    An essential for any Switch owner (unless you’re a sonic fanboy waiting for sonic forces). Although the main story is really short, there is tons more in the postgame!

    Another amazing game for the Nintendo Switch and one of the best games of this year! in my opinion, second only to the Legend of Zelda Botw. I recommend to everyone without second thoughts. Great job Nintendo!

    No comments .... the best mario I've played seems formidable and I have not played much but I'm surprised every day ... it's wonderful, I think it's a good game, it has everything, although I think it's better with the joy-con separated. Since Mario 64 and galaxy arrive this is a bomb ...

The graphics look great and take advantage of the Switch's lower graphical power by using bright colors and a cartoony style, though this has been the same for years now. The music is beautiful, and always fits the scene it plays in. The only criticism that's not nitpicking that I can give is that as I've said, the story could use some work. I honestly don't mind though. And, my favorite thing, the content in this game is near endless with (spoiler amount of) Power Moons! It's a game that I really have trouble putting down, and I really can't give it anything other than a ten. Expand

    Super Mario Odyssey is the most fun I have had with a video game in years and is close to perfection.

Not only does Odyssey include a multitude of kingdoms that feel like self-contained mini "sandboxes" for you to enjoy but the main aspect of fun in Odyssey for me is the greater sense of movement in the game. "Cappy" not only allows for possession techniques that change up the Mario gameplay in drastic ways but it also allows you to perform tricks that makes Mario *feel* great.

    The presentation is also great. The game is colourful and is screaming at you in the most delightful way possible. I've heard some people are not fond of the jarring change in art style within the game, which I understand and is a valid criticism, but to me I feel as this only emphasises the sense of adventure. Whenever you enter a new kingdom it is fun to see how Mario will fit in to these environment that are not what we have come to expect from this universe. Oh, and as always, the soundtrack is amazing which is expected after the amazing soundtracks of the rest of this series.

    One of the most underrated things that Odyssey does is take elements of the more 2D level based 3D Mario games like Galaxy and 3D World and merges it with the more open ended level design of 64 and Sunshine. While each kingdom almost acts like a miniature hub world, the levels within the kingdoms contain the great and underrated level design found in 3D World creating a perfect blend the chronology of 3D Mario; not to mention the 2D sections which are beautifully presented in the game.

    I love this game so much.

    Pure joy. No better words to describe this game than pure joy. At first glance, I thought it would be another great Mario game and nothing more. It brings new fresh ideas and wonderful platforming. The vivid colors and constant exploration is perfect. If you have a Switch, you need this. if you don't have a Switch, buy one.

    Right lets get the good bit done. It is an absolutely stunning production. The game at times felt like a masterpiece of imagination. The people that came up with some of the ideas and the excecution of those ideas was perfect.

    Graphically it was really fantastic, a really fun game world although NPC design was rubbish.

    Music, with the exception of the end of New Donk City level, which everone knows and is a fantastic song, I literally can't remember the music to this game.

    Gameplay, I found the controls weren't my favourite and occasionally a wall next to me would fill my entire screen and block my view at times causing me to manuever, which in some levels was really annoying. Just something grated on me a bit with the controls and made it feel very sluggish.

    OK, so my review is probably up around 7/10, so why 5/10? I base all of my reviews on a fun to cost ratio and the fun just wasn't there. Here are the downsides.

    A good few of the levels were boring and not very nice in design. Felt like they were fillers to add length to the game.

    The whole game felt very fetch questy. Instead of typical platformer action it was a permanent moon quest. Being told find more moons to move on but I've been all over this level and bored of exploring it now - tough, go find more moons.

    I was so excited when I got to New Donk City but I didn't enjoy playing the level (until the end). When I got to the end of the level though it was amazing and I remember being shocked at how brilliant and fun it was.

    New Donk City felt like an amazing game end finale but it wasn't and going back to normal levels after that was totally deflating and I was starting to want the game to end. I wanted to complete it and I did and it just dragged from this point. I think I may have scored higher if they skipped straight from New Donk to the last level and made a shorter game that didn't drag.

    Again like New Donk City, the last level was amazing, I won't spoil it but it was a grand excecution of imagination again but when the game finished it just put a sort of new level and boss challenges and left it feeling like I had more to do and uncompleted, I was getting too bored to play more and the completion that was satisfying and funny, now felt incomplete again, I found myself running around the end world wishing it wasn't there.

    I don't think the levels were as much fun as Mario Galaxy and it didn't have the frantic, fast fun of Mario 1 and 3. It got tiresome and felt repetitive as the objectives were tons of mini fetch quests and not level completion.

    I feel a bit mean rating a 5 because two of the level ends, were two of my favourite moments in gaming and the ideas and production were out of this world but two perfect monents and great ideas didn't make the entire rest of the game fun. If those two brilliant parts didn't exist this probably would have been a 3/10.

    A game filled with great ideas, totally hampered by boring, repetitive gameplay. A shame really, so much lost potential.

It isn't like 64, Sunshine, or the Galaxy games, but I'll elaborate to avoid being called nostalgia-blind. This game has few exciting or challenging platforming sections, and the missions aren't very fun. It just lacks the personality that the previous games had. Moons are very easy to get, often involving simple tasks such as groundpounding a spot on the ground (there are only a few moons that are like this). Other moons require things like collecting a series of music notes, opening random treasure chests, or making female goombas fall in love with you. You can just do a bunch of those tasks until you get to Bowser. You can go into a world that has a huge problem on their hands, do some random stuff to get moons, and then say "OK bye, deal with it yourself". One thing I see a lot of content creators praising the game for is attention to detail, like how there are three different ways to enter the Odyssey or some small aesthetic things. Things like this are good to have in games, but I largely prefer greater aspects of the game. Another thing I want to mention, and this isn't going to affect the score I give the game, is that Mario's voice clip for throwing Cappy is extremely irritating. One thing I will give this game credit for is the movement. It is very fun to move around in this game and while Mario is still missing some moves such as diving, spinning, and punching, the moveset is completely okay and I'm glad the developers didn't make the game easier than it already is by adding more moves. The game's soundtrack is okay. I honestly can't find many pieces that I find particularly good, although there are some. Especially after playing Galaxy, I did expect more from Odyssey's soundtrack. Most pieces are just OK. Overall, this game didn't live up to the hype. It's pretty short and, like I mentioned earlier, lacks personality. I can't see anyone in the future talking about this game and saying things like "I could never beat this section", "this part was super annoying", or "this character was really funny". It's not that I necessarily want a game to have bad game design or rage-worthy sections, just that I want it to be memorable. Sometimes annoying things like that help it and in the end make good memories. Otherwise, just make characters with more personality, or give more variety in its objectives. Super Mario 64, Sunshine, Galaxy, and Galaxy 2 all had things like this: unique objectives, variety, annoying levels etc., and those games have produced many fond memories: the victory of finally clearing a hard section, the laughs that some characters got out of me and others, and the fun of experiencing new types pf gameplay throughout the game. I think I've said enough at this point. The Galaxy games are great, and Odyssey isn't. Expand

    This is a pretty good game but the moons are so diverse in difficulty, some of the kingdoms are really unattractive and boring and the gameplay can feel very repettitive. Still a good game but not at the same level as botw, smash, or octopath traveller

    Secondly, the story is literally the same thing we’ve seen 1.65 Trillion times before in Mario games
    Thirdly, apart from collecting every moon in the game and collecting all the outfits there isn’t much for post game playability

    All that being said a 7,5 is a great game in my books and would definitely recommend it

    This is just my opinion of course, but Odyssey just isn’t up there with the best Mario games. The controls are good, though some of the motion gimmicks are unreliable, and a couple of the Cappy possessions bland. The artwork is nice, but can often feel out of place or thematically confused. The music, when there is music, is excellent. The challenge is non-existent - there really is none.This is just my opinion of course, but Odyssey just isn’t up there with the best Mario games.

The after game does introduce more challenging things... but not exactly exciting ones.

    The game starts strong, the middle becomes rather boring and at times a drudge, and the ending is, OK I guess? It just doesn’t have the ingenuity of the Galaxy games, or the hectic multiplayer fun of 3D World. It’s not a bad game - Mario games at their worst are better than most of what else is out there - but it is a bit of a let down.

    the good
    - new enemies
    - the power to possessed the enemies.
    - best customization suits and hats, I've ever seen.
    - pretty good new bosses to fight.
    - not using older bosses (the Koopalings) is a nice change for once.
    - and seeing the return of the roots from 64 and Sunshine

    The Bad

The game is mostly easy and the boss fights follow a clear pattern, but there Re some difficulty spikes here and there. I’d still recommend to casual gamers though.

    It definitely feels like a successor to Super Mario 64, but I found Super Mario 64 to be better. Super Mario Odysseus major problem for me is that the worlds are so small and claustrophobic. I feel like I could get the hype behind this game if the worlds were huge and immersive, but usually around the time you’re getting into a world is around the time you’ve seen all there is to see. There are hidden rooms and hidden moons here and there, but for the most part the worlds are very small. I’d even say Super Mario 64 has bigger worlds than this game. And despite this game playing wonderfully and has neat details even down to the HD ruble, I cannot give it higher than an 8. I got all moons, coins, souvenirs, music, etc in about 55 hours. Main story itself only takes about 10. For scale, I’ve done over 200 hours on Breath of the Wild. 55 hours for 100% completion in my opinion is quite a short game. Between Breath of the Wild and this, is much higher recommend Breath of the Wild, but if you have that and want something else to hold you over, I’d recommend this, but $60 is a bit steep for smallish worlds.

    The main mission ends quickly, but the game invites you to visit every corner of the map and do everything possible to reach all the moons.

    Although the difficulty of the game is not demanding, opt for all the moons if it requires a little skill and ingenuity.

    I recommend playing without any guide, believe me, the game finds a way to surprise you.

    I do not think that any title can dispute with Zelda, but it can be at the same height or even exceed it.

    Awesome game taking Mario franchise to a whole new level!
    The storyline is great and the kingdoms you have to explore are a FANTASTIC show of perfect design.
    The engine behind new controls (like the possession of enemies and allies using the cap) and the camera itself is an incredible upgrade, making the game unique and bringing fun to the highest level.

    I got this game a couple of days ago, it's very fun and innovative. In my opinion, it's not as amazing as BOTW but still, the Switch had 2 of the best games of the year. I'd recommend this over BOTW, because it seems easier to get into.

    I’ve never been a big Mario fan but this game is a must own for anyone who just loves pure gaming joy. From the colorful graphics, well executed game design, to the sense of humor throughout the games many entertaining moments, this is everything you’d want in a console exclusive.

    I enjoyed the entire way trough the game and even after you finish there is still a lot to be done and the game rewards you for doing so, every little thing in the game can be unlocked by playing. one last little thing, the photo capture mode is amazing.

    I really enjoyed my time with Odyssey and will be playing more to complete it 100%.

    My review score is: Get it and play it as much as you can!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Super Mario Odyssey is an amazing game and the sequel to Super Mario 64 that has been 20 years in the making. It is astounding there are 17 unique kingdoms each fun to explore. This games story is short but has an amazing final Bowser boss . And don't forget the capture system it is one of the greatest aspects about the game and adds a lot of variety never before seen in a Mario game. The moons that you collect throughout the game are just a blast and that's good seeing as there are 836 unique objectives now i have about 469 of them and the have all been fun to collect. The game is pretty easy but some moons are challenging one of them in the later kingdoms took me like 30 minutes to complete. Finally the controls are the best in a Mario game giving the player ridiculous of control and the largest variety of moves in a Mario game. Over all Super Mario odyssey is a joy and a must have for switch owners. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Super Mario Odyssey es una maravilla de video juego que reinventa el genero de plataformas y el sandbox, me recuerda al Super Mario 64 por la mecánica de encontrar lunas que son el simil a las estrellas y por los movimientos de Mario que son idénticos. La diferencia está en que Super Mario Odyssey tiene un gameplay único, totalmente renovado e innovador, gracias a Cappy el nuevo personaje del universo de Mario. Cappy es originalmente de Cap Kingdom y se une a Mario para rescatar a su hermana, Tiara, ya que Bowser había secuestrado a la princesa Peach y a Tiara para cumplir su deseo de casarse con la princesa. Cappy es un "sombrero" que puede cambiar su aspecto a diversos sombreros. Cuando Mario arroja a Capy contra ciertos enemigos u objetos Cappy los posee lo que permite que Mario los controle y pueda sacar provecho de sus habilidades para pasar las "etapas", esta capacidad se conoce como capturas. Mario también puede usar a Cappy para lanzarlo para eliminar enemigos, obtener monedas, o realizar saltos que parecen imposibles.

    Los mundos son una maravilla gráficamente, son totalmente re jugables ya que no son lineales. Si bien la historia se puede terminar en 15 horas aprox., una vez terminado el juego se abre un mundo de posibilidades, se desbloquean nuevos mundos a explorar, nuevo trajes y sombreros. Además de nuevos desafíos de minijuegos. Mario podrá volver a los mundos jugados y volver a explorarlos, encontrar las lunas que faltaron y las nuevas lunas que aparecen una vez terminada la historia principal de este, lo que hace que el titulo entregue fácilmente más 200 horas de juego ya que no es sencillo encontrar todas las lunas.

    Es destacable la cantidad de trajes y sombreros que hay en el juego, y que hay trajes que te permite acceder a ciertos lugares. Mario puede vestir de doctor, de explorador, de cavernícola, etc.

    La música es otro de los puntos altos, música de altísimo nivel, donde se encuentran títulos como "Jump Up, Super Star!".

    Los minijuegos también son un punto a destacar ya que son entretenidos y puedes comparar tu record con la tabla de record online de jugadores de todo el mundo, puedes intentar llegar al ranking top ten.

    Lo que hicieron los desarrolladores de Nintendo técnicamente es increíble, se nota que lo desarrollaron con amor, lo podemos ver en las etapas que mezclan el clásico plataformas 2D dentro del mundo 3D, la amistad que se genera entre Mario y el perrito o cuando mario reúne a todos los músicos y en el festival suena la música "Jump Up, Super Star!" mezclando 2D con 3D, son detalles emocionantes que se agradecen. El final de mario es increíble, el poder capturar a Bowser para salvar a la princesa del derrumbe fue épico.

    Por todo lo dicho anteriormente y considerando que no hay palabras que puedan hacer justicia a este video juego, creo que marcará un precedente en el genero de plataformas. Merece más de un 10. Creo que este juego es quizás el mejor video juego de la saga de Mario en la historia, y junto a The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild uno de los mejores video juegos del año, ambos se merecen el premio a GOTY 2017.

    I had high expectations coming into this, as there were many comparisons to Mario 64, which is one of my favorite games of all time. I hadn't played any of the Galaxy games, but I also enjoyed Super Mario Sunshine.

    Honestly, it's the hat that makes this game so special. It adds a dynamic to Mario that I've never seen before and it works beautifully within the game. I'm about 100 moons

I'm about 100 moons in at this point and still having a blast. Anyone who says this is much of the same has not been playing the game. It feels reminiscent, but it also feels freshly new.

    I was just shocked when i understood that game do not uses all the buttons of controllers, but in hour i realised that they were replaced by motion controls. And a little bit more about gamepads (joy cons and pro controller) abilities, about hd vibration. Its first AAA title on NSwitch using its in that way, you dont need sound while playing you feel the game without it, because the vibration is 10 out of 10.

There is something undeniably charming about a Mario game that weaves threads of Mario of games past into new ones with such subtlety and ingenuity.

    This game. THIS GAME. WHERE TO START!?

    This game is magical. End of story. It’s explore-y aspect is even more prominent than in Breath of the Wild! And this is a Mario game! The story is basic, but WHO CARES!!!??? It’s a Mario game, and even if the story is basic it’s still somewhat different to the “Bowser kidnaped peach go find her” classic.

    The amount of uniqueness and character in this game is overwhelming, and even after you finish the main story, even MORE content is unlocked with these moon rock thingies you can find and activate which spews moons into whatever kingdom (world, essentially) you’re in. (Moons are basically like stars/shine sprites from other games)

    The game starts you off in a rather linear, but awesome area! It’s unique in a sense because it isn’t that basic green grass blue sky w1-1 sort of level we’re used to. It’s almost completely different, and it is called the Cap Kingdom. (Bonneton). once you finish the tutorial section it becomes way more explorable and non-linear. It just shows you the pure scope of this game. Don’t even get me started on the size and possibilities of each kingdom. There are 999 moons to collect in the game. Quick example right there.

    The 8-bit sections are so classic, and probably bring nostalgia to those who played the original Mario Bros for the NES (there is one section very similar to the original arcade game “Donkey Kong). Speaking about classic, there’s a whole kingdom based off of Mario 64 (1995 for the N64) and a costume that looks exactly like Mario’s character model of THAT game, with the low tri model and everything. Pretty cool.

    The boss fights are also unique, and different for a platformer. They aren’t the basic koopalings anymore. They’re the broodals, and I see them as very personalized. I won’t get into them much. (You also fight a realistic dragon at the end of the game which is spectacular).

    You're constantly finding secrets you’d never expect, and rooms filled with surprises. There were so many moments in this game where my jaw dropped, and when my jaw wasn’t hitting the ground, I was smiling broadly.

    The game becomes rather difficult with the unlocked content post game, with some extremely hard challenges, etcetera. Challenges that require you to do precise movements in order to retrieve a moon or two. Again, while I’m on the topic of movement. The amount of movements there are are simply amazing. There are the classic long jump, ground pound, triple jump, wall jump, backwards somersault and side somersault, but now there are the dive, the dive jump, the ground pound jump, the cap throw, the cap jump, the roll, the upward cap throw, the downward cap throw, the spinning cap throw, the cap throw and hold, the homing cap throw, a spin, and even more moves with the new mounts introduced (which I will get to later) but, yeah. That’s a lot of moves. And they can be used to get places you thought you’d never get to. And you get rewarded for going places you never thought you could. It just shows the pure genious design of this game. (This does require practice though)

    Now.. now the mounts. There are 2 new mounts you can control in this game. The jaxi (a very fast, sphinx like jaguar taxi you pay 30 coins to ride) and a motor scooter, or moped. (A fast, drivable scooter found in New Donk City and The Mushroom Kingdom). They are both used for puzzles, and are fun to ride around different areas.

    So... I haven’t even gotten to the main mechanic of this game... capturing. (Or possessing as I would call it) capturing is a basic action you can do by throwing your hat at certain creatures (and sometimes inanimate objects) and once you do, the creature will magically grow a moustache, obtain mario’s signature hat and put blue eye contacts in, and you now have complete control over it and it's abilities. Pretty sweet, if I do say so myself. This mechanic is used TONS throughout the game with TONS of different things to capture, including and not limited to a huge piece of meat.

    Now here comes a feature I wasn’t to keen on, but loved. Costumes. You can get them in all kingdoms with a full sized crazy cap shop, and they are so fun. (You can get them other ways, too) They are just (take the “just” lightly) ways to dress up your personalized Mario.

    In short best game ever. Buy it. I wish the smaller kingdoms like the ruined kingdom, cloud kingdom and lost kingdom could be slightly expanded upon with no cost, but you can’t get everything you want in life.

When I first started playing this game, I felt a spark in my heart and I was extremely happy to be playing this game. The final boss was amazing. Capturing Bowser was unexpected for. The ending wasn't very great, but it was pretty hilarious. Seeing Mario comfort Bowser after both of them being rejected by Peach made me giggle a bit.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I Have put over 35 hours into this game and I have to say that it is amazing.
    Unlike more recent popular gaming titles, Super Mario Odyssey has so much more to do.
    The difficulty starts out pretty easy in the beginning so you can master the controls. Closer to the end is where more complicated things start to appear and the final area is near impossible.
    If you are devoted, you can easily put in over 100 hours of fun into this game.

    Best 3D Mario game ever made. The game brought so much nostalgia. Every kingdom felt new and old and had many surprises. The final boss is one of my favorites in the series. Level design was superb. GG Nintendo

    Okay so let's begin, Nintendo are back after Zelda, and what have they brought us? A visual treat and another masterclass in game design, that's what. Mario had never looked so good.

How can you give something you enjoyed a 0? Simple stupidity, that's how. Okay, so the cap idea is inspired if not perfect. Visually the game impresses also. The switch shows what it is capable of in the right hands and other developers should take note. Yes, it's not exactly a challenge, but the Mario games have always been about fun and letting your inner child remember why you got into gaming in the first place. There is much fun to have here. If you expect a game designed for adults, look elsewhere. If you are looking for something that can put a smile on your face and also plays really well, then give this a go. You won't be disappointed. Expand

It's the perfect harmony of new and old, and it's a must-have for every Switch owner. The story is your typical Mario plot.

Bowser kidnaps the princess, this time so he can force her to marry him, and it's Mario's job to stop him. The graphics really show off what the Switch is capable of, there wasn't any noticeable slowdown in handheld or docked mode. The only problem is that this game drains your battery fast, and after about 2 hours of gameplay, I went from 100% to 30%. The music is fantastic, some of the best music Mario has ever offered. The game is easy to control and as you play, you will learn all the tricks you can do to maneuver Mario around. The worlds in this game are unique and fun to explore, I think my favorite was New Donk City. The enemies in this game are very well designed, with new and returning characters for Mario to possess with his hat, all of which are very fun to use. My only real issue with the game is that it's very easy, the lives have been taken out and instead you lose 10 coins every time you die. In fact, it's actually impossible to get a game over the game will just keep you at 0 coins if you lose them all. This isn't really a bad thing because I died a lot. But at the same time, I felt there was no real penalty for dying. Overall, it's quite a masterpiece that I think everyone will enjoy. Expand

    With its sandbox-like levels evocative of Super Mario 64 and its new novel "CAPture" mechanic, Odyssey successfully mixes the old with the new.

    I had wonderful time playing Super Mario Odyssey and while I completed the main story fairly quickly there are still many many power moons to find and secrets to uncover. The game is not particularly difficult, however the challenge comes in the form of collecting all of the power moons which act as a fuel powering the Odyssey, a ship that takes you from place to place in the world. Some of the power moons can be found just lying around in plain sight while others require a lot of effort. And these things are EVERYWHERE! It really makes you want to explore every nook and cranny of the levels as you may be rewarded for your efforts.

    Control wise there are a lot of different ways you can play Odyssey. The game nudges you in the direction of detached Joy-Con, but you don't need to use this control scheme to get the full experience. I usually play using both Joy-Con in the grip and do just fine.

    The "CAPture" mechanic mixes things up from the usual Mario fare offering some really unique opportunities for interacting with the environment and enemies. In one level you might have to scale a tall structure by taking control of a little seed creature that can extend its legs very high letting you get to otherwise unreachable places. At another time you might be taking control of a tank and laying waste to your enemies. This variety makes the game feel varied and interesting.

    The world of Super Mario Odyssey is split up into Kingdoms each with their own unique enemies, styles or climates. You will want to explore all of these as they are beautiful to behold and cleverly designed. A lot of loving detail is packed in the worlds as you will find nods to classic Mario games and fun secrets. One of my favorite features of Odyssey are the 2-D segments that are found in unexpected places.

    One interesting aspect of Odyssey is the customizability of Mario's wardrobe. Each kingdom that Mario visits offers up the opportunity to buy an outfit that goes along with the locale. And the outfits aren't just for looks, in some cases a certain outfit can help you complete quests for power moons.

    I could go on and on about Super Mario Odyssey and while I have talked a lot about the game there are so many more interesting things waiting to be discovered. in the end I highly recommend Odyssey to anyone who owns a Switch. You will not be disappointed.

And even after you’ve beaten bowser and done the main story, you’ve barely scratched the surface Of odyssey. A million more moons have become available and the Moon and Mushroom Kingdom have been unlocked. This is the epitome of what makes a game good. A good story,, tons of stuff to do and see and tons of replay value. If future Mario games can be as good as this masterpiece, then Nintendo have a bright future ahead of them. Expand

    I'm not sure why I won't give it a 10. It really was quite delightful. It wasn't that it was too easy. I think I just wanted the main campaign to be a little longer. I love all the post-game content. It just wasn't enough to keep me hooked because I didn't feel I was truly "progressing" anymore. Still, a very solid entry in the series.

It does something really great while completely ignoring others. And it is the franchise that better shows you what Nintendo is. They are never really designing a videogame for a specific audience. They are doing it for everyone. While that shouldn't be a bad thing, it just is. They make a very nice game for everyone, that at the same time feels like it is not enough for someone.
    This was the first time I felt I'm not into Mario that much anymore. So I guess this game is not that great. It still is great, but I wouldn't mind if I had not played it. Still give it a 9, because it it is very good for what it is and if you like platformers you're still in for the best the genre has to offer. At least in terms of mechanics and charm. I just think Mario needs to be more and this game should have had more to it. I wanted to smile or laugh at what was going on, but I just couldn't. I've played worse games that made me laugh more. I am a bit tired of pretending I want to enjoy more of a game just because it's a Nintendo game. Odyssey is full of filler content. And people praise it for having a whole game after you finish it. That is not what happens... at all. You just get more moons and 2 more kingdoms that are just bad excuses to repeated content, mostly. If Nintendo was not a money-sucking company maybe I wouldn't mind so much. But as it is, while you can play a great game such as this one, you shouldn't be praising it as much. Nintendo doesn't invest in powerful hardware because people don't want it as they say. They do it so they can make more money with the consoles they sell. This game made me feel that more than ever. Props to Sony. They make money, but not trying to rip us off as much, while still delivering great imaginative new games and IPs. I kinda regret buying a Switch instead of a PS4, even though Zelda was worth it, kind of. Still. I don't like Nintendo anymore, just some of their games, and this game is the perfect sum of what they are, even if everyone is blinded because they did something different like Breath of the Wild...

I hated being kicked from a level in every other Mario game after finding a star. The worlds feel very different and unique, the small, more platforming oriented mini areas are fun with hidden moons included, and this game is just all around a joy to play.

    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]
