Great add to my Ninteno Switch physical collection.

I had a lot of fun with this game, but of course, it's Mario. While it gave me more than expected, it also gave me less. Same story, but different setting as usual. The capture ability is cool. The levels are good, but some kind of dull. And like most Mario games, the real challenge shows up later. And it will still have plenty of surprises and stuff to do, even after beating it in just a few hours. I had a good time, and I would recommend it. I'll put it as a 9/10.

I have been playing Mario games almost all of my life. From the NES classics, all the way to now, and I can honestly say that this is one of the best ones to hit store shelves. There's a ton of content, great gameplay, a lot of throwbacks, and mechanics unique to this particular Mario title. My only complaint is that most of the moons are way too easy to get. Platforming is solid, but Mario has so many tricks in his hat now that getting from point A to point B is more about how you want to get there, rather than can you make it there with the right moves and skilled execution. Even with the lack of challenge I had a blast with this title, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

great, was also shipped and delivered very quickly

Feels and plays like Mario 64, which is a great thing, but enhanced in every way. If you own a Switch, you need this game. Only issue is that’s it’s probably too easy, but still unbelievably fun.

Mario Odessa for the Nintendo Switch is an absolute gem, offering a fantastic dual-player experience that encourages teamwork or individual play. The game's versatility allows for seamless coordination, making it a great choice for bonding and collaborative fun. Over the 6 months to a year that I've personally invested, the adventure remains engaging, promising a long-lasting gameplay experience that never gets stale. What truly sets Mario Odessa apart is its clever blend of nostalgic Mario game concepts from the older versions. It's a delightful trip down memory lane for long-time fans, while introducing these beloved elements to a new generation. Plus, the option to switch to kid mode ensures that even the little ones can enjoy the magic of Mario without frustration, making it a family-friendly delight. Moreover, just when you think you've conquered all the levels, surprise awaits as new ones appear, keeping the excitement and challenge alive. This constant infusion of fresh content ensures that the game never loses its allure, promising an adventure that's both familiar and wonderfully surprising. Mario Odessa is a must-play, capturing the essence of classic Mario with a delightful modern twist.

Got this for my son for his Switch! I grew up playing Mario and he loves it too! The game is fun to play and has all the same Mario characters you know and love with the addition of new themes, characters, and missions.

Super Mario Odyssey does not feel like a sequel to Super Mario 64, as many have suggested, and while it contains numerous references to previous Mario games, it is very much its own experience. Mario controls similarly enough to past 3D Mario games to feel familiar. The cap attacks feel such like a natural addition to Mario's move set that it seems surprising they had never been there before. It would be nice if some of the cap moves did not require motion controls, but that is hardly a deal-breaker. Having the capture mechanic replace nearly all classic Mario power-ups seems an odd choice at first, but makes for much more fun gameplay since using a special power is limited by your ability to use captured creatures rather than waiting to find the right “?” block. The main campaign of Odyssey is great, encouraging you to spend a fair bit of time to get to know each kingdom before you move on to the next, but not requiring you to complete each kingdom's story in any particular order, or collect the non-story-related Power Moons within a kingdom in any order, except that certain areas only become accessible as you progress through the story. Where the game falters somewhat is the post-story content. Where past 3D Mario games, other “collectathon” games, and other open-world games have a variety of things to collect, Odyssey pretty much only has purple coins and Power Moons, and while plenty of Power Moons are rewards for platforming challenges or other fun side quests, many require menial tasks, like throwing your hat at a particular pillar, waiting for a particular animal, or pressing the jump button enough times in a jump rope minigame—tasks that test your patience more than your skill. In this particular respect, TL;DR: Super Mario Odyssey is a new Mario experience that combines Mario's traditional 3D moveset with new mechanics, and a more open world. I might not rate it an 11/10, but I still highly recommend it.

Super Mario Odyssey is a joyful masterpiece that redefines 3D platforming. Bursting with creativity, its vibrant kingdoms brim with clever challenges, hidden secrets, and delightful surprises. Mario’s new pal, Cappy, adds innovative mechanics, making every capture a blast. The visuals pop, the soundtrack soars, and the gameplay is pure, polished fun. A must-play for Switch owners!

Love this game , so much fun I would highly recommend!!!

This is a great mario game. There is a ton to do, and lots to explore. the 8-bit areas are fun for people like me who grew up on these games. The challenges and after story quests to get hard!

No complaints here! I enjoyed every second of this game. From the many different kingdoms you visit, to the nostalgic, yet revamped feel of Mario’s overall mechanics, this game really brought back memories from my childhood with the Nintendo 64. Mario has some of of classic moves such as long jump and backflip, while adding new ones through the use of Cappy. Not only is this game extremely fun, it is challenging! You are rewarded for exploring every nook and cranny of a kingdom with hidden power moons, coins, and kingdom-based coins(tied to that kingdom). Even if you aren’t a Mario fan(who isn’t these days!), this game really stands out from the crowd!

The gaming industry has changed a lot. This game brings absolute fun, not just for adults but also young ones too. Very entertaining. Mario never fails to bring the fun right away. The amount of possibilities of moving around, the open areas, the hat idea is fabulous as well. One of the best selling franchise of all times. It is very hard to hate such an amazing game this is.

I bought it in digital version and it was quick; I had no problems at all. I received the email with the code to redeem it and entered it on my Nintendo Switch 2.

The best mario game since Super Mario 64! The controls are tight, the graphics are bright & colorful, and there's so much to do in this game. There's a lot of bang for your buck here!

Great game, alot of fun. My 9 year old son loves it.

By far the Best 3D Mario title i’ve Ever played. It’s simple to learn the controls— move, throw hat, jump and ground stomp— but as you take control over enemies, you learn new powers to unlock hidden areas, find new ways to collect moons and defeat bosses. The boss fights are very simple, relying on hitting boss 3 times (every boss is this way), but some of the fights later on get more challenging. The real challenge of the game is the exploration. Finding the 800 moons in the game is a fun challenge and make sure for the most excitingly collect-a-thon on the Switch. If you own a Switch, there are two games that everyone must buy— Zelda and this game.

This is the most time I've put into a game in years, it's a lot of fun to play, looks beautiful, and doesn't punish you too hard for failing which makes it easy to not get discouraged.

Really a blast to play and I usually don't enjoy platformers. Played this with my young daughter, who had so much fun. Great time!

Yes it’s another Mario title, and no it’s not 3D world so no true multiplayer; however, this title does not disappoint if you enjoy the franchise. I picked this up for the youngsters in the house and didn’t expect to get pulled into playing it. I started playing it the other night and find it difficult to put it down. The controls and game play are familiar, and the story and boards are well laid out. If you just power through the game, it might not be that enjoyable, but if you take your time and explore the many nuances of the game you might find yourself immersed in a world that only Nintendo and the creators of Mario can put together.
