    This was my first mario game, but by the end of it I felt like I'd always known mario. The nostalgia trip in New donk city is amazing! The game's difficulty is also really well balanced, there are a lot of easy moons for beginners, but if you want a challenge, some of the moond and levels are infuriatingly challenging. Incredible replayability.

    This game is the best 3D platformer period. It is unique at the same time as being familiar. Super Mario Odyssey is what Mario has led up to since Super Mario Brothers in 1985.

    Easily the best 3D jump‘n run which was ever made. And who could made this better than Nintendo the maker of the awesome Mario 64 before 2 decades. The gameplay is perfectly done on a level on which just a handful of games has ever claimed it. All in all this makes this game to the best available for the Switch today.

In my opinion, this is probably on of the best platform games in videogame history.… Expand

    I enjoy open world collectathon games and oh boy did I enjoy mario odyssey. Overall top tier 3D Mario game. Doesn’t really have that much replay value after collecting everything except if you like to speed run games.

    My boy Mario is back at it again. So much fun and nostalgic feels all up in there folks. The gameplay and music is very well done. The story is classic and iconic with some twists here and there you may not expect. I love it and would recommend to Mario fans and just people who love games! Stay safe out there.

    The best Mario game ever made. It takes the tried and tested formula and adds the small twist of being able to capture enemies which gives the game this whole new fresh feeling. In the past few years it’s the only game I have wanted to 100% complete to the maximum.

    Gameplay is the best in the 3D Mario Series. Has all the moves from 64 and sunshine and more. Cappy is an amazing partner as well as tool to access areas, capturing enemies and using them is addicting and never gets old. The world design is also the best in the Mario series with challenges and lovely sights to see and explore and do parkour.

    Personally 9/10, professionally 10/10, and I dare not present that score differently.
    What can I say. Loved exploring the Mushroom Kingdom, loved finding every purple coin in amazingly designed New Donk City, loved wandering around Shiveria Town, loved beating the bosses, loved every single opportunity to get another moon and loved bumping into Captain Toad every so often.

Loved exploring the Mushroom Kingdom, loved finding every purple coin in amazingly designed New Donk City, loved wandering around Shiveria Town, loved beating the bosses, loved every single opportunity to get another moon and loved bumping into Captain Toad every so often. I LOVED climbing up the skyscraper to a music festival, that section alone made the game for me.
    I had some trouble staying focused on this game so I didn't "binge-play" it, after every session feeling like I'm probably not gonna play it ever again but then, every once in a while I just couldn't shake the feeling that I want to play more of it just because of how fun it looks, so I always came back for a few hours and loved every second of it.
    On a more personal note: I wish they had given more incentives to chase after all those moons, since, sure, they were hidden in a lot of creative ways and just seeking them was fun, but I didn't feel encouraged enough to go after all of them because it felt like there was no real reward for that..    … Expand

    What a truly phenomenal game. It was so clear throughout the entire journey that so much love went into this game, and this was the first Mario game in a long time that really had me hooked the entire journey. I can not recommend this game enough and would highly recommend any Switch owner to buy this game ASAP!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This may be the most joyful game I’ve ever played. It is colorful, vibrant, and the music is phenomenal. Mario controls and plays exactly how you’d want, and cappy(your hat) opens up so many new possibilities. Some kingdoms don’t exactly feel like they could exist in the same world as the others, but they are all a blast to explore with the stars of the show being cascade kingdom, metro kingdom, and bowser’s kingdom. As far as gripes go, the base game feels a couple hours too short and a bit too easy, but that’s only because there is such an amazing, fun filled postgame, packed with more(and harder) content. This is some of the most fun I’ve had playing any game. Not only is it my favorite 3D platformer, it’s my favorite mario game.… Expand

    I never had the opportunity to play other 3D Mario games before, so I cant compare with other past games, but looking just to this game it was a amazing experience! Gameplay, exploration, soundtracks. Exploration was the best part, I never wanna rush any kingdom. And has such good details, really incredible game.

    You know you can expect high quality for a flagship Mario game, and this game is no different. It's a very polished experience with great visuals, soundtrack and gameplay (including coop gameplay).

    However, it's a bit too easy for my taste and personally I don't find any replayability whatsoever in this game which is a bit of a let down.

Nintendo lo ha clavado con este juego, cuyo sistema es similar al ya mencionado juego de la N64, aunque bien es cierto que el trabajo artístico es espectacular, y que añade mecánicas muy interesantes que denotan mucho trabajo y mimo. Por lo personal, he disfrutado cada mundo, cada tema, cada detalle de este juego, como si fueran únicos. El modo online es claramente mejorable, Mundoglobo es una pincelada de la cantidad de cosas que se podrían haber implementado, pero siendo sinceros: este juego vive por su modo un jugador. Apenas le dediqué una o dos horas a su modalidad en línea, pues no sentí la necesidad. Creo que invertí más horas en los geniales filtros para tus capturas de pantalla haciendo fotos de mi aventura, siendo sincero. Mario Odyssey es una joya nostálgica que aplica todo a las mil maravillas, sin duda es 100% recomendable.… Expand

    Super Mario Odyssey never fails to run out of ideas. All locations (also known as 'kingdoms') are as pleasing to look at as they are unique to each other.

Every kingdom contains countless learning curves, keeping the world fresh even for completionists, such as myself. The moons force people to get creative, whether it is by jumping off cars to get on top of a building or speeding through a time trial as fast as possible. Odyssey's boss battles truly test what you have learned in that kingdom making them incredibly satisfying to defeat. Every boss battle gradually gets more difficult at such a pace it's not overwhelmingly hard, not too easy, but just fun! Whenever you think the game can't get any better, guess what, IT DOES! With all this praise it still has some issues. Some moons are incredibly tedious, the motion controls are not very responsive, checkpoints are very far apart, and the multiplayer is very underwhelming. Although, with all these mistakes I still can not recommend this game enough.… 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]
