Sandbox Mario in the spirit of the N64 days, this gem is immersive, clever, and massive. I played mostly in portable mode, which allows the game to be so much more casual, although motion controls are much more difficult than when docked (I wish Nintendo would move past motion control nonsense completely). Highly replayable.

This game is not only the best game this year, but also the best Mario game of all time. The kingdoms are perfectly sized playgrounds for the great movement system and new "capture" feature introduced. There is a ton of content packed into each world and there are extra incentives to keep playing even after beating the game.

This edition of Mario Bros. blends old style and new style of gaming. Although some adults may find this game to be too easy, there is plenty of exploration and entertainment for the newer generations.

It's an awesome game, not too complicated for younger people and not too easy for older people. Great game mechanics and beautiful graphics. The gameplay is super fun and using motion controls makes it even better. I'd definitely recommend this game to anyone who loves Mario or even if they don't I still would.

This is an amazing game. As a kid I had played Mario 64 on the Nintendo 64 and it was one of my favorite childhood memories. Playing this game brought back a wave of nostalgia and fond memories of my past. I greatly recommend this game to anyone who grew up in the 90’s that spent many nights playing the Nintendo 64.

I an new to the switch, however, not to the Mario series. I have to say that this game is a blast to play. This game takes me back to my childhood when games were not extremely challenging, and they were extremely fun to pick up and play. The game looks beautiful and is easy to pick up for a few minutes at a time and play.

A love letter to the Super Mario Games, game is a must play for both Switch 1 and 2 with the visual upgrades

Fun Game !!!! One of thr first games i have bought for the Switch and it is fun and a enjoyable time . also i did not expect to have it store delivered to my house a hour after i ordered it online . and you can't beat 39.99 for this game .

Pros Tons of powerups Boss fights are great. They're tough enough for just about anyone to enjoy. Lots of stuff left to do once you beat the story. Great graphics on the big screen and in handheld mode. File size isn't as big as you'd think (5.6 gigs), so you'll have tons of space left on your switch if you download it.

In my opinion, this is the best Mario game of all time. My 11 year old son says it just is the best game he has ever played. I’ve had them all and there has been many great ones over the many years since Mario first appeared on the NES. The release of this game makes owning a Switch even more worthwhile than it already was.

Nintendo has really outdone themselves here, creating a platforming experience that feels like a seamless combination of the open environments of Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine and the tight, focused level design of Mario Galaxy. Movement is accessible yet complex, and there's plenty of content here to keep you coming back for more. My only gripe is the motion controls. Most of them have a button input, but some, such as throwing your hat upwards, have no alternative, and a lot of the time if I try doing a motion input, there's a delay or the game misreads it as a different gesture. Even for the motion controls that do function properly, it's difficult for me to do them while playing the game in handheld mode.

Every time Nintendo releases a Mario themed game, they do it right. I've been playing these since Donkey Kong where he was introduced as "Jumpman". This game is extremely enjoyable with the right amount of challenge to keep me coming back everyday for more play!

As of writing this review, I've owned a Nintendo Switch for three years, almost to the day. I've held off on buying this game due to my lack of affinity for 3-D Mario titles, opting for Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe instead (another stellar title, by the way). After buying, playing, and really enjoying Super Mario 3-D World/Bowser's Fury, I decided to give Super Mario Odyssey a shot. Please tell me why I waited SO long to purchase this game? This game is PHENOMENAL! It takes all of the elements from both 2-D and 3-D Mario titles and combines them to make a Mario title on par with Super Mario Bros. 3, and that is saying something! Just by the game. If you have a Nintendo Switch, BUY IT! If you don't have a Switch, BUY IT ANYWAY! It's just that good!

Game is very vibrant and graphics are phenomenal. Mario Odyssey is easy to learn but requires skill to master. Really like the puzzle aspects of the gameplay, keeps you thinking. Large unique worlds and secret places to discover. Never boring each level keeps you on your toes.

Mario Odyssey is a perfect addition to the mario collection. It's an evolution to the series and draws on the gameplay mechanics of Mario 3D world and Mario Galaxy. The graphics is gorgeous and looks great in handheld mode too. The controls are tight and responsive. Highly recommend to any gamers and especially Mario fans!

I could not put it down, I like that you can go back to the worlds and continue the adventure doing different challenges you weren’t able to do before.

As creative as Mario Galaxy was, I love the gameplay mechanics of this new adventure. I've always loved Mega Man for the ability to acquire your enemies' weapons, and Odyssey takes that to another level. If you know nothing about this game, your hat gives you the ability to become several of the enemies in the game, as well as objects in the environments. This means that the gameplay is constantly changing as you discover all of the many transformations available to you. Discovering each one is necessary to discover the hundreds of moons located throughout the 16 worlds that you can travel between. Collecting some moons are necessary to finish the story, but the rest get you exploring every inch of the maps. They're not just scattered about like most collectibles in games, but most are hidden behind specific tasks that must be completed or secret locations that must be discovered. Just when you think you've found them all in a level and there can't possibly be anymore, you can check a list that shows there are still twenty left to find. Everything about this game is clever, and the gameplay does not get stale.

Looks great on switch 2. I would definitely play again on switch 2.

Very fun game. I bought for my daughter for Christmas. She loves the game. I also play it. If you are a Mario fan this is a must have. Gives mario 64 vibes but much better and love how they added part that are original mario brothers (2D) into the game.

My son received this item for xmas and loves it. he is a gamer and his first love is mario but playing xbox online with his friends consumes most of his gaming time. despite that he has made his way back to the switch to play this game more and more. as a parent i appreciate a family friendly game with levels and goals.
