    Simplemente es epico, un juegazo con mucho game play, graficos maravillozos, gran banda sonora y de verdad te divierte un chingo, lo malo quisas es que hay muchas lunas de las cuales muchas solo estan por estar pero no por eso el juego es malo, el mejor juego de switch hasta elmomento

    Un indispensable absoluto para el catálogo de Switch.    … Expand

It's by no means an open world game but at the same time you can freely explore where ever you like ! I love this fact, and every inch is filled with secret and interesting things to explore! I was worried about this game being too easy, and while the main game (going from the start to the end of the story) is very very easy the secrets and everything make it a little hard! So I believe you'll have fun regardless!

    The plot is well...... pretty awful.... More than awful.... I guess Nintendo isn't just good with stories :p (only played 3 of their games though I'm a new fan!)

    so if I would rate it

    Music 7~/10:
    It's nice and cute but nothing amazing!

    lots of different levels and cool looking environments!

    Gameplay and mechanics! I would rate that a 8.5~/10 It's very fun!

    plot is obviously 3/10 :p But I wasn't buying it for a mind bending plot or anything,

    Overall the game is amazing and feels kinda magical :3 I mean I don't know why I enjoyed it so much :3 But I just did a lot! this has been the case for the many Nintendo games I've played lately :3 (well I've played 3....)    … Expand

Some of the music here is also top-notch, with the Cascade Kingdom music being a highlight.

    My only criticisms (fairly minor) with it are that Power Moons (replacing Power Stars and Shine Sprites from previous games) are almost everywhere, thus making it feel like less of an accomplishment when you receive one. Whereas games like Super Mario 64 awarded Power Stars for completing sometimes lengthy missions, here, you're given Power Moons where you'd likely find 1-Up Mushrooms in other games. Also, there is an odd lack of music in some areas.

    Ultimately though, I think these criticisms more come down to personal preference, so Super Mario Odyssey still gets a 10 from me. It's a fantastic adventure and highly recommended to any Switch owner.    … Expand

And over the last 30 years, I have seen the transformation of these Mario games become amazing! I love Mario and the entire cast (Luigi, Princess, Bowser, Yoshi, Toad, and etc.)!

    After clearing the story mode, I am now going back and getting more stars but I am feeling like its a chore and not fun. Having said that while I love Mario Odyssey, I personally think its missing several things to the game - creativity! I loved the Galaxy series much more because the each of the planets offered a different perspective and challenge. This seemed more like the same with different setup - Fire, Ice, Water, and etc. I enjoyed this Mario but I don't think it its a Masterpiece that everyone is calling it. I think the Galaxy series was way more fun and challenging! The story in the Galaxy was so much better too! This game seemed a little to basic and entry level for Mario players except the DARK Moon!

    Story - 7 - Lack thereof. Could have had more characters (Luigi, Yoshi, Princess Toad) to play a more important part in the game
    Controls - 6 - the controls is the reason why I die most of the time. The camera is not fixed but it should be able to determine how far or away much easier from certain things.
    Gameplay - 8 - seemed almost the same for each world using the magic hat. It's gets a little old. I wished they pushed more toward having different characters and their abilities to help Mario on his quest.
    Graphics 9 - great graphics and 60 frames is great both on TV and Handheld
    Music - 9 - Wished they had more of it!
    Overall - 8

    It seemed as though they were running out of ideas and so they just rushed the star idea to place them everywhere. MORE IS NOT BETTER! And wished they did more on the story and interaction of each characters. I think the professional reviewers aren't being really honest if they have played all of the Mario games this is definitely not the best. Having played all of the main Mario games I can see the differences and creativity in each. The "magic hat" while it was fun I think they over played it too long and shouldn't be the entire game.

    The costumes as someone else mentioned, while they are nice and fun to look, but weren't integral part in the game! They could have easily made the costumes important to the game mechanics which I agree could have helped break the "HAT" trick idea. I felt that the hat was a great idea but it was over used and wished they would the outfits play a part into the game!!

    I think Nintendo doing great things and love my Switch, but this is just not a Masterpiece as the Galaxy Series are! And to be honest its definitely NOT best in the Mario series and people are over exuberant about playing another Mario game and the reason they are raving about it, But after the dust settles they will realize that the Galaxy, Sunshine, and Mario N64 games were much better in design and creativity.    … Expand

    I like that I don't have to exit and re-enter to get another power moon. I don't like how cheap they are to get. In 64 and Sunshine you had semi-elaborate plots playing out for each shine, and other shines you could get as a side objective. Power moons are just rewards for doing obscure tasks around the kingdom.

    Broodals were fun the first time around, boring the second time, and annoying the third time. Why recycle the same fight THREE separate times? Defeat all four of them, rinse and repeat. Nothing changes.    … Expand

The soundtrack is forgettable for the most part, but there are a few good tracks. Mulitplayer mode is disappointing. Playing as Cappy is boring for Player 2 and makes the game less intuitive for PLayer 1. In terms of difficulty, Odyssey isn't particularly difficult. There are no lives. Whenever you "die", you lose coins. There were a few tricky sections, but for the most part Odyssey wasn't extremely challenging. But that's not a bad thing at all. It wasn't too easy, or too difficult. Just right. Overall, Odyssey is an essential game to own if you have a Switch.… Expand

    I find it strange how much I love Super Mario Odyssey.

    It’s your standard Modern Mario game; you run, you jump, you kill little mushroom people under the command of a giant fire-breathing-demon tortoise in the confines of a claustrophobic level roughly three and a half jumps in length. And yet, there is something about the atmospheric sound track, brightly colored visuals, and happy go lucky shouting of the small Italian plumber from Japan.
    The game clearly draws inspiration from Super Mario 64 with multiple hub levels that you travel through, collecting enough Power Stars – er Moons in this one for… some reason? – to move to the next level. I wasn’t a fan when Nintendo did this with Super Mario 64 and I often find myself wondering why everyone is so crazy for the old 64 Classic. Maybe it is because I took my rose-colored glasses off about the time Nintendo re-released Major’s Mask for the 3DS, but other that the evocation of childhood nostalgia, I don’t have anything positive to say about games from the N64 Era.

    And yet, even though Odyssey is following the same formula as it’s N64 counterpart, I find myself enjoying it immensely. I do wish the game lasted a little bit longer, all in all the story runs you roughly 2-3 hours with the rest of the replayability coming from the Power Moon Collect-athon that follows. While it’s fun to go around trying to find all the Moons you can, I also feel a little jaded at the fact that there wasn’t more to do. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t expecting a 30+ hour long story line typical of a JRPG, it just feels lacking. Considering the hype that was built up for Super Mario Odyssey since its initial announcement, I feel more should have been done to increase the length of the game.

    Although the Worlds of Odyssey are small they are packed with things to do. Each nook and cranny are filled with different things to do in order to collect the Power Moons. So much so that you might almost consider it oversaturated, but at the same time; the oversaturation of things to do makes up for the lack of room to move and run.

    I think the thing that has drawn me into the game the most is the music and sound design. Although the sound of Mario triple jumping can become a bit tiresome after you’re required to do it 13 times in a row; there is no doubt that it is an iconic sound and Odyssey would have suffered without it. My hat is off (ha) to Nobuyoshi Suzuki on his work. Each song for each world and each event feels unique while also drawing inspiration from previous titles to not only give you the feeling of a Mario game but the feeling of something exciting and new.

    I really don’t know what else I can say about Super Mario Odyssey other than this; The game is by no means a disappointment, but it is a little disappointing – if that made sense? I went into Super Mario Odyssey expecting a Mario game and in all honesty, that’s what I got. I just wish that with all the hype, all the buildup leading me into Odyssey there was more to it. I do still recommend it to any fan of Mario, Nintendo, or the Switch; but I’m not sure that I can recommend it to anyone else. In addition to that, if you were thinking about buying yourself a Switch, just to enjoy Super Mario Odyssey (like I did with Zelda) I’m not sure I can recommend doing that either. The game is good, but I don’t feel it’s good enough to drop a couple hundred dollars on.    … Expand

    - All of the “cap-tured” enemies control very well and add a lot of variety to gameplay and puzzle solving
    - There are no hard game overs so making small platforming mistakes that result in death will only cost players a handful of coins

    - There’s plenty to explore and collect after the story is over and there is a ton of incentive to continue the journey after the credits roll
    - Great Soundtrack; Completely Orchestrated
    - The hidden photos make great use of the Switch’s screenshot feature

    Mixed:
    - The story is lacking a lot of charm that other titles brought to the series … but that ending sequence on the moon made up for it all brought it all back!
    - You can blast through the story in about 4 or hours if you really wanted to but there’s so much to collect along the way; players should take their time
    - You can only get certain moons after the story ends, which they don’t make very clear; on the other hand, players can see the worlds grow before their eyes, which makes them even bigger than they initially appear
    - There are over 800 moons to collect but a lot of them can just be purchased from shops post game for 100 coins each

    Bad:
    - Some actions can only be triggered by motion controls and they can’t be adjusted in the options
    - Some worlds are only used for a single boss fight which was disappointing considering the potential of their themes

    Absolutely excellent. Mario Odyssey's hat "Cappy" adds new jump mechanics and the ability to play as various enemies. It was simply delightful the whole way through, and the Balloon World is not only a great addition of gameplay, but also grants much-needed coins for those striving for the 100% mark. A great Mario title, and a must-play for any Switch owner.

    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]
