    The compact worlds of Super Mario Odyssey create a constant cycle of discovery, puzzle-solving, and platforming. All the hidden secrets force you to use everything at your disposal, revealing a wealth of fun interactions.

    If you want to know the definition of "fun", then Super Mario Odyssey is the answer.
    The best 3D Super Mario game ever made that is just pure fun, and just like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, this game is untouchable.

    Uma das experiências mais cativantes que eu tive com games. Uma aventura incrível que bebe e honra toda a história do nosso querido herói encanador. Melhor jogo do Mario que já joguei, sem dúvidas!

It`s supposed to be fun for everyone, children should be able to gather just enough moons to get through the game which it obviously should be since it is a Nintendo title, but the game can be very challenging for us adults too, if you want to 100% complete the game and get all the moons, I tell you it`s not going to be easy not matter old you are.

    O melhor jogo do Nintendo Switch, ele te da muita liberdade, tem gráficos fantásticos e personagens carismáticos. A mecânica de se transformar em vários personagens icônicos e em personagens novos, criados para o jogo te dá mais liberdade ainda e deixa o jogo muito mais divertido e menos repetitivo.

    I personally believe this game does not beat Super Mario 64 BUT it does beat Super Mario Sunshine it is a true master class in the platform genre and it is all on the go. So much content to play with fun and creative worlds to run around in. If you have/want a SWITCH this and Breath of the Wild is a perfect combo to go with.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was a pretty good game, but I feel that the different worlds were short and kind of blended together into the same thing with different objectives. I did like when Bowser interrupted the flight mid-game and we had a brawl in the clouds, and I also enjoyed the fight with the dragon, but those moments were short-lived and I felt that the worlds were reused material with different characters. Overall, it was a fun game, but wasn't developed enough. I did like the capture ability, though. I also thought you should've needed more moons to move on to another world.… Expand

    Super Mario Odyssey is an instant classic for Mario and Nintendo fans of all time. The Switch has shown time and time again that with the limitations it has, great games can come from the hybrid.

The Switch has shown time and time again that with the limitations it has, great games can come from the hybrid. Mario Odyssey is no exception. The game is a spectacular return to the 3D Mario formula that was established by 64 and expanded on by Sunshine.

    While graphics aren’t the most important thing in video games, thay do need to look good. Nintendo pulled off graphics that look both realistic and cartoony. Every single kingdom has its own themes and color palette that differentiates each kingdom. While every ‘bonus room’ looks very similar and simple, they don’t look too bland.

    The controls in Odyssey are fluid and an absolute dream to play with. Just jumping around as Mario is always entertaining, and crappy adds so many new movement options. Not even counting captures, Mario can move in so many new ways and they’re all fun.

    While the captures are fun, they do get stale after some time. It is fun to capture things and move around as them, but some are only used for a few things and the capture mechanic isn’t as fleshed out as i hoped it was. The new enemies are great as usual, but many fan favorites weren’t included.

    The story is basically the same as any other mainline Mario game, and while it gets the job done, I wish it was expanded on a little bit.

    The moons at first are very satisfying to get, but they do get tedious after a while. The ones just floating out in the open without any challenge and seem to only be there to bloat out the moon count are irritating.

    Overall, the game is great to play and control, but it does get bland and stale at times.    … Expand

    Quite possibly the best game on the Switch.
    The controls are insanely polished, the level design is expansive and unique, the majority of the Moons are fun to try to collect, and they finally remembered how to make a storyline in a 3D platformer Mario game work.
    Also you can make Mario wear a sombrero.

    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.

    I have not played every Mario game, but of all of the Mario games I have played (SM 1, 2, 3, SM World, SM 64, SM Sunshine, SM Galaxy, SM 3D Land) Super Mario Odyssey is my favorite Mario game of all-time.

    I've played this game twice. The first time through, I really enjoyed it but didn't love it as much as Mario World or 64.

    I've played this game twice. The first time through, I really enjoyed it but didn't love it as much as Mario World or 64. Now that I've taken the time to go back through it, I can definitively say it's my favorite Mario game ever. And I mean EEEEEEVER. I'm not sure why, but I just appreciate so much more about it this second time through.

    If you love Mario games, this one is a can't-miss. It's an absolute masterpiece, a celebration of and tribute to the entire Mario series, and I can't stress it enough - this game is INSANELY fun. Sure, some of the moons you collect in the game are extremely easy to get, but some are extremely challenging so there is a nice balance. I love that each world offers unique purple coins and unique rewards for collecting them. Another cool thing - costumes! It's such a simple thing, but such a FUN thing to be able to play the game in different costumes. The music is GREAT with some snappy new tunes and some throwback tunes sprinkled in. I find that the control is tight and responsive. And my favorite thing about the game (unlike most of the other Mario games I've played) - after you complete the story, more things are unlocked for you to do! And not just a few things. There is a LOT to do after you finish the story and, to any Mario 64 fans out there, I'll just say (spoiler free of course) that I think you'll geek out HARD after you finish the story. It's rare to "beat" a game and then have an even cooler reward to enjoy after you beat it, but this game offers that. At least, to me it does.

    Anyway, if you're thinking about this game, at a MINIMUM, just try it. Rent it, borrow it, just play it in some way. I very highly doubt you'll be disappointed.

    Super Mario Odyssey is one of my favorite video games EVER. To each their own, but I don't get the hate from some of the other reviewers. To me, this game is an all-time great. 10/10    … Expand

    Next switch game that I was able to finish after a long time. The game was made fun, Nintendo really delivered a masterpiece in the Mario universe, terrific. Unfortunately I didn't have a Wii or Wii U, so my last real Mario adventure was on the Gamecube.

    Story:

    Saving Peach again, but that's just part of it, but I liked it a lot and was beautifully presented. Just the typical Mario charm.

    Graphics / presentation:

    You really have to take off your hat here, the worlds are simply beautifully designed throughout and arouse such an unbelievable desire for discovery that I rarely experience in games. An unbelievable attention to detail does the rest, perfect. The music and individual sounds of the game make you kneel down and also awaken some nostalgic feelings. Many references are also available in the game, as far as you know them.

    Gameplay:

    One word Cappy !!!! This new game mechanic is perfectly implemented and really puts you in a good mood. The various possibilities that are opened up are wonderfully integrated into the world and make collecting the moons even more interesting. The level of difficulty of the game is very pleasant and sometimes you have to see the mechanics of boss fights before you can lay them down.

    Scope:

    Moons, outfits etc. in this game there are simply tons to do and after the story ends it continues, Mushroom Palace. You get a hell of a lot of worlds and can play the whole thing co-op, really strong.

    Conclusion:

    Far from finished with Mario and still completely enthusiastic about Odyssey. I still have a lot to do in this game, just collecting the remaining moons will take a long time and everything else will be unlocked too. The game made a consistently positive impression on me and I can't think of anything to criticize. Therefore 10/10 stars.    … Expand

    Moons are an absolute joy to collect. Every time you see and catch one you feel a burst of joy and happiness.

    The worlds were very beautiful and creative, each with their own little gimmicks. Though some of the worlds felt small and boring to me, it did not take away the amazing feel obtained from the other amazing worlds like New Donk City. The festival sequence in New Donk was one of the best feelings I've had playing a game ever.

    One complaint of the game I've seen from others is that it's an easy game, which is true. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion. Gameplay against the bosses still felt exciting and creative, with all the beautiful designs to keep you amazed.

    Mario Odyssey is a game that is familiar in basic gameplay but still keeps up Nintendo's desire to innovate with every single title they release.    … Expand

    Perfection. Some people say it’s too easy, but the less difficult sections are countered by pull-out-your-hair sections that keep you in check, balanced by jaw-dropping sequences and evolving game mechanics. The most fun I’ve had with a game in 30 years.

    Amazing Mario game but the bosses are too easy. Platforming is amazing but sometimes has some design flaws but those are just exceptions. There are too many moons which are just too simple and lack ideas would be better with less moons that gives you more challenge and have cool concepts.

    Pretty good game, actually my favorite 3D Mario game. Lots of creative worlds, sharp controls, the only problem is that the "Moons", which are what you collect this time, can sometimes feel a bit cheap, as there are too many of them and some are too easy to get. Some of the worlds are too small, and it could have used another world or two, but overall a solid game.

    With this game, I feel like Nintendo perfected their central idea that games need to be fun. Most every aspect of Odyssey is fun, plain and simple.
    For both casual and non-casual audiences, the game offers enough freedom that you never need to go through most 3D sections in one single determined fashion. This game will be remembered as a masterpiece years from now.

The controls are so good because you have so much variety to move, Nintendo finally perfected the movement and ways you can interact with the environment around you, they expanded on the movement from Mario 64 and it really shows in Super Mario Odyssey. There is 999 moons to collect, and each moon tests your ability with each movement option available, the movement options are his ground pound, his roll, his back-flip, his side-flip, long jump, cappy throw, triple jump and dive.

    After completing the game you get 2 unlockable areas to keep pushing you to get all the moons and keep playing. Although this game is great some moons do feel repetitive at times but most of them are unique and surprises the player with a challenge. I feel like this game is an improved version of Super Mario 64 and will be looked back on as one of the best games of this decade.    … Expand

    How Mario moves, the level design, the music and the capture mechanic is world class. It was fantastic how you can have a second player as cappy.

    The moons are the main collectible and is highly motivating to go exploring. I find about 50 moons far too easy to obtain and about 100 too tedious or difficult. Do I really need to bounce a ball 100 times for a moon?

Odyssey is a return to the Sandbox style while being fresh and fun. The game introduces Cappy as a new mechanic that the Mario Franchise has not seen before. Cappy can be thrown by the player to transform into various enemies and other various things, but he can also be used to jump on and can be used to pull off tons of tricks. Mario controls better than ever and the camera feels fluid and is never a problem like its sandbox predecessors. The various Kingdoms in the game are all unique and are all super fun. The Amazing soundtrack acts as fuel and captures the spirit of the Kingdoms. Collecting moons is one of the most fun things about the game as they also offer replayability after you beat the game. The game is a borderline masterpiece as it pulls off everything that makes Mario great and brings them together for a fun experience for everyone.… Expand

To some extent that's to be expected, but I don't think to the same degree that it happens in 3D Mario titles. The developers seem to have become aware of this problem and tried to fix it using cappy so Mario is able to morph into pretty much anything, changing the way that platforming will work in any given level or location. It's a welcome addition and helps the franchise move away from the carbon copy format of the previous entries to the franchise. In the sequel I hope they do even more of this.

    The locations are for the most part beautiful and you can tell the art team had a blast with it. To be honest the best part of the game for me was at the end walking up to Peach's castle and hearing that nostalgic music getting louder as you approached. Not going to let nostalgia affect my rating though. Must-own for anyone who has a Switch.    … Expand

    God, this game is so good. I think it has its flaws but overall it is a masterpiece in my opinion.
    Gameplay wise it innovates a lot and, even though we'd already seen an open world mario in the past this is like an upgrade of sunshine's and 64's open world, because their world feel alive and not empty , it also obligates us to explore the world. I'll talk about the moons later. Its motion controls can feel annoying and forced if you don't like them, but if you do like it it feels pretty funny to use. And cappy my goodness is so fun to use, it is a great way to get enemies out of the way. It also provides a new way of moving from place to place and if you learn how to use it properly you can do huge jumps.

    The moons are a good replacement of the stars but not the best it could be. There are worlds with such obvious moons that you could get to the end of the game without even exploring and you can also buy them. I know that this game is also for kids but they could also have also made the game a bit more difficult. But if you want to have all the moons it'll be more difficult and sometimes you will explore every single corner of the worlds.

    The purple coins is a perfect collectable for this game, they fell rewarding as you gain them, they're difficult to find (sometimes) and they can be used as money to buy clothings. There is not much to say 'bout this but that they are a perfect addition to the game.

    I love the worlds of this game, I don't understand why people hate new donk city. These worlds are vivid, it's inhabitants are so charming, most of them never feel empty and you always feel as if you were in totally different world. But there are some worlds that lack of things to do and the worst thing is that they had potential of being one of the best kingdoms in the entire game.

    The score is beautiful and matches every kingdom perfectly, the graphics are gorgeous for what we've seen in a Mario game even with its downgrades. The level design is perfect as all Mario games, and the new enemies are fantastic.

    The story is simple as all Mario games but it fells natural so, I don't have any problems with it.
    And for last and not least the boss battles; the broodals are an interesting subject and they're funny the first time you fight them, but then they feel repetitive and boring. And the other bosses are so fun and creative. The final boss is quite easy you fight bowser twice and both are pretty easy which is no good even though it feels rewarding I expected more. But when I thought I finished the game, we capture bowser and we try to escape the moon. I loved the theme and gameplay wise it was a fantastic experience and then you finished the game.

    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]
