    Gameplay, gráficos y la esencia de mario pero con toques novedosos. Sin duda alguna el juego cumbre de mario y toda su larga historia en el mundo del videojuego. Para mi es un juego de 10, y sin necesidad de micropagos o dlc. Nintendo quiere que explores cualquier rincón y premiarte con trajes y accesorios nuevos. Compra obligada para el usuario de Nintendo Switch

    Egg hunting style Mario games aren't about difficulty, they are an experience. This game is what I consider to be a modernized 3D Mario game. It feels like it took elements every Mario game ever made, and combined it into this ultimate experience. This is one Mario game that keep you playing and not want to ever put it down.

    The story itself isn't long at all, but it hardly makes a impact on the game itself. It might actually be a favor so that the player can play at their own pace. Peach is kidnapped and Mario needs to save her, same old thing, but like almost every Mario game ever made, the game isn't about the story. However, I will say that this game holds the most cutest ending that I have ever seen in any video game.
    Once the story has been finished, the content increases by huge margin. The amount of Moons you can collect is numerous, and there are so many different outfits for you to try out, the fun just keep going. The content is so great, the game stays fresh from beginning to end.    … Expand

    The game that brings a big smile to everyone on planet Earth.
    I always thought the return of a Mario game like Mario 64, Sunshine or Galaxy level was impossible before I played Odyssey. As a guy that started playing when I was 4 years old with the N64 I'm in love with Nintendo and Mario 64 has always been one of my top5 and my favourite Mario. Odyssey is staring at the spot of Mario 64 of    The game that brings a big smile to everyone on planet Earth.

Odyssey is staring at the spot of Mario 64 of my list and telling me to drop it.
    I can't explain how fun and how happy I feel when I play this game. No boring worlds, no boring story scenes, ALL FUN.
    To me this is the successor to Galaxy, Sunshine and 64 combined with a 3DWorld feeling and I absolutely love it. It is insane how Nintendo has put Zelda BOTW and Mario Odyssey the same year, it just amazes me.
    I rate this game a solid 10 and of course if you have a Nintendo Switch, buy the game if you have the money, just buy it, it's worth every euro/dollar/etc of it.
    Have fun!!    … Expand

    Super Mario Odyssey es el juego que Nintendo Switch necesitaba, un gran exclusivo, y no podía ser otro mas que un juego de la serie Super Mario.

La música es muy buena, tal vez no tanto como en la saga Galaxy, pero es disfrutable al máximo, y más con la lista de música al final del juego.
    Los mundos en general son muy variados y completos, hay excepciones, pero incluso esas son muy disfrutables. La campaña es buena, tal vez algo corta y fácil, pero el post-play lo resuelve todo con los jefes más difíciles y nuevas lunas y niveles por descubrir.
    En fin, siendo un fan de la saga Mario desde el Galaxy, pienso que este juego es de los mejores que jamás se hayan hecho, en mi opinión es mejor que el Zelda BOTW, pero no mejor que la saga Galaxy.
    Este es el juego de Mario que todos estábamos esperando desde hace 7 años, un Mario innovador, completo, variado, con fan service, buenos gráficos y lo más importante: Puedes jugarlo donde sea.    … Expand

    So here is it Super Mario odyssey or better say super Mario galaxy 3(Easy laughter complete of nostalgia). Everything that you need to know about this game is that it is very qualitative 3d platformer lately which will steal from you devilishly many hours! And honestly it is enough to tell this reason to play this game.

Nintendo took all the open world Mario games like Mario Sunshine, SM64 and Super Mario Galaxy to name a few and mixed it along with new mechanics and into what is now called Super Mario Odyssey. The game, in all honesty, was mostly easy. That begins to change when you realize that you need to collect all 999 Power Moons to unlock something once completed. Aside from this, the gameplay was fun! Very, very fun! The story was fantastic, the ending BLEW MY MIND! I don't want to spoil the ending, so it is best you buy it and play it yourself. The game's rating is definitely well worth. Nintendo is leading a great future, and I, along with others, will support them till the end!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Super Mario Odyssey can be described in one word: joyful.

    Every minute I play this game, I have a huge smile on my face, enjoying every minute. From the kingdom to the last, every moment is just a joy.

    Mario controls better than ever before. Cappy is a great innovation to the series. Movement is much more varied than before, thus bringing a ton of creativity into how you can get from one place to the next.

    Spoilers from here on:

    My two favorite levels have to be the final level of the main series after defeating Bowser and, by far my favorite level in this game and probably any game ever, is the festival at the end of New Donk City. The amazing song mixed with the incredible throwback game play truly made me emotional and close to the point of tears for a video game that, with respect to the game, has no right of doing. I have cried during two games before for different reasons. The Last of Us because of the raw drama and storytelling and Super Mario Odyssey because of the sheer beauty of the game and joy I have playing it.

    That all being said, I genuinely think 2017 will go down as one of the best years Nintendo has ever had. From the success of the Switch to the grandiose Breath of the Wild to the joyful Mario Odyssey, this has been a great year for Nintendo. Even games that aren't as popular, like Splatoon 2, are still phenomenal games.

    Nintendo has truly hit a home run in 2017.    … Expand

    Super Mario Odyssey is a fresh new breath into the Super Mario series it desperately needed during the times of New Super Mario Bros. 2 and New Super Mario Bros. U.

U. Returning to the exploration-based formula from Super Mario 64, Super Mario Odyssey provides a fantastically open adventure with the most non-linear Mario game released so far. Most of the main bosses can be skipped if you find enough Power Moons before you encounter them. The game takes many new and experimental leaps for the Super Mario franchise, with many additions such as giant sandbox-like worlds, memorable NPCs and enemies, and the first song in a Mario game with full lyrics, “Jump Up, Super Star!” (not counting spin-offs and promotional material) The controls are tight and responsive, and even though some moves with the capture ability require motion controls, there are button combinations for many of the moves that seem like they require motion. (Example: with a captured Cheep-Cheep, you can shake your controller to attack or press the B and Y buttons.) The capture mechanic is fun, and I had a blast finding out what I could transform into. Overall, Super Mario Odyssey is a fantastic experience that will be remembered fondly as the Super Mario 64 of this generation of kids. If you have a switch, buy this game.… Expand

Cappy serves as a great sidekick, with his boomerang and capture abilities providing a refreshing take on the classic 3D Mario Mechanics. Visually, it is a gorgeous game. It maintains 60 fps consistently in both mobile and docked. There seems to be a variety of different environments in this game, unlike Super Mario Galaxy and Sunshine. While those games followed a common theme, Odyssey takes influence from Super Mario 64 and Super Mario World in that there is a (Spoilers) desert world, ghost world. tropical world, metro world, etc. The music is phenomenal. I recommend that everyone use a headset to truly appreciate it. I had chills running down my spine once I heard the theme from the Switch Presentation Trailer for Odyssey. No other franchise has made as big of an impact on the gaming industry as Mario. He is the Micky Mouse of gaming. This game can be enjoyed by anyone. Enthusiast gamers. Father/Mother playing with his or her kids. Teenagers. Anyone. I had lost faith in Nintendo during the Wii U generation. They have absolutely blown me away with putting out masterpieces such as Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. These 2 games make the Switchh worth it. I must also add that this year has been incredible for gaming. Besides Mario and Zelda, we had Persona 5, Cuphead, Horizon Zero Dawn, Nier, Nioh, Divinity. Instead of debating Game of the Years. We should declare 2017 as the Year of the Games. I hope everyone enjoys these games as much as I have. Collapse… Expand

I've never played a 3d Mario game but I did a whole lot of research and learned that 3d Mario's were getting more and more linear, so people were excited for this. Then came E3, I thought the game looked amazing during the trailer and the gameplay, I was super hyped. I wasn't as into it as Splatoon 2 only because Splatoon 2 was coming out later and Mario + Rabbids was leaked. During the week before it's release I was way too hyped and I'm happy to say that it lived up to that hype. It's approachable and the exploration rewards you for everything you do. For example, the fact that you don't take any fall damage just rewards players. It's fun, as you know this review contains spoilers because of this line. When I entered the Forgotten Kingdom I was ecstatic that it was only about exploration and nothing else. That only scratches the surface of what I like about this game and love about this game but to not make this review too long I'm gonna stop here. So I give Super Mario Odyssey a 10/10… 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]
