    Я больше фанат Зельды и мне казалось, что Марио не сможет приковать к себе внимание. О боже как я ошибался, он просто офигенен! Вы просто обязаны в это поиграть 10 из 10!

Every time I think Nintendo's out of ideas for this character, they shock me with a title like this. Each level bursts with personality through the NPCs, the puzzles and especially the colors and the addition of Cappy just elevates the gameplay to new heights that the franchise hadn't reached yet. You can bet when a sequel comes, I will be playing it the day it comes out. Expand

    Masterpiece gameplay 10/10. It has an insane amount of puzzles, powers up and a variety of worlds, all are unique and interesting. There is no way someone will play this game and won't like at least one puzzle or one part of it.

    The bad part about this game is the same as pretty much all other Mario's games, the story is lackluster, it is like a story on a porn movie it is just there

    The bad part about this game is the same as pretty much all other Mario's games, the story is lackluster, it is like a story on a porn movie it is just there because it needs to be. C'mon, the game was released in 2017, I think it is time for a more depth story.

    At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how good are the puzzles and the challenges, if the story isn't good the game is forgettable and just a pastime and for that, Mario Odyssey works perfectly

    + de capture mechanic is natuurlijk om te gebruiken. het zijn praktisch gezien power-ups

    - je moet veel te veel grinden voor de kleren

    conclusie:
    de game is uitdagend maar eerlijk. het is uniek en origineel. ze maken maximaal gebruik van de captures. ironisch wil ik wel meer standaard Mario vijanden zien in de Odessey stijl

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Super Mario Odyssey is an amazing game. There is so much to do, and if you feel like 100% the game, there are 1000 moons to collect. The ending is phenomenal and this game will always have a place in my heart. It has great replay value and it follows everything a good game needs to be while still being expansive. The only downfall is that it can be very tiring this game, but I think that’s just my perspective.

After Bowser sends Mario to Cap Kingdom he meets what will soon be his best friend, Cappy! This little fella let's him cap throw, cap jump, cap bounce, down throw, spin throw, up throw and more! This makes the movement very smooth. Specially with Mario's classic wall jumps, dives, etc. After this, Mario will adventure th ru many kingdoms to try and stop Bowser's and Peach's Wedding. After this Mario for the third time goes to space, where he would fight Bowser for the third time. And for the final plot twist, Peach just leaves him! But after this you have WAYYYYYYYYY MORE moons to collect! (880 to be exact) While some peopole might think that this game is worse than 3D World + Bowser's Fury, i personally disagree.

    I thought I wasnt a nintendo type of dude, but goddamn I thought games cant make me smile anymore, but this thing right here was quite the turning point for me. This probably even changed my view of gaming as a whole. I grew up playing quake/wolfenstein/cs/gta so I never tried any "softer" games, but oh man I started wishing I had after playing this masterpiece of a game.

Com certeza um dos melhores exclusivos do Nintendo switch, os gráficos são bons pro switch, a jogabilidade intuitiva, mecânicas sensacionais, e uma ótima diversidade de fases, não tive problemas com FPS, o jogo é super bem otimizado, e com certeza um dos melhores jogos do Mario 3d, o cappy é sensacional, ele agrega muito no jogo, até porque ele te permite ser um dinossauro, o bowser é super estiloso, existe diversos Ester eggs no jogo, existe fases em 2d, e pra mim, o único ponto negativo desse jogo, é o modo de 2 jogadores, porque não colocaram o Luigi, apesar do cappy ser um bom personagem, ele não combina com o modo de 2 jogadores, mas enfim, recomendo o jogo, e sensacional, e não é atou que tem uma nota tão alta nos agregadores de notas, jogaço!!!

    this is the best Mario platformer yet (at least objectively, as my favorite one remains Mario Sunshine, even though Odyssey fixes many of the issues this game has)

    they've somehow managed to pretty much perfect Mario's moveset, it will feel satisfying to experience players as well as to casual ones. the controls are really fluid and responsive and pulling off several moves one after the other feels so gratifying, almost as if you were a speedrunner.

    the level design is also excellent, every world feels unique and fleshed out, and the moons are fun to collect (i've seen many people criticize the fact there are so many moons compared to other games, saying that it devalues them, but i think Nintendo made the right call here considering how much bigger each world/kingdom is)

    overall, this game is fun all the way through and only became frustrating at the very end, when playing through the "Dark Side" (of the Moon) (but don't worry, this world is completely optional, as it's unlocked by beating the main story.

    honestly, outside of the fairly easy boss fights (at least they added new foes instead of the Koopalings and/or Bowser Jr. again) and the fairly linear progression (not in the worlds themselves, but going from one to the other; you'll visit them in a predetermined order and will only get a split path twice in the game.

    in conclusion, i can't recommend Super Mario Odyssey enough to... pretty much anyone who has any interest in platformers or Mario. this game has surpassed its predecessors, including Super Mario 64, in so many ways, and those who think Mario 64 is better are just blinded by nostalgia (heck, you can even unlock Peach's Castle and a Mario 64 disguise in Odyssey if you really miss this game).

Odyssey feels like the pinnacle of the 'Sandbox Mario' that I absolutely loved as a child, and every replay I love the game a little bit more. Please let there be an Odyssey 2 lol Expand

    So much hype for this game but it doesn’t deserve it. Sure there is a lot of content but the quality is poor. Same old problems with camera controls that have always been an issue with 3D Mario games.

Well, for me the later Mario games (Odyssey, Galaxy, etc) although very cleverly done, can't escape the fact that platform games in this day and age are, to be blunt, quite tedious. It's a game genre from forty years ago, and for me is just too simplistic. I'd much rather be playing a fast sonic level, or shooter like fortnite, or rpg like the wticher. Nintendo have done brilliantly well to keep Mario as high profile as he is, but at the end of the day jumping on top of things is really quite boring. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I must preface this review by stating that I played Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 to 100% completion, and enjoyed every moment... now onto Super Mario Odyssey...

    I have finished this game up to approx. 650 moons (about 50 purchased) and have completed Dark Side and Darker Side levels... If you were thinking the challenge just wasn't there, wait until you hit these two levels - haha!

    The graphics are a joy to behold, and I have played this almost exclusively at 1080p with headphones. The audio is as good as the visuals, music is great, the two songs are catchy, and there is enough fan-service for any nostalgia nerd.

    I finished the game originally (first moon rush) in only two play sessions, which was kind of disappointing... I was hoping the original play-through would be longer... but this was only an appetiser. The levels then became harder, the moons more difficult to find (up to a point of being completely obscure towards the end), but you will love every minute you play.

    There are some truly joyous moments, like the first extra level you unlock after first completing the game, which gives me hope for a Switch remake of SM64...

    The camera is 99.9% co-operative, but that 0.1% will infuriate you when it happens.

    SM Galaxy 1 & 2 were lesser games than this... and much easier. This is a game for new players and returning players from older consoles. There are joyous surprises around every corner, and when the dragon boss appeared I almost peed myself with excitement.

    I think the online leaderboards are only for serious speedrunners, and not the average Joe.

    The wit and humour is a little more "adult" this time, but a watered-down "Nintendo-Adult" style. Some of the double-entendre is super-subtle, but still made me smile while playing.

    Once you have the movement mechanics mastered, you can pull-off some truly amazing tricks, including mega-jumps that defy logic. People can already finish this game in about 1 hour, but with new super-mega-jump-tricks, it is truly a game to behold when played by an experienced player.

    I doubt that I will ever feel the child-like joy which I experienced while completing this game again (I am 50yo, and have played all the Mario games since original NES). The amount of gasps, giggles, laughs and shouts as I played this game prove that Nintendo are back with their A-game. Like Galaxy, you can expect a sequel (or DLC) that will make this game way more challenging for the hardcore gamer.

    If the game has any negatives, it would be the "arbitrary" placement of Moons... and the camera can be a bit uncooperative at rare times. The final moon artwork stars are simply mind-numbingly difficult, and were really unnecessary. This should also have been a release title.

    If you take Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 as a benchmark, Odyssey raises the bar even further, and I think deserves a higher metacritic score than where it stands. I would give this game 99/100, but since I can only pick out of 10, I would give this a solid 10.

    It is the only truly "must have" game for the system at this time. Zelda is great and all, but only if you like that type of game. Odyssey is truly playable and enjoyable from 5yo to 95yo. TEN BABY!!!

    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]
