    Such an amazing game. So glad I had this experience. To be completely honest, at first, I was really not enjoying it when I started to play it. I felt it was way too easy and uninteresting (there are so many moons and some you basically just have to ground pound the right spot on the ground and wow you get a moon). I started the game with a bad attitude that made it unenjoyable. I realizedSuch an amazing game. So glad I had this experience.

I felt it was way too easy and uninteresting (there are so many moons and some you basically just have to ground pound the right spot on the ground and wow you get a moon). I started the game with a bad attitude that made it unenjoyable. I realized that this game was meant to be different. It is an Odyssey, meaning you are supposed to explore and just have a good time. When I changed to this mindset I had so much more fun. It was such a blast exploring all the amazingly designed open worlds and collecting as many moons as I could, not matter how easy they were to get. And don't get me wrong, there are plenty of insanely hard levels that will satisfy even the best gamers (Long Journey's end and Breakdown road). God I love this game, If you are going to play it, remember it's supposed to be more of an exploration game that has plenty of super fun and hard platforming levels. Must buy.… Expand

    probably the best 3d Mario game. the best movement in a 3d platformer ever!
    the capture mechanic is really fun, best looking Mario game and gorgeous worlds.

    Super Mário Odyssey é encantador e prazeroso, entretanto falha em trazer algo a mais que torne a experiência incomparável.

    For me it's the best game on the Switch, the mechanic with cap is amazing, its a beautiful game, the game rewards you for the grinding, everything is perfect! A master piece, i love it every second.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Das Spiel ist Super geil hat ein langes Spiel Erlebnis wenn man die 100% möchte und hat viele Neuerungen wie Z. B das man Cappy werfen kann nochmal auf Cappy springen kann Gegner Capern kann und und und auch schön finde ich das man mit der Odyssey in die Verschiedensten Welten mit den unterschiedlichsten Themen fliegen kann und diese komplett frei Erdkunde kann somit ist es quasi OPEN World jedoch ist jede Welt ein wenig begrenzt und wenn man runterfällt oder irgendwie anders stirbt werden automatisch zehn Münzen abgezogen. Auch schön finde ich die Enden mit Bowser und die vielen Glitches und Hacks. Außerdem gibt es viele verschiedee Varianten um Münzen zu Farmen wobei Luigi's Ballon Jagd die schnellste Variante ist.… Expand

    Bastante bueno para niños y adultos pero aún así no me gusto más por el hecho de que no es innovador y además ya me harto Mario bros parece que es el único personaje de videojuegos que tiene Nintendo

    I was perhaps expecting way too much with reviewers praising this game as a milestone in gaming history. It really isn't! There are some cool game mechanics here, where you can control your enemies, but apart from that - there really isn't much to this game. Incredibly poor story, very bland and easy levels that aren't even particularly well designed, forgettable boss fights - and ...I was perhaps expecting way too much with reviewers praising this game as a milestone in gaming history.

Incredibly poor story, very bland and easy levels that aren't even particularly well designed, forgettable boss fights - and ... well, I guess it's made for kids (my 5 year old loves it). It's a decent game, but nothing more. I read some reviewers say it's the best Mario to date, which just couldn't be further from the truth. Without a doubt the weakest Mario game I've ever played. A massive disappointment for me.… Expand

    Um dos melhores marios ja feitos, a altura dos classicos de snes. Jogabilidade fluida, trilha sonora impecavel e graficos lindissimos. Um titulo mais que necessario para quem tem um nintendo switch.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Super Mario odyssey is a great game. It is simple for people who don’t play a lot of games, but compared to a lot of people saying it is easy, it has a lot of extremely hard post game content. The kingdoms range from small to expansive and exploring each is a treat. The final boss section is extremely well done and bowser’s hair is extremely well done.… Expand

    An all around amazing Mario game with an amazing soundtrack , over 900 moons for you to collect (999 total) , beautiful kingdoms, amazing controls , it basically takes almost all good elements from the past games and mixes them up in a creative and entertaining way , a must buy for Mario fans

    Others are right about the game being easy, but i still liked it. I think though by the end I was just not feeling it as much and so never bothered to collect/complete everything, I was just burnt out. I think it's a solid title but wouldn't be in my "best of" collection.

    Mario controls like a dream. So its too bad that the game rarely does much interesting with it. Mostly just a bunch of filler moons that are just boring to collect with the rewards being even lamer. Like a boss rush, or a world with a bunch of rehashed moons youve already done. You know what the reward for getting every moon in the game is? You get to fight bowser again. And he's hardlyMario controls like a dream.

    Gosh! What a damn pleasure the entirety of this game is. There is so much content and nostalgia that will lure you back in even when puzzles or activities become frustrating. For the intense gamer and the causal one, this game is a must-buy. Worth the price of the Switch just for the game itself. Enjoy!

    Really excellent, lighthearted fun. That a game like this has two-player couch coop just puts it over the top. I got all the power moons and don’t regret it a bit—it has the feel, look, and flavor that a restful, simple, silly game should have.

    One of my favorite games. I just wish the story was longer than it was. I didn't try playing for the extra moons, but I probably should. Controls are smooth, progression is nice, some parts were challenging.

    I was really excited for this one, but in the end it kind of falls flat. It is an enjoyable experience, but it doesn't have the wow factor that Mario 64 had. I guess I have to be a kid again to fully appreciate 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]
