    Its the best game i have ever played.....Simple as that...And the cool thing is after you beat the game, you still have a ton of things to do...Why? well because there are more than 600 moons in Super Mario Odyssey! That's insane!

    An absolute treat for Switch owners alongside Zelda: Breath of the Wild that'll certainly give no one any second thoughts about picking up the new system just to experience it. Tight controls, beautiful soundtrack, inspired level design and probably one of the best (and not to mention unexpected) ending sequences I've seen in any Mario game to date. A definite 10/10*

It has an average difficulty, however, the game supplements this with not being punished too much for mistakes.

    Great Graphics, scaling game play difficulty, easy to learn hard to master, vivid soundtrack and great level design. Nintendo brought forth an incredible new addition to the mario 3d series and it is as great as everyone says. It deserves the Game of the Year award more than any other game out there.

    When I first saw this game in its announcement trailer, I was skeptical. But when Super Mario Odyssey released, those worries were all but destroyed. This game has amazing variety and really makes you feel like you're straight back in the Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine. I give this game a perfect score and I really recommend it!

    Story: 4/5 This game wasn't meant to be huge on story, so I am going to lower the score to out of 5 for story specifically. Not too confusing, based on the end alone you most likely won't be disappointed. Just don't go in expecting the most complex story ever.
    Level Design: 15/15 One of the major parts of the game. The game is linear if you want to just progress, but it seems huge despite the average sized maps if you are going to 100% or at least at your own pace.
    Music: 10/10 Songs like Cascade Kingdom, Jump up Superstar, Wooded Kingdom, (Trying to avoid spoilers) Second to last Kingdom, and the ending song are just a few of the many good songs in this game. When you enter a 2D level, the 8-bit Remixes are just as good.
    Battle System: 5/5 Lowered to 5 because it's simple but not confusing at all. With the capture ability you have many options for fighting. This is shown well in many of the unique boss fights in certain kingdoms.
    Replayability: 10/10 Amazing replayability. However, if you 100%ed the game on your first run, it could remove some of it. You may want to replay using certain challenges, to fins more moons, to speedrun the game, try out different options etc.
    Difficulty: 10/10 "The game is too easy" Yeah sure I want to see you attempt the Volleyball Challenge for 100 and the Final Level in the game. This game is easy if you want, and hard if you want. There are several easy moons but MANY more harder ones.
    NPCs: 10/10 Really creative. From skeletons with hats to forks to humans, this game has many unique NPCs. The new bosses and enemies are also really unique and all have a different way to be beaten.
    Graphics: 5/5 Graphics aren't everything, but this game has amazing graphics.
    Length: 5/5 Again, the game is as long as you want it to be. You can breeze through the game, collecting just the amount of moons needed to progress through each kingdom (120 minimum are needed to complete the game, taking about 1-5 hours), or you can 100% the game, try to beat you record on one of the many challenges in this game, or simply take your time with it (about 45-72, 2-12, 15-25 hours respectively)
    Exploration: 15/15 Out of 15 cause this is one of the main components of the game. The maps may be average-sized, but they seem HUGE. There are so many moons to be found. The game rewards you for being curious. There are MANY ways to get most of the power moons, and there are A LOT of moons.
    Impact on the series: 10/10 Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are fan favorites for being an open, sandbox-like game with a lot to do. This game brings back those genres and it does not disappoint. With it being 7 years since the last sandbox style game, Super Mario Odyssey just leaves me wanting more.

    Odyssey is pure joy. While not as emotionally deep as Galaxy, Odyssey is so absurdly fun. The worlds are deep and simplistic, while still maintaining a complex nature. The music is great, and the gameplay is better. Odyssey brings about that youth-like enthusiasm that we can't bring out in ourselves. Odyssey has a special whimsicality to it that will never be forgotten.

    This is not a traditional Mario, its a pseudo open world game where you search for hidden moon stones. Some are hidden, some are in hard to reach places, some are quests and some are held by bosses. So far no mushrooms or fire flowers instead you have a form of hit points and throw your hat to attack like flower power.

    As an adult the game is quite easy. having 3 or 6 hit points allows for many mistakes and even if you die the penalty is very small. There is no life limit and you re-spawn at your last checkpoint, which there are plenty of. In fact since its an open world game and you often have to back track to explore other paths, sometimes dying is welcome.

    Boss battles so far have been quite easy. Deaths have only come from misplaced jumps into pits or "camera" deaths where you cant see whats going on because the camera angle is fighting you.

    There is a "shake" controller mechanic that allows for special moves and auto targeting. There is no non-motion version of this control, even if you turn motion controls off. Fortunately so far the game is so easy that this mechanic can be considered optional. If you plan to use the shake mechanic it makes the game difficult to play in switch tablet mode and found my self struggling to balance the tablet on my lap while holding the controllers. Instead now I opt to play on the television

    All in all the game is fun to play though not very challenging. If you are looking for a relaxing game that you can spend hours exploring then this is great. I feel this game does not stand up to Nintendo high expectations and doesn't provide an adult challenge. Its a good game but falls short of greatness.    … Expand

    Story - As common to the classic Mario game. Its story didnt really stay away from its generic line. It is still the same Mario saves Peach from Bowser kind of story. The main difference though is the story does not only revolve now with those three with the addition of Mario's new mate Cappy and other Hat like characters. Its ok but still standard. Thus, an OK score of 7/10

The main difference though is the story does not only revolve now with those three with the addition of Mario's new mate Cappy and other Hat like characters. Its ok but still standard. Thus, an OK score of 7/10

    Gameplay - Now this is the game's main strength, Mario games has always been the first in line in platforming/puzzle games and this game isnt different, the puzzles are awesome, many, unique and keeps you interesting until the end of the game. Its an added bonus that you have like 800+ moons to collect which makes it more worthwhile. In addition, I love how they somehow delved into semi open world genre which has different and unique worlds to explore. A very good mixture of 3d and 2d gameplays elements was executed in whole. It is also good that an addition of cappy usages was added also as well as its possesion/capture mechanic which gives you a chance to use enemies in game. All in all, a masterpiece in this aspect. A score of 10/10

    Graphics - I love how the different worlds of Mario Odyssey is different and unique with each other and has different colors (though the colors looks plain and lazy.) Design though of the characters, enemies and npcs was for me is pretty below average as well. However, I love how the game is 60 fps and you could really enjoy it smoothly. Thus, a score of 8/10

    Sound - I love the music of this game. I love its in game songs, the music of each and every world and the sound effects of its gameplay. Kinda childish but doesnt really affect it much. As to the character voice though like the zelda games are all awfully done with childish moans or scream. It is still stupid how after all this years Nintendo is still Lazy to hire voice actors to add identity to their characters. Therefore, a score of 7/10

    Fun factor - A new scoring system on my review. Now despite all of what I have said above. I really enjoyed my whole experience in the game. Athough personally this game is much more easier and forgiving compared to its galaxy counterparts. It is still decent cause its fun. Regardles, personally it is one of my GOTY candidates for this year together with other great games like Nier: Automata, Persona 5, Horizon: Zero Dawn and Divinity Original Sin II. Thus, a score of 10/10.

    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]
