Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have always been a huge fan of Super Mario 64. It absolutely changed gaming forever with its 3D graphics. The controls were tight, the music was awesome, and the levels were so much fun. Mario Odyssey took the formula of Mario 64 and cranked it up to 11. I haven't had this much fun playing a game in a very, very long time. Do you own a Switch? Buy this game. Don't own a Switch? Buy a Swtich, then buy this game!

I've never experienced a Mario game (save for the originals), so dropping into this one with the intricate move-sets was intimidating to say the least. I kept playing and kept playing, eventually mastering the cap jump and dive jump...it's such a beautiful game with even better gameplay. I was blown away by the music, the level design, and the alternate paths to the story objectives. BUY THIS GAME!

For anyone who remembers the awe and wonder if playing Super Mario 64 years ago, this will bring all the nostalgia you could possibly handle. Precise controls, free camera control and a beautiful open world make this one of the best Mario games I've ever played. The wife and I have spent hours playing and there seems to be no end to the enjoyment in sight. Anyone who has a Nintendo Switch should pick this up.

This is a really fun game to play with someone else. I have been playing this with my daughter and she really enjoys it. I love games like this and we will have a good time getting through this game.

I had been looking forward to this game since they announced the switch and all I can say is that it has met my expectations! It's so nice to be able to go around in a more open world like Super Mario Sunshine and 64. I love the cap gimmick and it's so fun to use. The graphics are beautiful with no frame rate issues. Being able to take it portable is fantastic. You won't stop smiling when playing his game!

Mario is great and it was nice to play this on sale. Game is great what else is there to say

The game is extremely fun. Challenging but easy (is there such a thing???). Mixes new gameplay styles with old, very creative. One example is one moment you're in the 3D world, next you are in a 2D classic style on a wall (don’t worry, it’s not like you are constantly switching from 2D to 3D like in a previous game). Lots of fun activities, graphics are amazing, and collecting the different outfits for Mario to wear is ADDICTING!!!! Can be 2 player, but not in the way you’d expect. First player controls Mario, second controls his hat (the hat plays an important role in how the game is played). My 4.5 year old is still getting the hang of manipulating a controller but when he is controlling the hat it is much easier and he feels he is contributing. Overall extremely satisfied with the game. Honestly I bought this and Breath of the Wild at the same time. I expected BOTW to be incredible, and it is. Odyssey surprised me because I was expecting it to be good, but it far exceeded my expectations, and I got a little distracted from Zelda. Not going to lie... Last note is that it has great replay value. After you initially beat the game, there are still more things to do, more worlds to explore. I went after as many of the items as I could before moving on to the next world. I have to say I was pretty confident I had little left to do. Buuuuut.... once I beat the game, (it told me) there were sooooo many more items to get and things to do!

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

The very best that the Switch can offer. Got me through tough times and it is mainline 3D Mario that I 100%.

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

I was skeptical about this Mario game before playing it. Before being released it just had some stuff I didn't think was Mario. Well Nintendo does a nice job of making it feel like Mario. I love how the game feels small and big at the same time and has that Mario 64 feel to it with open levels. It's pretty much the same great gameplay you expect from a first party Nintendo game with some new twists.

This game is the perfect example of how wonderful Super Mario games can be! The game looks gorgeous, plays beautifully, and there's a lot of fun to be found. The game is massive in itself and it's really fun playing on TV and then taking it with you. I was hooked for a solid three weeks before finally finishing the game. This is the perfect family game as well. This is a must own title for the Switch!

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

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

Follows the tradition of 3D Mario games started on Nintendo 64, but adds in a globe-trotting story and a mechanic whereby Mario will inhabit various things in the world. Overall, a great experience for all ages. Simple enough for kids as young as 5, but also offers complexity for more seasoned gamers. May not be as impressive as Super Mario Galaxy, but Mario lovers will not go wrong with Odyssey!

Great game made a great Christmas present for my sister

We bought the game for my son's 5th birthday. He absolutely loves it. And the controls are easy enough that he's actually really good at it. Sometimes he asks for my help at "difficult" parts, and I have a hard time giving the controller back to him. It's a really fun game, the graphics are crazy compared to the games I played when I was a kid! Definitely recommend it for young and old!

I have been playing this game for 10 hrs, never been to big on mario before but i am really enjoying my time just exploring everything because there is a lot of hidden stuff and its done very clever like. My only issue with it is the motion controls. There are a several moves that are either easier to perform or completely locked behind them, but most of these moves dont register right with split joycons, only controllers i have. I mostly play in hanheld mode which actually works better for the motion controls but who likes to shake the screen they are playing on. Most annoying part is that the dpad left and down dont really do anything, both bumpers juat recenter the camera, and 2 of the right joycon buttons are just do the same function as the other 2 so there is no reason for there to be no alternatives for the motion controls but they didnt bother to use them like that.

Super Mario Odyssey is such a well made game. Just pure fun. It's simple enough that my 3 year old can play it for an hour without feeling like he needs help. But there's enough challenge and charm for me to really enjoy playing it. I'm having to force myself to put the game down and do my adult responsibilities. Haven't felt this excitement for a Mario game since Super Mario World and Mario 64.

Mario Odyssey has been a load of fun. It's the reason that I decided to bite the bullet and buy a Nintendo Switch. I was always a fan of Mario Galaxy and Galaxy 2 and have been saddened that they did not continue that line of games. Well I'm glad to say that Mario Odyssey is the true successor and has already been endless fun in my home. Get this game if you've got a Switch. You won't regret it.
