    Everyone who says this game sucks is a PS4 fan. There is no way this game is that bad, honestly. Every minute of this game is great for anyone. It is a true masterpiece, and I love it. Go Nintendo! (Be quiet, Sony. You'll get your turn if you make LBP5.)

    è così che si fa un gioco nel 2017 XD
    sono costretto a mettere 10 per recuperare un minimo quei birbaccioni che mettono 0 perchè hanno i genitori che quando erano piccoli non gli hanno insegnato le cose che contano nella vita.
    in realtà non è perfetto, ma poco ci manca.
    chi non apprezza questo gioco deve considerarsi assolutamente uno sfigato!

    The design of the adventure experience is exceptional genius. Big leap from the Mario 64 genre to a refreshing open world exploration. Move set is easy to learn but hard to master. Its fun and the fun is all it matters.

Super Mario Odyssey es genial , es un buen viaje a la infancia con enemigos , personajes de captura , música , y niveles que no se veían desde super Mario bros de NES y el paso a los 8bits dentro del mismo juego fue divertido y llamativo .Es un juego que no te obliga a hacer todo en orden , te da tu tiempo para que explores muchas zonas , conozcas otros personajes o simplemente solo te dediques a coleccionar prendas de vestir y gorras , es un juego muy completo dentro de su mundo y la narrativa que esta tiene sobre la historia , es totalmente algo nuevo y para nada un juego totalmente fácil ya que tiene sus retos y su desafios que puedes completar con pensarla una segunda vez ya que es un juego pensado para niños y adultos y como todo adulto lo jugue en su modo normal , ya que poseé un modo ayuda que esta hecho practicamente para ayudar a los mas pequeños y que no pierdan horas y minutos sin saber que hacer, graficamente es muy atractivo y me sorprendió bastante en este aspecto ya que en la tv y en el modo tableta se ve increíble , ademas que la musica y la banda sonora y más aún en el final del juego te hace sentir que estas en una de esas películas o series de anime donde el final la música y la escena que aquí es jugable , se roban el show .
    Lo único malo es que esperaba un juego más largo ya que con 15 0 20 horas a tope jugando lo completas , al menos su historia por que el juego tiene bastantes cosas que descubrir sobre todo luego que pasas el final ya que te permite ir a otro lugar y el modo 2 jugadores es un complemento divertido de hacer aún que le faltó más protagonismo al 2do jugador.
    En resumen completamente recomendado , divertido y adictivo.    … Expand

    This is the Mario game of your dreams, and it´s going to be more or less impossible to top moving forward.
    Together with Cappy, Mario's moveset is now complex enough and simple enough to satisfy hardcore and casual players alike, and that´s not even counting all the different creatures you´ll get to "capture" and maneuver throughout the game ("capturing" being the new gimmick introduced in Odyssey, where Mario will gain control over anything he throws his cap at.)
    Odyssey is full of charming references to the past, and just as full of bizarre new surprises.
    This game is not just a strong GOTY contender; for me, it´ll have to combat Bloodborne itself for game of the decade. That´s how incredible this game is.
    Get it.

    What does videogame mean? Gameplay. Nintendo once again shows to the world how to make video games. How to make a good video game.

They don't require player skill, don't have replay value.

Cinematic single player games that look more like movies, no gameplay appeal, stuffed with quick time events, have their audiences of course, but they are already getting boring. They don't require player skill, don't have replay value.

    Just like the new Zelda, Super Mario Odyssey is an immense evolution in the franchise as far as gameplay is concerned, with fun environments; charismatic characters; It's a lot of fun to play.

    The creativity in the gameplay is out of this world. And I don't think another developer will get to the feet of Nintendo in this matter, because the company knows how to make good games and knows that the real focus should be the gameplay.

    Super Mario Odyssey is a masterpiece that only Nintendo can surpass itself in platform games.

    I hope Donkey Kong will be the next victim of this perfection :)    … Expand

    Super Mario Odyssey is likely meant to be Mario's version of Breath of the Wild, with it being a big game with lots to do. And I'm not going to beat around the bush; Super Mario Odyssey was amazing. While I'm giving it a ten out of ten, I'm not going to say it's perfect; as my only gripe with the game is that the plot is way too short and kinda easy to tackle. But while the plot is shortSuper Mario Odyssey is likely meant to be Mario's version of Breath of the Wild, with it being a big game with lots to do. And I'm not going to beat around the bush; Super Mario Odyssey was amazing. While I'm giving it a ten out of ten, I'm not going to say it's perfect; as my only gripe with the game is that the plot is way too short and kinda easy to tackle. But while the plot is short and simple, that is merely the door to the game itself, which is collecting a grand total of 600 Power Moons. I feel like the game's story was downplayed for a reason; to emphasis on the exploration aspect and Moon collecting. And while I still have many Power Moons to collect, I don't need to one hundred percent this game to say that it was fantastic all the way.

    The capture mechanic the game takes on opens up a ton of new options for Mario to progress through worlds. From smashing blocks as a Hammer Bro to swimming through magma as a Lava Bubble to collecting a tower of Goombas to meet a female Goomba, Mario has more options than ever. It's a really cool feature, even if it does feel a bit overpowered at times.

    The worlds are plentiful, rivaling that of Super Mario 64 and easily suppressing the game in terms of collectables for each world. While it feels like the game simply hands you Power Moons for the simplest of tasks, you have to get used to the patterns of where they appear. That means ground pounding almost everything, throwing you cap at anything and breaking anything. Moons can literally be anywhere and that's where the challenge aspect comes in; some Moons won't be easy to find. While it may just feel like an enormous version of Super Mario Galaxy 2's Green Star challenge, if you love exploring worlds and discovering these kinds of secrets, it'll keep you busy for a long time and if you enjoy it, there's no problems in it, is there?

    Looking past the game's short story, Super Mario Odyssey really lives up to the hype it had. While it may not truly feel like the nostalgic Super Mario 64, it still does a good job at following in it's footsteps. The worlds are fun to explore, the capture mechanic makes it even more fun to explore and the amount of Power Moons means this isn't a game you'll one hundred percent in a day. But if you like a game that big, then this is definitely going to be a fun experience. Mario hit the Switch in a big way and this will likely go down as one of his best adventures yet.    … Expand

Some of the levels are a little too similar for my liking. The amount of collectibles in the game is absurd. The soundtrack is great overall. A few tracks get annoying due to the amount of time one will spend in a level trying to collect everything. The replayabilty of the game is quite high, because of the amount of collectibles. Expect to put in around 40-50 hours trying to get everything. The main story is around the 8-12 hour range. It is a great value for the $60 dollar price tag and well worth your money. If you own a Switch and you don't own this game, you are missing out on arguably the best software the system has to offer. This is a must buy!… Expand

What I want to know is why did yall believe it was going to b "like" Mario 64? Sure it was returning to the classic semi-open world (yes semi because its not a full open world game) of 64 and Sunshine but everything else is different. They got rid of the objective based mission structure of 64 and Sunshine (64- Levels Sunshine-Episodes) for a more pure exploration based structure. Now I enjoy the game for what its trying to accomplish instead of expecting what its going to b based on past history, because if u do, of course your going to b disappointed. The fun and challenge in this game is in the exploration of finding all the Power Moons, that was kind of similar to what 64 and Sunshine did but theirs was more "linear" about it. Now I can understand this type of almost non-objective exploration, collect-a-thon gameplay isn't for everyone and feel like a waste of time but that's what the game is trying to accomplish and it does it pretty well. (also feels less like a chore imo than the classic ol' collect-a-thon platformers of old) I say take your time in each kingdom and explore, if u rush through it only meeting the minimum requirement of moons to get to the next kingdom then of course its going to b short, slow down people and enjoy the journey, not the destination.… Expand

    Super Mario Odyssey is like a mash up of all of the previous games mashed together but with completely new mechanics and worlds. The game boasts beautiful scenery and colors in the levels, along with great music and innovative gameplay. Playing through the game doesn't feel repetitive unless you try to collect all 800+ moons with travelling through each kingdom and even though the game may remind you of previous games like Super Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy the addition of the Capture feature with your trusty sidekick Cappy adds a whole new dimension to the Mario franchise. So you will never not be surprised and you will find yourself returning to kingdoms to look for easter eggs and hidden secrets for you to discover.

    I would definitely recommend anyone looking into buying a Switch to purchase one. Nintendo have had a great start to the year with BotW, Splatoon 2, ARMS and now Super Mario Odyssey and the future is bright for them.

    Super Mario Odyssey is by far a contender to Breath of the Wild and those two games are my all time favorite games that I've played this year, All in all, it's fantastic.    … Expand

The music is a bit of a mix, as you can find some classic jazzy Mario like in 3D World, or a bit of atmospheric music like in Galaxy. This game has nothing short of a wonderful OST. My only complaints would be that the worlds are so big sometimes, that it can feel empty, or get cluttered with a bunch of things in one area. Also, despite being a Mario game, there's an active lack of platforming in some kingdoms, in exchange for Cappy's capture gimmick. And Moon collecting can get a little repetitive with repeat missions. These are the things that I would say hold the game back from being at it's best, but no game goes without it's flaws. Super Mario Odyssey is a breath of fresh air in the long running series, and whether you're a fan of Mario, or need a fix for games, this is something no Switch owner would want to miss.… Expand

    This, in full honesty, is among the greatest Nintendo games I have ever played.

It, along with other great games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, make me not regret purchasing a Nintendo Switch in the slightest. Super Mario Odyssey is a charming love letter to the 3D platformer/collectathon genre that thrived in the 90s and 2000s, that anyone who grew up with will be touched by.

    In it, the ever-intrepid ex-plumber Mario teams up with Cappy, a sentient (and shapeshifting) hat creature. They travel all over the world, and just maybe beyond, to save Princess Peach and Cappy's sister Tiara from an arranged marriage with Bowser. Mario and Cappy's travels will take them to a total of 17 different expansive locales, from the bleak, foggy, moonlit landscape of Bonneton, to the bizarre juxtaposition of nature and machine in the Steam Gardens, to the bustling metropolis of New Donk City. In each area, they'll need to collect Power Moons in order to power their ship enough to move on to the next area. Not exactly the most original plotline, but that isn't really ever expected from Mario games that don't start with "Paper" anyhow. The main focus in this series was always gameplay, and don't worry on that end: Odyssey delivers.

    Much like FLUDD and the baby Luma from before, much of the gameplay revolves around Mario's latest companion. Unlike, say, FLUDD (disclaimer: I love Sunshine), Cappy feels like a natural extension of Mario's usual abilities. Cappy transforms Mario's signature hat, something that's been with him on every adventure for the past three decades, into a multipurpose tool you'll find yourself missing when you don't have it. With him on Mario's side, Mario has the ability to throw his hat in any direction he pleases, direct it or hold it in midair, and have it return back to his head. His hat can be used as a weapon against obstacles and small enemies, a convenient platform to jump off of in midair, a way to stop himself from falling for a convenient moment (much like the spin jump from Galaxy), a way to remotely collect coins that are just out of reach, and one more function that is by far the most interesting.

    Perhaps Odyssey's main "gimmick", is that Cappy gives Mario the powers of a poltergeist. If something has a head, and that head isn't protected by a hat (things that do have hats can usually have them knocked off), throwing Cappy on to it will result in Mario's spirit flying into its body, and assuming direct control of it; the captured entity adopting his signature hat, eyes, and moustache. There's a total of 52 different entities that can be "captured", including Goombas, Cheep-Cheeps, an actual human "New Donker" who pilots an RC car, traffic cones, a giant slab of meat, frogs, manhole covers, a tree, a few different statues, the letters that make up Mario's own name, and an actual realistic tyrannosaurus rex. This capture mechanic is used in a wide variety of different ways. Capturing a Cheep-Cheep for instance will make you no longer have to worry about air underwater. Capturing specific objects or enemies might also work to your advantage in puzzles, platforming segments, and even boss fights. The second boss you fight, for example, involves capturing her pet Chain Chomp and slamming it into her face to deal damage.

    Aside from Cappy, Mario's own moveset has gotten an upgrade, ensuring that the platforming is as fun as ever. All the iconic moves such as the backflip, sideways somersault, long jump, ground pound, and triple jump are still there; interspersed with new ones such as the ground pound jump, roll, and midair dive.

    To put this short and to wrap up my opinion on it, Super Mario Odyssey is an excellent installment to the 3D Mario series, capable of standing tall and proud with all its forefathers, even Super Mario 64 itself. If you're a long-time fan of the series, you're doing yourself a great disservice skipping this. If you're not, this may be an excellent entry point. I've never even been motivated enough to write a review for something before this, but I just have to here. I just have to tell everyone how great this game is, I can't help myself.    … Expand

    Mario Odyssey was a beautiful game with amazing worlds and tight controls. It is on the easier side of things, but it is a Mario title so I wasn't expecting it to be a challenge anyway. The way they used Cappy was great and made it second nature by the time you beat the game. Overall Nintendo really knocked it out of the park with their latest Mario title.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Super Mario Odyssey is by far the one of the best games created on Earth.
    Almost everything in this game is perfect; Exploration, Customization, Collecting and more.
    There only a few things that could be better like; Story, Difficulty and length of the game.
    But there so much more you can do after defeating Bowser.

    I had my doubts, but bought Super Mario Odyssey (and a Switch) on the day of release. Simply put, I love this game. Super Mario Odyssey is like someone took Disneyland and jam-packed it into a game. It's great, but I want more. I hope there's some kind of DLC or something.

    This is essentially the perfect game. The controls are perfect, give mario a massive variety of moves and give you a lot of freedom in how you play the game. Exploration is always rewarded and there are so many things to see.

    Super Mario Odyssey is refreshingly new while still being familiar. Mario controls as great as ever, and using Cappy lends him to think outside of Mario's regular jumps.

This is a must in my books.… Expand

    On a technical level, this is the best Mario game.

    There are a lot of things that Super Mario Odyssey does very well. It has the best visuals of any Mario game, it has the most unique gameplay mechanics, the best bosses, the most diverse environments, one of the better soundtracks. From a technical perspective it has almost no obvious flaws and the team at Nintendo deserves a lot of praise for what it accomplished. So why did I give it an 8 and not a 9 or 10? Basically, because there is more to a great game than technical achievements and a lack of flaws. This is probably the best year I can recall for games. The bar has been raised across the board. I gave this game an 8 because compared to the other great games this year it is shallow. Outside of its gameplay and production values it just isn't exceptional. I spent over 100+ hours on my first play through of Breath of the Wild same with Persona 5, those gave me more and left me with something. I beat the main story for Mario Odyssey in 2 days without a challenge. I am not even very good at Mario games but even I found the puzzles and platforming pretty mild compared to past entries. There are far more moons than there were stars in past Mario games but earning them is far simpler and many don't even require you to complete a challenge. Don't get me wrong, some of them are extremely fun but very few left me with a sense of accomplishment. I enjoyed the game a lot but compared to many of the other great games this year such as Persona 5, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Breath of the Wild, etc. Mario Odyssey just lacks depth. The game is great and I recommend it to most people. in terms of fun factor it is excellent but it just lacks substance compared to other games that I put in the 9+ category.

    Gameplay wise Mario Odyssey is masterful. The hat possession mechanic is amazing and definitely one of the most interesting gameplay mechanics that I have ever seen. The game does a great job of making each transformation unique and has multiple transformations that surprised me. In terms of Mario's base controls, they are very similar to past 3d entries but they are very precise and I found the controls to be even better than they were in Sunshine and Galaxy. Another great addition to the game is the fast travel system, it saves tons of time and makes moving around the levels very quick. Even the swimming controls, which have been pretty frustrating in the past I found alright in this entry. It is really nice that there is a use for coins, but the rewards are mostly cosmetic. It would have been cool if the costumes actually had a use beyond looks.

    In terms of progression and story, this is way below average. The story is almost the same as the other Mario games. The one thing that Odyssey does story wise that I liked was the way that it connects Bowser's actions to each kingdom. The ending also has one creative twist that I thought was clever. The game progresses smoothly and never drags but it doesn't really stop to make many moments memorable either. It's fast and furious from start to finish. People often say that story doesn't matter in platformers, I disagree because other games have great gameplay and still have good story lines. People complain when Zelda's story sucks and take off points but Mario always gets a pass. A great story adds something to the game so it matters. If a great game with no story is compared to a game with great gameplay and a great story the game with both deserves the higher score. There are plenty of platformer games with better stories than this one. Donkey Kong 64, Psychonauts, Prince of Persia and even Banjo Kazooie all have better stories than this.

    The worlds are pretty good but very few blew me away. There are a lot of them and usually each one had a few cool features but within an hour or so I usually found I wanted to move on to the next one.

    Visually, this is the best Mario game by far and one of the best looking games of the year. Every material looks believable, the fx are great and well used, and some of the backgrounds are breath taking. The menus are simple yet appealing. This is a very cartoony game so it doesn't have the same level of detail as some of the games on the PS4 but everything looks clean and the level of detail is actually surprising for a game of this type. Nintendo did a great job giving every environment a unique look and focusing on clean designs.

    In terms of sound design, the music is good and sometimes like in the Sand Kingdom, the music is surprisingly atmospheric. I really did like the sound design but I certainly wouldn't say it is one of the best of all time. Its good but it isn't in the same league as Ocarina of Time, Shadow of the Colossus, FFX, The Last of Us etc. Its good, very enjoyable I would say an 8 in sound design.

    This is a great game and I can see why a lot of people think it is worthy of a 9+ but for me I want more than just random fun.    … Expand

    Siempre he sido un fanático de Nintendo, y sobre todo de Mario. Por ello cuando salió este juego no tuve excusas, me hice con la consola y el juego. Así que ¿Qué tan bueno es? Pues, en mi opinión está a la altura de Mario 64 y Galaxy: es decir, una obra maestra de su género. Con esa premisa por delante procederé a explicarme un poco más.

    En este juego "odisea" no es sólo una palabra,    Siempre he sido un fanático de Nintendo, y sobre todo de Mario. Por ello cuando salió este juego no tuve excusas, me hice con la consola y el juego. Así que ¿Qué tan bueno es? Pues, en mi opinión está a la altura de Mario 64 y Galaxy: es decir, una obra maestra de su género. Con esa premisa por delante procederé a explicarme un poco más.

    En este juego "odisea" no es sólo una palabra, es el concepto del juego en sí mismo. No se trata de conocer con detalle cada uno de los lugares que visitamos, si no de entenderlos como una estación, una parada de nuestra epopeya por salvar a Peach. El escenario nos presenta como son los lugares, que hay en ellos y que tipo de enemigos (y por lo tanto nuevas habilidades) hay, sin embargo sólo pasaremos por allí para mejorar nuestra nave, mirar el horizonte y seguir la aventura. Mas adelante, y una vez terminada la historia podremos empaparnos con el maravilloso diseño de niveles de cada mundo, así como sus mayores retos y secretos.

    La jugabilidad de Mario básico es casi igual a la de su entrega en la Nintendo 64, pero en lugar de golpear y saltar la gorra Cappy sirve como proyectil y plataforma provisoria para alcanzar nuevos lugares. Sin embargo la innovacion está en las nuevas habilidad que obtendremos a corporizarnos en nuestros enemigos, lo cual aumenta las posibilidades de cada sitio de manera descomunal. Hay muchas maneras de hacer todo, tú eliges.

    La música es maravillosa, pero el juego también aplica mucho el recurso de los silencios. En la misma linea todo el apartado gráfico está muy bien cuidado, pero donde mas despunta es en el diseño gráfico, es un juego muy lindo, no tan potente, ni tan impactante, pero es bello, y es creativo.

    Siendo muy sincero no le encuentro ninguna falencia a este juego, de verdad. Es algo con lo que no me había topado desde hace mucho tiempo. Con ello no quiero decir que sea un juego "perfecto" -que eso no existe- si no que todo está bien ejecutado, es redondo. No le sobra ni le falta nada, y eso es gracias a sus muchas capas de profundidad, si vienes aquí por la historia principal es maravillosa: no será difícil y es realmente inspirada, si has jugado a muchos Marios encontrarás guiños por doquier. Si eres fan de Mario y te gustan los desafios el post-game es desafiante y extenso: con unas 45 horas de juego aun me falta mucho por sacar del mismo.

    Sumado a todo esto están los compaces finales de la historia principal: hermosos, me emocioné mucho con ellos y fue imposible no recordar mi niñez frente a una vieja Nintendo 64 pasándome por primera vez la obra maestra que fue Mario 64. Hoy, casi 20 años después, vuelvo a disfrutar de otra obra maestra del fontanero, y de la compañía que aún hoy, y con mas razón después de esta obra maestra, sigue siendo mi favorita.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've just 100% completed Odyssey and I just wanted to write somewhere about how god damn impressed I was by it; I've not felt this refreshed by a 3D platformer since I were a young'n playing Banjo Tooie.
    The game play was so enjoyable and fluid, keeping me interested at all times to go and explore every nook and cranny instead of just looking things up online as I do when I just can't be bothered to give other games the time of day.
    I can't help but feel that if Yooka Laylee was even a fraction like this, it would have been much better received; MO just ticked all the boxes YL didn't in terms of mechanics, tone and content.
    Odyssey was also one of those games that just kept giving, I was so shocked to see initially how many moons there are to get per level, but then you of course get given ample more via the moon blocks after beating Bowser's lizard ass within the main story. It was such a nice way to distribute more content as the game went on rather than fart-assing around with longed out mechanics or spending a fortune on 'the rest of the game' through DLC as so many do these days.
    Don't get me wrong, there were a few infuriating parts (the skipping rope 100 moon, the final challenge), but these felt more like something I could get better at by trying rather than wanting to throw the joycons at my TV like ninja stars.
    With this, Breath of the Wild and several other great titles, the switch is really shaping up to be a worthy contender late into the console cycle and I cannot wait to see what DLC they can crack out for this. Well done Nintendo for showing everyone else (cough, EA) how it's done.    … Expand

    There is a heap of fun and joy to be found in the game although it remains very easy up until the end game. After that you get a heap more stuff to do but sadly it's split between the banally easy, the interesting and the slightly infuriating.

    It's definitely a great game but for me it's not quite the masterpiece that it's metascore suggests.

    - The story was just enough not to distract from the wonderful gameplay. I loved that you also had a bit more story if you went the 'completionist' route and played after the credits rolled.

    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]
