    A Mario masterpiece, tons of options from ridiculously hard to simple, interesting environments and puzzles, fun bosses and groundbreakingly awesome movement.

    I love this game.

You can bet when a sequel comes, I will be playing it the day it comes out.… Expand

    Mario Odyssey is a cheap, soulless mobile game that can be finished in a weekend. There isn't much to explore. Mechanics are dull and the game hardly provides any challenge at all. The Kingdoms are only few, small sized and empty. They aren't interesting, funny, our colorful but instead uninspired, moody (very wannabe edgy) and just depressing.

    Nach Super Mario World und der Nostalgie, die ich mich diesem Spiel verbinde, hätte ich nie gedacht, dass ich noch mal so von einem Mario Spiel umgehauen werde. Odyssey war einfach ein grandioses Spiel mit unglaublich guter Steuerung als Jump n Run. Ich hoffe so sehr, dass ein zweiter Teil kommt! Dieses Spiel hat es definitiv verdient (und ich bin kein Fan von ewigen Sequels)

    Yeah, it's cute I guess. I have no nostalgia for Mario, so I was hoping this game would be what made me see what all the Nintendo fanboys saw, the way that BotW made me accept that Zelda could be interesting, but to me, it's just a typical platformer.

And easily has the best levels, level themes, graphics, collectables, and physics of any Mario game. This game brings me immense joy no matter how many times i play it. I just wish it was longer. If thats the higgest criticism you can muster against a game, we've entered masterpiece territory. I can say it enough how you should play this game.… Expand

    A masterpiece. It doesnt take too much time to see that the developers have put a lot of love and creativity into this fantastic game. Every level is beautifully designed, controls are fantastic and super responsive and it is a game that is so much fun to play! It is also a very large game! The walls were you play as a 2d old style Mario are also a fantastic addition. Buy this game! It isA masterpiece.

    Mario Odyssey is by far one of the most creative and best games of the 3d Mario games, maybe even the best mario game. The amount of work put in the game is huge, the graphics are realistic for a Mario game. The only downside is how fast I played it, wanting more. Overall great game, waiting for a sequel.

    Super Mario Odyssey was the first proper 3D Mario in 15 years. There have been Galaxy and 3D world/land, but those were level-based and linear. Odyssey is open world, like 64 and Sunshine. But some people don’t think it’s the true successor. It isn’t. In fact, it’s better then 64 and Sunshine and Galaxy and all 3D Marios. Why? How?

    The plot is the same; Bowser kidnapped Peach. It’s never    Super Mario Odyssey was the first proper 3D Mario in 15 years.

In fact, it’s better then 64 and Sunshine and Galaxy and all 3D Marios. Why? How?

    The plot is the same; Bowser kidnapped Peach. It’s never said why he does this, but now he wants to marry her. So, he pulls out all the stops. Mario tries to finish it quick, but Bowser destroys him and sends him flying to a place called Bonneton. He then meets a Bonneteer named Cappy who’s sister was taken by Bowser and placed on Peach’s head. Wow. I did not expect a decent story.

    The gameplay is that Mario is in a big world which he needs to explore and get Power Moons. Power Moons are used to power up his ship and fly to the next area. If you remember 64 or Sunshine, the stars and shines are more mission based, but you can find these moons anywhere, making the world seem bigger. I like this more because there are all these little nooks and crannies in every kingdom, and you get a nice reward for finding them. To find some, you need to “capture” an enemy. To do this you have to throw Cappy on their head. Then, you posses them and can play as them. This seems weird on the surface, but it’s actually a lot of fun to be a Cheep cheep of Hammer bro and see what it’s like for them.

    Super Mario Odyssey looks great while running at 60 fps. You can see every hair on Mario and all the scratches on the Chain Chomps. I don’t really have a complaint with the presentation. The locations are very creative and reflect on the presentation nicely. Take Toastarena. Sure, it’s a basic desert, but instead of being Egypt themed, it’s Mexico themed. As a person who lives in a desert very similar to it, I have to say they did it justice. There are also 2 vocalized songs which both sound very good.

    Odyssey is short. About 10 hours. It’s also a bit easy. But all the content comes from 100% the game. People who don’t like it didn’t play the post-game. In fact, 100% the game will take 70 hours. Wow. You don’t get a game like that often. After you 100% it however, the only thing you can do is play Balloon World. Balloon world is not a reason to go back.

    A lot of people demote it saying that there’s no reason to play it now, and I kind of agree. But if you haven’t played it before, definitely do. It’s the 6th bestselling Switch game for a reason. It was so good that I, and many others, have it a standing ovation when completed. 2017 was a good year thanks to this stellar game.    … 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]
