Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked this up as a gift for a family member who doesn't usually play video games. She was hooked within minutes. It's easy to advance through the story -- but there's tons of extra areas to explore that require fine-tuned skills. This makes the game great for newbies but also makes it easy to play through again once you've beat it the first time. Very impressed.

Being a console Mario game, I always feel there's that inherent "it's has to be good" vibe to it, and really, this game is awesome! Innovative levels, a TON of moons to collect, and that classic Nintendo fun. If you've played Super Mario 64 then you'll quickly pick up the controls for this game, however, there is the new Cappy mechanic and moves which are a great addition!

Every video game console needs a "killer app", and this title fits that bill for the Nintendo Switch. The graphics push the machine to its limits, and you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't appreciate the aesthetic. My only real gripe is that the wonky motion controls are hit-and-miss, and especially frustrating when its a miss. But overall, a top Switch title.

I've played most of the Mario games, and this is one of the best. The story is the typical, pun-filled, silly and absurd stuff. It's kiddie. But, the character animation is thoughtful, the gameplay is fun and challenging, the world is colorful even if the characters are flatly developed. In short, its one of the best 3D platformers I've played in a long time.

After playing Mario Odyssey with my nephew I knew I had to get my own copy. It's the best Mario title since Mario 64 and captures the same sense of fun, adventure and wonder as that game did. The game has a broad range of challenges to keep the completionist engaged, and also has an assist mode to make things less stressful. If you own a Switch this game is a must have!

I’ve been wanting Odyssey for literally years, and finally was able to snatch it up on a really good Black Friday deal. From what I’ve played of it so far, it’s genuinely so much fun and a really great time. I’m enjoying it so much as a longtime Super Mario Bros. fan.

There were a lot of additions to this game that have never been included in previous Mario games, for good and for bad. Great controls, clever platforming, and loads of fun. Some of the worlds (New Donk City) and elements of the worlds (T-Rex and scooters) didn’t seem to match with traditional Mario games. Still, I had tons of fun and was sad when I finished it.

Growing up I have been a devoted Nintendo fan, and I had my fair share of hours socked into Mario games. I can say without a doubt this game brings back the feeling of playing Mario 64, but with a new twist and new challenges. The game doesn't take long to beat. About 1-2 days if you breeze through it on the weekend, or about a good week & a half for us working folks. "Completionist" might take longer, due to the game wanting you to backtrack and explore other locations in the worlds. The game graphics are captivating and the colors are vibrant and refreshing. The motion controls bring a new concept that can not be compared to the wii or wii U games, which is a good thing considering the switch is trying to break from the mold. Overall, I thoroughly enjoy the game. I continue to go back to it and explore places and attempt to get tricky moons (that are not required to beat the game) and find little easter eggs that Nintendo snuck into the game to give that little extra TLC. This game is recommend for all levels (/expertise) and ages. This game gives an option for beginner players (be it kids or adults) for help and walk through, but it also rewards the devoted experts who can do without the help who can rethink the motion mechanics and reach platforms of negative space that have rewards at the top.

Thanks, great game would recommend to everyone that likes mario games

I love this game. It takes the classic Mario that we all know and love it puts it into an open world type game, where you can explore everything. If you love discovering hidden treasures and secrets, then this is definitely the game for you. The controls feel smooth, and the game is so much to fun to play around in. I would definitely recommend to anyone interested.

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

This game is wonderful! An absolute must have for Switch owners. Great for young and old players. Fun and challenging enough to keep you engaged without making you angry about it’s difficulty. Amazing mix of open world exploration with old school 2D platforming that makes me smile every time it comes up in the game. Can’t recommend this highly enough! Go get it now!

Great game!! Kids instantly loved it. Hard to pull them away from playing.

What more can I say other than it's a really fun game. Lots of cool nostalgia bits here and so many places to explore in each world. It may be less than what you can find in super mario 64, but each world is so much bigger. The number of moons you can find is simply staggering, but some really are just too easy to find. Other than that, it's a perfectly fun game!

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

this game is excellent! Tubular Level design, with each world full of INSANE secrets and fun places to explore and discover. Mario's Jump Man JUMPS! RUNS and, WAHOOOOOS his way through kingdom after kingdom, stealing the souls of his enemies and occupying their hollow shells! what more could you want? EXTREME! ACTION! FUN! IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE, GET ONE!

another great switch game a must play if you like playing Mario games alot different costumes for Mario along with levels with moons to collect. and once u beat it the first time there even more to do after lots of content and Nintendo keeps updating it with new costumes. far as best buys shipping it came in excellent condition and on time.

I usually stay away from Mario games because I can never seem to get the controls down precisely. I decided to check this out since it got rave reviews. For some reason, these controls feel much tighter and I can put Mario exactly where he should be all the time. The story is interesting, the game mechanics are great. It's a great game for any age.

If you're looking for the first game to get after getting your switch, this is it. Graphics look great on the switch and on the TV, music and sound effects are pretty cool, game play isn't too hard and easily done at your own leisure. It's fun to explore around every "level". Mario's move lists are expanded which makes traversing through the game more fun.

Most people talk about Breath of the Wild, but for me, Odyssey was the Switch's first truly great game. It has fun, unique worlds that you won't find in any other Mario game and interesting new traversal mechanics. I wish it had more difficult platforming, but it's about the journey more than difficulty. Good for kids.
