    Everyone who says this game sucks is a PS4 fan. There is no way this game is that bad, honestly. Every minute of this game is great for anyone. It is a true masterpiece, and I love it. Go Nintendo! (Be quiet, Sony. You'll get your turn if you make LBP5.)

    è così che si fa un gioco nel 2017 XD
    sono costretto a mettere 10 per recuperare un minimo quei birbaccioni che mettono 0 perchè hanno i genitori che quando erano piccoli non gli hanno insegnato le cose che contano nella vita.
    in realtà non è perfetto, ma poco ci manca.
    chi non apprezza questo gioco deve considerarsi assolutamente uno sfigato!

    Unos de los mejores juegos de mario de todos los tiempos, junto al nuevo hadware de nintendo, este juego esta destinado a ser uno de los mejores de la historia de nintendo. Espero que nintendo sepa aprovechar la nintendo switch y realizar más juegos fantasticos como este.

    The design of the adventure experience is exceptional genius. Big leap from the Mario 64 genre to a refreshing open world exploration. Move set is easy to learn but hard to master. Its fun and the fun is all it matters.

    So much fun. Graphics are quality, it has the spirit of Mario but reinvented with modernized, and energetic gameplay. It's fun that two players can play at the same time and annoy each other, too. haha.

Super Mario Odyssey es genial , es un buen viaje a la infancia con enemigos , personajes de captura , música , y niveles que no se veían desde super Mario bros de NES y el paso a los 8bits dentro del mismo juego fue divertido y llamativo .Es un juego que no te obliga a hacer todo en orden , te da tu tiempo para que explores muchas zonas , conozcas otros personajes o simplemente solo te dediques a coleccionar prendas de vestir y gorras , es un juego muy completo dentro de su mundo y la narrativa que esta tiene sobre la historia , es totalmente algo nuevo y para nada un juego totalmente fácil ya que tiene sus retos y su desafios que puedes completar con pensarla una segunda vez ya que es un juego pensado para niños y adultos y como todo adulto lo jugue en su modo normal , ya que poseé un modo ayuda que esta hecho practicamente para ayudar a los mas pequeños y que no pierdan horas y minutos sin saber que hacer, graficamente es muy atractivo y me sorprendió bastante en este aspecto ya que en la tv y en el modo tableta se ve increíble , ademas que la musica y la banda sonora y más aún en el final del juego te hace sentir que estas en una de esas películas o series de anime donde el final la música y la escena que aquí es jugable , se roban el show .
    Lo único malo es que esperaba un juego más largo ya que con 15 0 20 horas a tope jugando lo completas , al menos su historia por que el juego tiene bastantes cosas que descubrir sobre todo luego que pasas el final ya que te permite ir a otro lugar y el modo 2 jugadores es un complemento divertido de hacer aún que le faltó más protagonismo al 2do jugador.
    En resumen completamente recomendado , divertido y adictivo.    … Expand

    Odyssey is a massive, polished and stylish game. Everything works and flows beautifully.
    This is the Mario game of your dreams, and it´s going to be more or less impossible to top moving forward.
    Together with Cappy, Mario's moveset is now complex enough and simple enough to satisfy hardcore and casual players alike, and that´s not even counting all the different creatures you´ll get to "capture" and maneuver throughout the game ("capturing" being the new gimmick introduced in Odyssey, where Mario will gain control over anything he throws his cap at.)
    Odyssey is full of charming references to the past, and just as full of bizarre new surprises.
    This game is not just a strong GOTY contender; for me, it´ll have to combat Bloodborne itself for game of the decade. That´s how incredible this game is.
    Get it.

    What does videogame mean? Gameplay. Nintendo once again shows to the world how to make video games. How to make a good video game. Cinematic single player games that look more like movies, no gameplay appeal, stuffed with quick time events, have their audiences of course, but they are already getting boring. They don't require player skill, don't have replay value.

Cinematic single player games that look more like movies, no gameplay appeal, stuffed with quick time events, have their audiences of course, but they are already getting boring. They don't require player skill, don't have replay value.

    Just like the new Zelda, Super Mario Odyssey is an immense evolution in the franchise as far as gameplay is concerned, with fun environments; charismatic characters; It's a lot of fun to play.

    The creativity in the gameplay is out of this world. And I don't think another developer will get to the feet of Nintendo in this matter, because the company knows how to make good games and knows that the real focus should be the gameplay.

    Super Mario Odyssey is a masterpiece that only Nintendo can surpass itself in platform games.

    I hope Donkey Kong will be the next victim of this perfection :)    … Expand

    Super Mario Odyssey is likely meant to be Mario's version of Breath of the Wild, with it being a big game with lots to do. And I'm not going to beat around the bush; Super Mario Odyssey was amazing. While I'm giving it a ten out of ten, I'm not going to say it's perfect; as my only gripe with the game is that the plot is way too short and kinda easy to tackle. But while the plot is shortSuper Mario Odyssey is likely meant to be Mario's version of Breath of the Wild, with it being a big game with lots to do. And I'm not going to beat around the bush; Super Mario Odyssey was amazing. While I'm giving it a ten out of ten, I'm not going to say it's perfect; as my only gripe with the game is that the plot is way too short and kinda easy to tackle. But while the plot is short and simple, that is merely the door to the game itself, which is collecting a grand total of 600 Power Moons. I feel like the game's story was downplayed for a reason; to emphasis on the exploration aspect and Moon collecting. And while I still have many Power Moons to collect, I don't need to one hundred percent this game to say that it was fantastic all the way.

    The capture mechanic the game takes on opens up a ton of new options for Mario to progress through worlds. From smashing blocks as a Hammer Bro to swimming through magma as a Lava Bubble to collecting a tower of Goombas to meet a female Goomba, Mario has more options than ever. It's a really cool feature, even if it does feel a bit overpowered at times.

    The worlds are plentiful, rivaling that of Super Mario 64 and easily suppressing the game in terms of collectables for each world. While it feels like the game simply hands you Power Moons for the simplest of tasks, you have to get used to the patterns of where they appear. That means ground pounding almost everything, throwing you cap at anything and breaking anything. Moons can literally be anywhere and that's where the challenge aspect comes in; some Moons won't be easy to find. While it may just feel like an enormous version of Super Mario Galaxy 2's Green Star challenge, if you love exploring worlds and discovering these kinds of secrets, it'll keep you busy for a long time and if you enjoy it, there's no problems in it, is there?

    Looking past the game's short story, Super Mario Odyssey really lives up to the hype it had. While it may not truly feel like the nostalgic Super Mario 64, it still does a good job at following in it's footsteps. The worlds are fun to explore, the capture mechanic makes it even more fun to explore and the amount of Power Moons means this isn't a game you'll one hundred percent in a day. But if you like a game that big, then this is definitely going to be a fun experience. Mario hit the Switch in a big way and this will likely go down as one of his best adventures yet.    … Expand

Some of the levels are a little too similar for my liking. The amount of collectibles in the game is absurd. The soundtrack is great overall. A few tracks get annoying due to the amount of time one will spend in a level trying to collect everything. The replayabilty of the game is quite high, because of the amount of collectibles. Expect to put in around 40-50 hours trying to get everything. The main story is around the 8-12 hour range. It is a great value for the $60 dollar price tag and well worth your money. If you own a Switch and you don't own this game, you are missing out on arguably the best software the system has to offer. This is a must buy!… Expand

What I want to know is why did yall believe it was going to b "like" Mario 64? Sure it was returning to the classic semi-open world (yes semi because its not a full open world game) of 64 and Sunshine but everything else is different. They got rid of the objective based mission structure of 64 and Sunshine (64- Levels Sunshine-Episodes) for a more pure exploration based structure. Now I enjoy the game for what its trying to accomplish instead of expecting what its going to b based on past history, because if u do, of course your going to b disappointed. The fun and challenge in this game is in the exploration of finding all the Power Moons, that was kind of similar to what 64 and Sunshine did but theirs was more "linear" about it. Now I can understand this type of almost non-objective exploration, collect-a-thon gameplay isn't for everyone and feel like a waste of time but that's what the game is trying to accomplish and it does it pretty well. (also feels less like a chore imo than the classic ol' collect-a-thon platformers of old) I say take your time in each kingdom and explore, if u rush through it only meeting the minimum requirement of moons to get to the next kingdom then of course its going to b short, slow down people and enjoy the journey, not the destination.… Expand

    Super Mario Odyssey is like a mash up of all of the previous games mashed together but with completely new mechanics and worlds. The game boasts beautiful scenery and colors in the levels, along with great music and innovative gameplay. Playing through the game doesn't feel repetitive unless you try to collect all 800+ moons with travelling through each kingdom and even though the game may remind you of previous games like Super Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy the addition of the Capture feature with your trusty sidekick Cappy adds a whole new dimension to the Mario franchise. So you will never not be surprised and you will find yourself returning to kingdoms to look for easter eggs and hidden secrets for you to discover.

    I would definitely recommend anyone looking into buying a Switch to purchase one. Nintendo have had a great start to the year with BotW, Splatoon 2, ARMS and now Super Mario Odyssey and the future is bright for them.

    Super Mario Odyssey is by far a contender to Breath of the Wild and those two games are my all time favorite games that I've played this year, All in all, it's fantastic.    … Expand

The music is a bit of a mix, as you can find some classic jazzy Mario like in 3D World, or a bit of atmospheric music like in Galaxy. This game has nothing short of a wonderful OST. My only complaints would be that the worlds are so big sometimes, that it can feel empty, or get cluttered with a bunch of things in one area. Also, despite being a Mario game, there's an active lack of platforming in some kingdoms, in exchange for Cappy's capture gimmick. And Moon collecting can get a little repetitive with repeat missions. These are the things that I would say hold the game back from being at it's best, but no game goes without it's flaws. Super Mario Odyssey is a breath of fresh air in the long running series, and whether you're a fan of Mario, or need a fix for games, this is something no Switch owner would want to miss.… 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]
