    This game Is my Favorite 3D Mario.Every part of the game Is enjoyable:Music,worlds and Gameplay all Amazing,Cappy Is fantastic for moving around like a Crazy Person (in a Good way).The moons might be repetitive but collecting them Is satisfying.

    Its a new evolution for mario games. It is a lot of fun for solo play, or co-op.

    This game is REALLY awesome. I don't see how people could give this absolute masterpiece a 0! Also, the soundtrack hits! I also really enjoyed the final boss! I currently have 722 power moons and I loved every bit of finding them!

    Visuals are beautiful, soundtrack is elegant, and worlds are expertly designed. Nintendo has made it their life's goal to make sure every player get their own experience in discovering the game. It makes the player feel great, and they get rewarded for secrets the developer didn't even think to be possible.

    My 2nd Journey on Switch and it's just "Mama Mia"

    All levels are well made and optimize which I love all of them, none of them were bad or least favorite to me. Mario Odyssey has crazy level design which I keep saying to myself "How did they make it like that?" Way too many new things, mechanic, feature that will impress you from start to end and it's always fresh, not copy paste kind of thing. They also create numerous way for you to be creative in every level where that creativity will surely leads you to the moon with an unexpected way. Then, later you learn that the game provide you the proper way to get the moon but who cares? Odyssey encourage you to think outside the box and just be free.

    Cannot fully explain how good this game is where you need to try it yourself and just dive in the world of Odyssey. Pure fun, creativity and excitement from start to end.

    This game felt pretty short and 'lightly' done -- which is good in a way, it doesn't overstay... but also felt pretty expensive for the time considering comparable games. I'm also not a huge fan of Switch controls, which feel like toys compared to the old consoles, and almost every difficult bit in this is down to.

    Интересная игра с классными механиками, но за свои деньги очень короткая. И сбор звёзд очень утомляет.

    Mario odyssey is a once in a lifetime game. a game you pick up, and don't put down. i would happily play this game 100 times over (though i do like trying other games too). unfortunately i lack the patience to get all 999 moons. though i wish i could

    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!

    This game was AMAZING to play, truly one of Nintendo's best switch games. I think what there is great, with amazing graphics (for a switch game), really fun world design, great bosses, fun gimmicks, and just an all-around great time. My only issue is I don't think it has as much replicability once you beat the final bosses and darker side.

    I loved playing through this game. It reminds me of the best of Mario 64 and Mario Galaxy.

    This is my first take on a 3d Mario adventure and I must say that playing this game expanded my horizons in gaming. I enjoyed the gameplay a lot and by the time I finished it, I wanna challenge myself in getting all of the collectibles. After I finish this, I will consider playing the previous games of Mario with the same gameplay.

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

    es un juego graficamente y artisticamente muy buenos para la consola en la que esta.
    la historia es simple pero no es mi queja tampoco por que en muchos juegos de mario que me gustan tambien tienen una historia simple.
    pero jugablemente me parecio un poco repetitivo y en alguinas partes aburrido

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

    Una obra mestra más de Nintendo. Mundos completos y muy cuidados. Historia similar a lo que ya estamos acostumbrados con un progreso entre mundos. Plataformeo de calidad y puzzles sencillos. Algunos jefes se hacen más fáciles que otros. Musical y graficamente increible. Muy recomendado.

    It's just a perfect Mario. It's long, fun, and never boring. Well, some moons are stupid, but it does not remove anything from this game. I never thought a Mario could surpass Galaxy, but it did.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not a particularly excellent open world. There are some clever game system choices that add fluidity, but I wasn’t blown away by anything in particular. Certain abilities such as Cappy’s capture ability ended up becoming a crutch and became repetitive. It’s still a pretty great game, just for me wasn’t blown away. Expand

    Mario odyssey is a fun game which uses creative mechanic of Cappy. It’s really enjoyable as you collect moons to get on to the next stage, but this game is too short and it’s boring, hard and frustrating to collect all 999 moons.

    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

    3D Mario games set the benchmark for the 3D platformer genre. Incredible level design and captivating gameplay make Mario Odyssey the best game of 2017.

    This game includes many good mechanics, but is not as good as it promised to be. Many moons that appear after you beat the game are very boring to get, and some easy. I think that Nintendo should have reduced the moons that appear after you complete the game.

    Also, the bosses are thrash and the Bowser battle is the worst in all Mario series (in my opinion). When I ended my play

    When I ended my play trough, I didn't feel anything. The plot is the same in barely all Mario games, and it can't make me feel anything, which is very important for any video-game in my opinion.

    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.

    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]
