfectly. The only thing which is really sad: the game is really short and really easy, it was forgotten very fast after I finished it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was a pretty good game, but I feel that the different worlds were short and kind of blended together into the same thing with different objectives. I did like when Bowser interrupted the flight mid-game and we had a brawl in the clouds, and I also enjoyed the fight with the dragon, but those moments were short-lived and I felt that the worlds were reused material with different characters. Overall, it was a fun game, but wasn't developed enough. I did like the capture ability, though. I also thought you should've needed more moons to move on to another world.… Expand

Seul défaut, y a trop de lune, des lunes partout, alors même si c'est dans le but de pouvoir jouer 5 minutes et avoir une ou deux lunes, sur des sessions longues c'est vite agaçant.

    Super Mario Odyssey is an instant classic for Mario and Nintendo fans of all time. The Switch has shown time and time again that with the limitations it has, great games can come from the hybrid. Mario Odyssey is no exception. The game is a spectacular return to the 3D Mario formula that was established by 64 and expanded on by Sunshine.

    While graphics aren’t the most important thing in    Super Mario Odyssey is an instant classic for Mario and Nintendo fans of all time. The Switch has shown time and time again that with the limitations it has, great games can come from the hybrid. Mario Odyssey is no exception. The game is a spectacular return to the 3D Mario formula that was established by 64 and expanded on by Sunshine.

    While graphics aren’t the most important thing in video games, thay do need to look good. Nintendo pulled off graphics that look both realistic and cartoony. Every single kingdom has its own themes and color palette that differentiates each kingdom. While every ‘bonus room’ looks very similar and simple, they don’t look too bland.

    The controls in Odyssey are fluid and an absolute dream to play with. Just jumping around as Mario is always entertaining, and crappy adds so many new movement options. Not even counting captures, Mario can move in so many new ways and they’re all fun.

    While the captures are fun, they do get stale after some time. It is fun to capture things and move around as them, but some are only used for a few things and the capture mechanic isn’t as fleshed out as i hoped it was. The new enemies are great as usual, but many fan favorites weren’t included.

    The story is basically the same as any other mainline Mario game, and while it gets the job done, I wish it was expanded on a little bit.

    The moons at first are very satisfying to get, but they do get tedious after a while. The ones just floating out in the open without any challenge and seem to only be there to bloat out the moon count are irritating.

    Overall, the game is great to play and control, but it does get bland and stale at times.    … Expand

    Gosh! What a damn pleasure the entirety of this game is. There is so much content and nostalgia that will lure you back in even when puzzles or activities become frustrating. For the intense gamer and the causal one, this game is a must-buy. Worth the price of the Switch just for the game itself. Enjoy!

My first nintendo game I owned was Mario 64, and I thought nothing would be able to top the magical experience of playing that game for the first time, but Odyssey has proved otherwise. Huge worlds full of interesting things to find and explore, numerous secret levels and challenges to overcome, and a tight control scheme that is easy to pick up but with enough added complexity to make it fun and rewarding to master. This is a game I have played multiple times without getting tired. If you want to share the joy of playing video games with children for the first time, this is one of the greatest games to do it in the present.… Expand

    A nice surprise, so much to do in such beautiful environments. Only downfall is a quite short story, I would have enjoyed a couple extra worlds more for the postgame rather than collecting coins. Anyway, one of the best games for Switch, a must buy.

    Quite possibly the best game on the Switch.
    The controls are insanely polished, the level design is expansive and unique, the majority of the Moons are fun to try to collect, and they finally remembered how to make a storyline in a 3D platformer Mario game work.
    Also you can make Mario wear a sombrero.

    Nothing special, not a major fan of Mario, but... the experience is just lackluster

    It is a cool game to have, but no major gameplay, history or anything special at all

    Others are right about the game being easy, but i still liked it. I think though by the end I was just not feeling it as much and so never bothered to collect/complete everything, I was just burnt out. I think it's a solid title but wouldn't be in my "best of" collection.

    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]
