    I'm not a platformer guy but I loved this game from start to finish. If you don't have anything to play, definitely pick this game up.

    Este juego cumple lo que promete te entretiene y es original mi único problema es la duración del juego ya en un día o menos (Solo la Campaña principal) ya que lo haría el juego mas extenso son las energilunas pero fuera de eso esta muy bueno el juego

    This game is great. I used to not like it that much because of it being more of a collecathon rather than a platformer. The more I play it, the more I like it and it's really fun to capture enemies as well as collect moons different ways.

    I liked the game, its mechanics are very well polished.
    for me the only defect is that the kingdoms are very saturated with moons

    Топовый платформер поколения. Отличная графика и геймплей, который постоянно меняется и подкидывает новые испытания. Луны все так и не собрал(

    9 porque hay lunas que sin ayuda son imposibles de conseguir pero en general el mejor juego de Mario

    This game is excellent!!!! Only issue with the game is that it is way too easy for veterans of the franchise such as me but if you are new to Mario or Nintendo, this IS a MUST BUY.

    It's good, but it's not Galaxy-good. A bit too open world and not enough platforming for me, still a must-play though if you have a Switch but I'm not convinced I'll ever revisit it.

    A great Mario game, incredible platforming but it has few flaws that hold back the pacing, and collecting the moons felt like a chore.

    Final Rating: "Fantastic ~ 8.5/10.

    Look, i am not gonna beat around the bush. This is an excellent Mario game for sure. Its polished, the Cappy mechanic is fanastic, the levels are super memorable and it also seems Myamoto can finally accept a little bit of a Story in a Mario game.
    I do find Power Moons to be unique and nice, but there are def far too many of them.
    The controls are great, though the music is just really

    Excellent Game. Such beautiful platforming in a tight and pretty game. I do wish there was a mode between "assist" and normal mode, because i spend a lot of time listless.... not knowing what to do. Every bit as good as mario 64. Truly a great game.

    Quite possibly the best 3D Mario game to date. Everything that was an issue with the previous games; Mario 64's age, Sunshine's jankiness, and the Galaxy games' linearity were all fixed.

    My favorite Mario game of all time. The controls are smooth, responsive and precise, the worlds are filled with color, and are visually appealing. The hat capturing gimmick is also really fun. Never before have i been able to play as a goomba

    Es un buen juego de plataformas, tiene partes muy asequibles y otras complicadas para los que buscan un mayor reto y ser completistas, este mario me gustó mas que Sunshine.

    Open world a couper le souffle.

    Chaque planète a son charme, c'est clairement dépaysant.

    A "long time no see" sandbox Mario game. This Mario game has again showed the suprise of Mario: gameplay, music, and the technical aspect, I was blown by the 3D-2D transition in some stage. I was thinking how d they do that??!??

    Anyway a must play game for Switch user

    Juego bastante sólido, contiene muchas horas de entretenimiento pero si debo decir algo malo son los jefes. Tienen el mismo patrón de saltar 3 veces para derrotarlos y es muy repetitivo

    Very detail and graphically masterful. Fun and cheerful. One of the classic.

    Amazing Gameplay with so much variety. Mario is still heads and shoulders above any other platformer (or atleast the ones i played) GOTY if Zelda didnt exist.

    My absolute favourite game of all time, Its not perfect, but its so good, all the kingdoms feel so uniqe from each other, even the smaller ones are good, the graphics look really solid, mario controls amazingly and the camera is great, it feels like a return to the style of 3d mario from 64 and Sunshine, cappy is a great addition making the games controls 10 times better than they alreadyMy absolute favourite game of all time, Its not perfect, but its so good, all the kingdoms feel so uniqe from each other, even the smaller ones are good, the graphics look really solid, mario controls amazingly and the camera is great, it feels like a return to the style of 3d mario from 64 and Sunshine, cappy is a great addition making the games controls 10 times better than they already are, the soundtrack is phenomenal and all the costumes are so cool.
    Although for this to be a review, i have to also mention the bad parts
    There are way too many moons, sure it helps with the exploration, but it just doesnt feel as special as something like the shines from sunshine, the shiveria kingdom is just underwhelming compared to the other ones and the story could have bent better, and the broodal boss fights are just too easy, and appear way too much.

    Giocone! Un super Mario stravagante molto molto bello. A volerlo completare al 100% ci vogliono diverse decine di ore!

    I really enjoyed the variety of the game, the smooth mechanics and also the music. There is so much to do, and so many different levels. It was just fun from beginning to end.

    This is one of the best Mario games I've ever played. I recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it.

    Best 3D mario game to date, very fun and fluid movement that makes me pee my pants. My only criticism is that after beating the main story, the game gets quickly stale, and hunting for moons is a chore, and makes me aggressively poo my pants.

    ALSO THE PLANDEMIC AND THE MASKS LIKELY SUCKED OUT THE GAME DEVELOPERS BRAINS!

    the best Mario game, and, if you ask me, the best 3D platformer collecthathon. it's only a 9 because of a few annoying moons, but it's more of a 9.6

    Incredible game - a homage to Mario's history with creative and diverse worlds. I never got bored in my roughly 10-hour playthrough.

Además agrega un matiz muy nostalgico de los clásicos juegos de los 80's y 90's de Mario Bros que en lo personal me fascinaron. Una banda sonora increíble que junto con los gráficos hacen que el juego sea una obra maestra de inicio a fin. Yo lo recomiendo 100% si no lo tienes has lo posible por adquirirlo.
    ☝️Si juegas Nintendo switch, switch oled o la switch lite ( el juego es 100% compatible) debes tener este juego si o si en tu colecciónde Nintendo. Saludos a todos

    Ah, the wonderful expedition! Seriously though, this game is amazing, the landscapes, the residents, the ending is all amzing! Pick up this game if you haven't! Hell, pick up a switch just for this game! There's a reason it won navgtrs's goty! The nitpick i have about this game is how expensive some of the costumes are, but its just a cosmetic. I don't need it!

    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]
