Customer Ratings & Reviews

My kids absolutely love this game. They begged me for another and I ended up purchasing this one along with the original one they wanted, to my surprise, they play with this one even more and enjoy all the levels to the game.

I'm new to the Switch and picked this up to relive Super Mario 64 nostalgia and Odyssey did not disappoint. It's a fun story and lots of exploring to do for completionist. I also really enjoy that there is a co-op mode.

As a long time Mario fan, Super Mario Odyssey hits all the right spots. It's platforming is solid, it's gameplay is incredibly fun, and the music is simply astounding. Forced motion controls for some things leaves a little to be desired, while I'm not troubled by it, I can see other people who might be, and it can be a pain to shake the switch when playing it in handheld mode. Overall, this game is rather solid and a good contender for GoTY.

This is one of the best Super Mario games ever made!

A good Mario game. So far we've enjoyed playing through the story!

Super Mario Odyssey really is one of the best games for the Switch. The controls and overall playability are just excellent, but that’s a given with Nintendo, isn’t it? It was a great visit to nostalgia with references to the original Super Mario on NES incorporated into the gameplay. Kids and adult will enjoy it with hours and hours of gameplay. You can even continue playing after the end as well!

Amazing game. The packaging is perfect and the game works.

Great game made a great Christmas present for my sister

Bought this game for my 10 year old son. He loves it and so does the rest of the family. Game is top tier!

Amazing game! My daughter and absolutely love it! Best graphics and storyline!

There's not much more I can say that hasn't already been said by actual critics and other users. The game is as much fun as you would expect from a Nintendo title with tons of content. Looks and performs extremely well either in docked or portable mode. In portable mode, the Switch can play this game for at least 2.5 hours before the battery is depleted. Would recommend to any Switch owner as an essential, must have title for the system.

Fun Switch game for a 5 yr old! Kept him entertained and was easy enough for him to figure out on his own.

Fun, never boring, game that fluctuates between easy and challenging. It’s like the perfect platformer, and would definitely recommend as one of the first games to get on a Switch. Getting to the story shouldn’t be too hard, but if you plan on getting 100% completion it can get really challenging quick.

This is such a fun game with awesome graphics! The storyline is a blast and keeps you entertained for hours and hours of play! So many new things to do and see, and our family really enjoyed all the brand new adventures that seemed to pop up around every corner. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fantastic game to add to your collection!

well, it was bound to happen. The kids got into Nintendo. Previously, my son played Lego City on XBOX & would watch me play some Forza. On occasion I'd pull out the PS3 and play some Marvel vs Capcom... but I decided he was ready for Mario, Animal Crossing, and Zelda and HO BOY what a rabbit hole we fell into. Since then we've gotten the other Mario Switch games (Maker 2, Paper, 3D All-Stars, etc)... gotten into ROMs, custom Flash games... I suppose cosplay & mushroom-induced hallucinations inside a labyrinth of pipes & toadstools is the logical next step. Anyway, this game is PERFECT: the controls, the music, the gameplay. Previous Mario 3D games seem so janky compared to this, or maybe I'm just bad at old Mario 3D games. Odyssey is one of the greatest games I've ever played, and it made my son appreciate Nintendo as one of our civilizations' greatest brands in human history (I'm not exaggerating. Think about it. Sony, Xbox, all good too, but Nintendo is NINTENDO, man).

There's a lot to love about Super Mario Odyssey. The gameplay, controls, challenges, and visuals are top notch. The story is typical for a modern Mario game, but that's not why we play them. From the moment the opening cutscene ended and I had control of Mario, instinct took over. Running, jumping, triple jumps, wall jumps, slides. All the moves were there, and I didn't even need to think about them. But as is standard for Mario games, quick tutorials abound. By the time you work your way through the "tutorial" stage, you've been introduced to all the basic moves. In addition to the classic moves, Mario gets several new tricks in this game, including the ability to take control of certain enemies to get around the stages. As you encounter new challenges, tips pop up. Speaking of challenges, there is a nice mix. Some of them are super easy, some of them are head scratchers, and some are only accessible once the story has been completed. There has been a complaint that some of the "challenges" were just giveaways for taking the logical path. I don't have a problem with this at all. Perhaps the game is a bit generous with the rewards, but it is great for people who just want to complete the main game and don't really have the interest (or the time) to find every secret. It's not overly complicated to get enough "moons" to unlock the next world or stage. Additionally, because of the mobile nature of the switch, having a lot of quick challenges is great for when you only have a few minutes of play time. It's possible to complete a challenge during a 15 minute bus or train ride. This also is great for someone like myself, who might only have 30 minutes of game time between other family responsibilities. I feel like I am making real progress even in short gaming sessions. If you're a fan of Mario games or haven't played one since the N64, Super Mario Odyssey won't disappoint.

This game was a giant nostalgic punch in the face! I mean that in all the best ways possible! Many things in this game serve as a giant love letter to old Nintendo fans, especially those that played Mario 64. The game has lots of well thought out worlds, and plenty of challenging moons to collect. This is easily one of the best games on the Switch and I highly recommend it to everyone! This game is worth the switch alone!

I am so impressed with Mario Odyssey. It is so well made - graphics, storyline, etc. it’s also challenging and interesting enough for adults, but it can also be easy enough for my 7 year old son to learn and play! I grew up with the old Nintendo systems so this 3D animation is just amazing!

This game is out of this world (literally as well) and you shouldn't pass it up. I place it up with Breath of the Wild in terms of eye-catching, immersive games that you can't just put down. Cappy brings a fun new mechanism into the game and the graphics are beautiful as always. There are so many kingdoms to visit and Nintendo encourages it - you'll find tons of secrets lying around for those willing to explore to the fullest.

Nintendo is killing it this year. Great game for kids and adults alike. The controls are perfect for those who want to chain together more difficult and complex moves, or those who just want an easy-going gameplay experience. I can play next to my 5 year old son, and both of us get a similar level of challenge and satisfaction. Looks great in docked on 1080p, upscaled to 4k, and in handheld. 10/10 game of the year contender.
