    This game is great! I definitely recommend this game to anyone who enjoys 3d platformers and enjoys the Mario franchise.

    This game is fantastic. It’s really beautiful for a handheld game, the controls are buttery smooth, but most of all it’s just plain fun. Each moon feels super satisfying to collect. There aren’t any of them that are too tricky which might not be for everyone, but for me each one felt special. There’s like a billion different costumes and collectibles and they’re really fun to pick up. TheThis game is fantastic.

Some moves can only be used by using motion controls and that’s really annoying. I thought Nintendo was past gimmicky motion controls, but I guess I was wrong. Either way it’s a must have for the Switch.… Expand

    SuperMarioOdyssey is a realy nice mario 3d game, with a funny story and a beatiful open world design, the settings are sometimes a bit weird but usually nice and very complex.

    Super Mario Odyssey is a success of the Switch. It offers the luxury of being the most open world Mario 3D (without being too much).

    Super Mario Odyssey est un indispensable de la Switch, qui a su offrir au joueur la sensation de véritablement voyager dans un univers Mario. Ici, pas de niveaux, juste des mondes plus ou moins grands mais surtout plus remplis. On regrettera juste le nombre trop important de lunes.

The worst things I have to say about Super Mario Odyssey is the constant nagging about motion controls, which in all reality is a personal preference, and of course the ending, which once again, story is not something the mainline Super Mario series is known for. To summarize, the game play is spot on, movement is the best in any platforming game I have EVER played, and most importantly it is as Mario as Mario can be!… Expand

    Along with breath of the wild, my favorite game on the nintendo switch. Again with this delivery, Mario is crowned as the king of video games. Excellent technical and artistic section. Fun and addictive until raging. Easy to play but difficult to master. New mechanics and spectacular movements. Nothing bad to say about this game. 10/10.

    I loved playing this Mario game, but I feel that Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 on the Wii are still my favourite Mario games (maybe Mario 64 as well) as they were part of my early childhood. Innovative as any Mario game, the lack of powerups may have brung my interest down a bit, let alone the score down one. 9/10
    Great game, but it could be better.

    This game is a phenomenal. Everything is amazing. The character/map style, level design, story line, game mechanics. Its all perfect. This is actually the first Mario game that I was able to finish. If feels like Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 3D World had a child (while that doesn't sound that good, its 3:02am so cut me some slack). Overall good game, would recommend.

    If you like platforming then this game is for you. Nintendo struck gold again on this one and dispute the short main story there are several hours more of completionist and endgame content. Honestly if you have a switch and have not played this game, I don’t know what you’re waiting for.

    Really excellent, lighthearted fun. That a game like this has two-player couch coop just puts it over the top. I got all the power moons and don’t regret it a bit—it has the feel, look, and flavor that a restful, simple, silly game should have.

    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]
