    It's an odyssey, plain and simple. but the journey makes me feel like a tourist, to be honest, collecting odyssey souvenirs, having a brochure style map screen and seeing the sights, along with the goals which i won't spoil. the "power up equivalent" that we get with cappy is brilliant, giving us so much to work with over countless brilliantly though out kingdoms, from a hat town to-It's an odyssey, plain and simple. but the journey makes me feel like a tourist, to be honest, collecting odyssey souvenirs, having a brochure style map screen and seeing the sights, along with the goals which i won't spoil. the "power up equivalent" that we get with cappy is brilliant, giving us so much to work with over countless brilliantly though out kingdoms, from a hat town to- actually, i won't spoil it. one thing that i found doesn't work well, however, is multiplayer, but it might work better if i had more joy-cons. it takes elements from all six 3D games, not just the "main four" that we usually think of. the controls, especially with the roll and crouch, feels like 3D land, but other elements are reminiscent of galaxy. it's packed with references to 64, and the freeness to explore fixed areas full of collectibles which you gain access to after collecting a certain amount is CLEARLY taken from 64. sunshine doesn't get much, but there is a kingdom that feels like it's a reference to the game cube classic. I can't put much more without spoiling, but i will say this: get the game. Expand

    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!

    There's only one thing to say about odyssey it amazes me like Super Mario 64 amazed me 1996. It is redefining the genre, an absolute instant classic. The graphics are almost to good for that tiny switch, constant 60 Frames and perfect control over mario, playing with a controller was never so satisfying.

    Este juego, con mis 31 años me ha recuperar la ilusión por los videojuegos.
    Cada uno de los elementos es simplemente magnífico, resaltando sobre todo, sus animaciones, música y la ambientación.
    Un diez en toda regla.

    I understand the criticism pertaining to the difficulty level (bosses really are too easy), but how could anyone dislike this fantastic, colorful and funny game? Probably the best in the series. It brings you to a fantastic world with tons of things to do. Gathering all collectibles without reading a guide will be rather difficult, I love it.

    This game is fantastic. This game is honestly what I wanted from Mario. It has been so long since I have been this hyped for a Mario. It's absolutely ridiculous. I cannot believe this is happening.

    A big THANKS to Nintendo for that game! I have so much fun with it. It's colorfull, it's creativ, it's just a real Mario-Game who let me go back to the 90'ies. It's simple: If you loved Mario 64, you will love Mario Odyssey.

It feels like you have been thrown back in time and taking your first steps in Super Mario 64. Okay...it could be possible that there is a little bit of nostalgia that pushes this game from a 9 to a 10. Because it really has its little weak points.
    For example the controls are sometimes mildly imprecise and circuitous when capturing a bullet.
    You have to turn the camera before controlling the bullet without problems.
    But this is some little detail that is forgotten as soon as you jump around the next corner and throw Cappy to fight the next enemies. Long story short: I'm already in love with this game and looking forward to some awesome hours of gameplay.

Super Mario Odyssey contains so many different things. some would say to many, but actually is that something bad? I mean you can overload a game, but this game is not overloaded. Especially because you can discover everything as you want. No limitations and so many customization options, that you will need several hours. Not only to find all moons, even to find all violet coins. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Super Mario Odyssey es una maravilla de video juego que reinventa el genero de plataformas y el sandbox, me recuerda al Super Mario 64 por la mecánica de encontrar lunas que son el simil a las estrellas y por los movimientos de Mario que son idénticos. La diferencia está en que Super Mario Odyssey tiene un gameplay único, totalmente renovado e innovador, gracias a Cappy el nuevo personaje del universo de Mario. Cappy es originalmente de Cap Kingdom y se une a Mario para rescatar a su hermana, Tiara, ya que Bowser había secuestrado a la princesa Peach y a Tiara para cumplir su deseo de casarse con la princesa. Cappy es un "sombrero" que puede cambiar su aspecto a diversos sombreros. Cuando Mario arroja a Capy contra ciertos enemigos u objetos Cappy los posee lo que permite que Mario los controle y pueda sacar provecho de sus habilidades para pasar las "etapas", esta capacidad se conoce como capturas. Mario también puede usar a Cappy para lanzarlo para eliminar enemigos, obtener monedas, o realizar saltos que parecen imposibles.

    Los mundos son una maravilla gráficamente, son totalmente re jugables ya que no son lineales. Si bien la historia se puede terminar en 15 horas aprox., una vez terminado el juego se abre un mundo de posibilidades, se desbloquean nuevos mundos a explorar, nuevo trajes y sombreros. Además de nuevos desafíos de minijuegos. Mario podrá volver a los mundos jugados y volver a explorarlos, encontrar las lunas que faltaron y las nuevas lunas que aparecen una vez terminada la historia principal de este, lo que hace que el titulo entregue fácilmente más 200 horas de juego ya que no es sencillo encontrar todas las lunas.

    Es destacable la cantidad de trajes y sombreros que hay en el juego, y que hay trajes que te permite acceder a ciertos lugares. Mario puede vestir de doctor, de explorador, de cavernícola, etc.

    La música es otro de los puntos altos, música de altísimo nivel, donde se encuentran títulos como "Jump Up, Super Star!".

    Los minijuegos también son un punto a destacar ya que son entretenidos y puedes comparar tu record con la tabla de record online de jugadores de todo el mundo, puedes intentar llegar al ranking top ten.

    Lo que hicieron los desarrolladores de Nintendo técnicamente es increíble, se nota que lo desarrollaron con amor, lo podemos ver en las etapas que mezclan el clásico plataformas 2D dentro del mundo 3D, la amistad que se genera entre Mario y el perrito o cuando mario reúne a todos los músicos y en el festival suena la música "Jump Up, Super Star!" mezclando 2D con 3D, son detalles emocionantes que se agradecen. El final de mario es increíble, el poder capturar a Bowser para salvar a la princesa del derrumbe fue épico.

    Por todo lo dicho anteriormente y considerando que no hay palabras que puedan hacer justicia a este video juego, creo que marcará un precedente en el genero de plataformas. Merece más de un 10. Creo que este juego es quizás el mejor video juego de la saga de Mario en la historia, y junto a The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild uno de los mejores video juegos del año, ambos se merecen el premio a GOTY 2017.

    I just created a metacritic account to review this master peace.
    It’s beautiful, you may be insecure thanks to the people that says its easy, this is true but only applies for the main story, some moons could took you hours to reach, with incredible puzzles, plattaformes 2d and 3d and some experimental stuff which amazes me. And the bosses fights are dynamic and a little challenging

And the bosses fights are dynamic and a little challenging depending the boss you fight but the most impressive part of these fights is the mechanics to defeat the enemy. And the story is pretty good for a mario, it kinda breaks the prototype that nintendo created years ago, and the lore seems huge. If we talk about graphics i could say this is the best looking game on switch, it has so much details and beautiful landscapes.

    My final recomendation is “play it”.

    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]
