    Definitely one of the best games to ever be made and one of the best games on the switch.

    Mario should be dead by now. Same story, same gameplay, same 3HTK bosses, same goalless gameplay. Absolute piece of trash. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

    If you want to play Mario Odyssey so bad, just go watch Justice League. It has the same effect: disappointment. Actually, Justice League is better than Super Mario Zedong Odyssey.

    And don't go finding this not helpful. People only like this game because it is Mario. If Kirby did a game like this, it would immediately be panned by critics. However, just because the name "Mario" is stamped onto the product it becomes an immediate 10/10 by any critic or user.

    And especially do NOT trust Metro GameCentral. They gave Super Mario Run a higher score than every Kirby game except for Mass Attack.
    I would trust a Hayley Atwell or Anya Taylor-Joy source like PCMag, Guardian, Gamespot, Video Chums, Screen Rant, IGN, CGM, Gaming Trend, Shacknews, My Nintendo News, VOOKS, and Destructoid, but Metro GameCentral is a racist or a Natalie Portman / Samantha Kelly, like Game Rant, God is a Geek, Slant Magazine, Games.cz, Twinfinite, Gamezebo, AusGamers, Telegraph, leetl1, livelovelaugh22, Polygon, Chaser the Ultimate Gamer, T3, Goron Dad, and VentureBeat.
    Polygon did NOT give the Recommends badge to KATFL like they should have!

    Do NOT trust these critics! All of them are Natalie Portmen and Samantha Kellies!

    And start giving Mario Zedong Odyssey 0/10s! The Kirby community will TAKE! A! STAND!!!    … Expand

    I don't understand how the metascore for this game got 97%. I'm going to give it 86%. Sure, its a Mario game, but i its not THAT good. It's still a great game to play, don't get me wrong, but they're really are some problems with it. It's pretty cool for Mario to posses enemies by using Cappy. Finding and Collecting moons is the funnest thing to do in the game. The problem with this gameI don't understand how the metascore for this game got 97%. I'm going to give it 86%.

The problem with this game is that the way they designed the levels was not exciting to see. They were still good but not something to make me smile the whole time. Some costumes were fun to use in the game, but a lot I just didn't care about. It's a great Mario game, but not an extremely good one.… Expand

It's a really nice change of pace from the heavy duty games i've played on PS5 and PC lately, the art style is superb, the music is great and it takes me back to owning an N64 as a kid.

    I played this game and found it pretty good. The graphics are impressive, the gameplay is smooth, and each open world is unique and different from the others.

However, I only recommend this game to die-hard Mario fans or those under the age of 15 because it's very easy and the story is cute but unnecessary. Clearly, the game was designed for children. The main objective is to collect moons, and after finishing the story, you can unlock an extra level. But getting all the moons is a tedious and time-consuming task. Nevertheless, the moons are well-hidden, and the ways to get them are diverse and creative. In conclusion, I think I'm too old for this game.… Expand

    This is the first Mario game I’ve enjoyed since I was a kid. I loved they made Mario in 3D. Typical Mario story but I enjoyed traversing the different levels within the game. Solid Mario game!

    A fine game but I must admit that all the 10/10s sometimes leave me wondering if I’m wrong when it comes to Mario games. Very fun but not a “perfect score” kinda game for me.

    Pretty good. Good graphics, a lot of replayability, chalenging but not too hard... The gameplay, in my opinion, was oriented towards experts, many things were hidden and impossible to find without a guide, and the art style was bland.

    Very charming, very addicting, very well-made. It was cool to experience a 3D Mario made in HD, 60fps, and modern lighting. The problem is that about 97% of this game was not challenging at all.

    Out of 880 moons, maybe 15-20 put up a challenge. Moons lying everywhere: In the dirt, in the grass, under rocks, buying them with coins (why?). Not many moments that raise your blood pressure.    Very charming, very addicting, very well-made. It was cool to experience a 3D Mario made in HD, 60fps, and modern lighting.

Even the special level was a long string of easy segments. The hard-mode bosses is what should've been the normal.

    Mario's movement is the most mistake-forgiving and easy to execute to date. Controlling creatures with the cap was great, but so many missed opportunities to do cool challenges with them.

    Balloon World also punishes you for being too good. People don't bother with hard balloons because the risk-reward and ranking system favor the easy ones.

    Overall it's GREAT if you consider it more of an adventure game that won't scratch that action-platforming itch. This Mario game is more Zelda-like than Breath of the Wild, which went the survival crafting route. Devs will change a franchise to a completely different genre and get praised for "innovating".

    In the end, Odyssey is accessible for the Animal Crossing audience and recommended for beginners. Mario 64 remains KING.    … Expand

    The movement is flawless, the gameplay is amazing and this deserves a sequel.

    This game is so joyous. The music, setting, and ambiance make me so giddy. Honestly an incredible game. Once I beat it, I've spent about one hundred hours just doing trickjumps. It's also very replayable. 9/10, great game.

    Overall I found the game pretty enjoyable, but honestly I was expecting for something more for a game ranked as good ad Breath of the wild. The story is nice and the levels are fun to explore, but in the end I found it too short and also a bit repetitive.

    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]
