    that game feels like a total knock off of Sonic adventures 1 and 2 cause it is and some of the gameplay feels like it ripped off Sonic adventure as well. I’m surprised that those so called critics have not noticed about it. And a living hat, I’ve never seen anything so dumb in a video game. that game deserves a lower ranking than what it’s received.

    There is really only one question you have to answer to determine whether or not Odyssey is worth playing: have you ever enjoyed a 3D platformer? That really is the only barrier to entry.

Halfway through the game, though far from halfway through the content, this game is simply a pleasure. Mario controls better than ever, and has more moves and transformations than ever before. The worlds are varied, and very creative. The environments are not simply themes, as they often have been in the 2D Mario games of late, but full fledged worlds with dozens of hidden secrets across their many nooks and crannies. Power moons and purple currency reward exploration with fuel for your ship to reach new worlds, and customization of both Mario and his ship.

    This game feels very much like what it is, the culmination of decades of design experience refined to be as fun and fresh as possible. Play this game, seriously, play this game!    … Expand

If you own a Nintendo Switch, this game is a must-have. If you don't, this game can make you consider getting this console.

    The only negative thing is that without using the 2 Joycons (when using the Pro controller, for instance), you don't have all the options to control your cap, but it's still perfectly fine. I don't know, that's just for saying something, because I don't find flaws in this game! It has renewed platform games, it has opened a world for them, like Zelda BOTW did with its genre. That's why I give this a 10 (I don't usually rate games with tens!), this game deserves it!    … Expand

    The best game of this year, easily! The story is the most unique and fun Mario story so far. The graphics were amazing, in both portable mode and on the TV. The gameplay is new and great. The use of Cappy is helpful and a big part of what makes this game Mario's most exciting game yet. It was easily worth buying.

    Graphically it is equal to super mario 3d world except in some phases that the game is beautiful.
    There are several frame rate drops and it seems that the game does not run at 60fps.

    The game camera is extremely bad. At times it gets in the way and you end up dying depending on what you are doing.

    Anyway ... the game is nice but not for a 10 or 9.7 note ... It was shown a great innovation in Mario with the use of the hat, but in general the mechanics of the game is the same as always and the use of hat is repetitive ... this way, maybe because of the little innovation I noticed, at most it deserves a 7 note ... it's a nice game, modest ... nothing more ... more a fail of the nintendo ...

    o jogo é bom mas não merece a nota alta que está recebendo. O jogo lembra muito o super mario 3d world e um pouco do super mario 64. As fases são relativamente grandes e um pouco sem sentido que faz o jogador se cansar um pouco e não procurar todos os itens da fase.

    Graficamente está igual ao super mario 3d world exceto em algumas fases que o jogo está bonito.

    Há varias quedas de frame rate e parece que o jogo não corre a 60fps.

    A câmera do jogo é extremamente ruim. Em diversas vezes atrapalha e voce acaba morrendo dependendo do que está fazendo.

    Enfim... o jogo é bacana mas não para uma nota 10 ou 9,7... Foi mostrado uma grande inovação no mario com o uso do chapeu, mas no geral a mecanica do jogo é a mesma de sempre e o uso do chapeu é repetitivo... desta forma, talvez pela pouca inovação que percebi, no máximo ele merece uma nota 7... é um jogo bacana, modesto... nada além disso... mais um fail da nintendo...    … Expand

    However the mario gameplay style in this game is quite unique and genius at the same time by using your cap you can use the action "capture" to for example be in control of a goomba or even a cheep cheep, I mean wow... I've always wanted to be one of those, also who would've imagined that you could even be in control of the humans it's very interesting and very exciting on what this capture action can do and gives us nintendo switch players a brand new way to play and explore new things.

    Mario is trying to save Princess Peach from Bowser as Bowser is trying to marry her the plot is actually a little different although it's still the same "save peach scenario" which still works as you have to fight through multiple boss battles although I feel as if it's quite easy to beat them but overall I find the game so easy to just explore and have fun it's the most exciting game in years. This is a true 3D mario game that's for sure, I recommend picking it up as you'll have hours of fun with this and explore and find all those power moons, if you don't have a nintendo switch right now this is the perfect excuse to get one.    … Expand

    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.

    SMO is a game marred by Nintendo's backward notion that it is still 1997. The controls are excellent, but the world they give you to explore is derivative, and shiftless in its design ethos.

It suffers the same fate as Mario Sunshine in that it's a grab bag of gaming cliches that have nothing to do with what you'd expect from an actual Super Mario game. It makes a lot of the same mistakes Sonic Adventure did, and mirrors the obvious lack of direction Sega had when making that game. They didn't know what to do with Sonic in a 3D world so they threw everything at him: Urban environments, spaceships, form-shifting monsters, robots, generic video game cliche #374. SMO feels very much like this, and to add insult to injury, it fails to even take into consideration the last 15 years of game design developments since Mario Sunshine. It is a game that would have felt right at home on the Gamecube with its small levels, world hub design, and distinct lack of intrinsic Mario game elements.

    Is it a bad game? Certainly not. It's just not thoughtful enough to genuinely be worthy of Nintendo's flagship franchise. They've never been quite this careless with a Mario game, and it shows. Wait until this one is in the $30 bin.    … 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]
