This is the perfect game for kids learning to play video games! My son is 6 years old and just started getting into video games. It is hard for them to navigate a joystick. He and I would play, I would play as Mario and he would play as Cappy. This helped him learn to navigate using a joystick effectively. The game is very fun! Using Cappy to take control of different enemies is a unique game experience that adds variety. The "open world" concept is cool for a Mario game! The only con I can think of is that the camera angle can be frustrating, but that's a minor complaint.

It's Mario, what else can I say. When I initially saw the first previews of this game, I wasn't that excited. It looked like Mario 64 with bigger maps. In a way it kind of is like Mario 64 with bigger maps, but the new features really add to the experience. While the game lacks a story, I think that is part of the beauty of it. This makes it really easy to play in short bursts to just pick up a few moons here and there. For anyone that likes collecting items and outfits, this game has a ton of them, and also some nice surprises. I only saw early videos of the game so I went into the game blind and can say I thoroughly enjoying the experience.

Anytime a video game gets a 10/10 review by big names like IGN, I'm always a little skeptical (and intrigued). I was already interested in getting this new game, but I was more excited to know that it was reviewed so highly. I can honestly say it lives up to hype. There's plenty of differences between each world which kept me and the kids interested. And there's a lot left to do even after the game is technically beaten. Graphics are nice. Controls are solid most of the time. Soundtrack is fun. And kids like the two-player mode. It's also a pretty decent challenge at times, particularly after end-game. Good times. Don't pass this one up.

Super Mario Odyssey has been a huge hit for my 4 year old. The colorful worlds and fun characters keep him completely engaged, and the gameplay is easy enough for him to enjoy while still offering plenty to explore. He loves discovering new areas, collecting moons, and jumping into each new adventure. It is fun, imaginative, and perfect for young players. Seeing how excited he gets every time he plays makes it worth every penny.

I've never been a huge Nintendo or Mario guy. Last time I played Mario was dabbling in Galaxy on Wii. After seeing the crazy scores on review sites I figured I had to give Odyssey a try. Great purchase. I am 30 years old and this game takes me back to when I was 10 and would play games. No competitive online, or having to amass power levels or better gear. Just good, plain fun. This game has been a blast. Haven't tried 2 player yet so I can't speak to that unfortunately, but if you want something that is just a fun, stress-free game to pick up and play for an hour this is the go-to game for it.

Just another hit that will keep you entertained. I'm a true gamer, meaning I play EVERY system and appreciate the experience, not just the graphics. I play on almost every platform and as always Nintendo just makes great games with great stories that are fun interactive and get alot out of the features available. If you're a pro PlayStation or Xbox or a member of the PC Master Race you are doing yourself a disservice by missing out on the other systems far less the awesome entertainment value that Nintendo has always provided with every system. Mario Odyssey is up there with Zelda Breath of the Wild, it's amazing.

Super Mario Odyssey on the Nintendo Switch has been a huge hit in our house. My son absolutely loves it! The colorful worlds, fun characters, and creative levels keep him entertained for hours. It’s easy enough for kids to enjoy, but still challenging in a fun way. He especially loves using Cappy to “capture” different characters. Highly recommend for families with kids — it’s fun, safe, and full of adventure.

I bought this for my son for Christmas. He absolutely loves this game. He had so much fun and loved talking about it. Mario for the win!

Absolutely the best hat-based Mario game ever made.

One of if not the best Mario game on the switch !!!

I was really hyped to play this new game on the Switch and this game definitely hits the mark and doesn't disappoint. The gameplay is smooth and controls are spot on. I found the game to be very enjoyable and the storyline has pretty much been to save the Princess and your objective is to collect Power Moons to get through each Kingdom. Mario's hat "Cappy" is a new awesome character/partner that you use extensively throughout the game. I hope Nintendo will add some DLC in the future to extend the life of this game but overall I am very happy and would recommend this all Mario fans, you won't regret it.

Super Mario Odyssey is a great game. The various kingdoms and their novel themes are some of the funnest and most aesthetically amazing environments in a Mario game to date. Pros: - Great Pacing: So much to do and you're never stuck doing the same thing long enough to get bored. - HUGE amounts of nostalgia throwbacks: There are a lot of nods to classic Super Mario Bros. & Donkey Kong games. - The new hat mechanic is a blast! - If you have enjoyed Mario 64/Mario Galaxy, there are a lot of familiar and welcomed returns to this series. - Pauline: Peach has friend-zoned Mario for far too long. Time to go back to the hot redhead instead (there's an awesome scenario in New Donk City that's well worth completing). Cons: - Enforcing motion controls to pull off some of the more advanced moves is a bad decision on Nintendo's part. - The lack of depth perception, 8-point directional controls, and weird slow-to-acceleration controls can often become frustrating as they may cause you to fail scenarios, miss jumps, or aim your hat throws improperly. - The cosmetic costumes, although great looking, don't offer any mechanical value (buying a snorkle/swimsuit doesn't make you be able to hold your breath under water longer or swim faster, the winter coat doesn't stave off the chilling effects of the cold any better than the boxer shorts, etc.). It makes pursuing these costumes kind of shallow and moot. - The main game is incredibly short: I thought I took the scenic route and yet won the main portion of the game in 2-3 days. Players ignoring the peripheral content could probably win the game in half that time. There's a huge collect-a-thon after the main game is won so at least you're able to keep playing but the story structure is crafted considerably worse. All in all, this is one of the best Super Mario games I've played and if you're a fan of 3D platforming, games the whole family can enjoy, and/or are thinking of taking the Switch plunge and are still wondering if there are enough good games on it yet - this will definitely be for you (see also: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, etc.).

Just like Breath of the Wild, I wasn't absorbed by all the pre-release hype that had been accumulating. I thoroughly enjoy Platformers and always enjoy Mario games due to the quality and level design they bring to the table. I went out of my way to get every Power Moon that I could by the time I finished the final boss. I ended at 422 and then I learned that the game has over 800 Moons to get. Offers enjoyment for everyone, and very nonlinear level design allows for a vast number of creative ways to beat the game. Definitely a must own for any Switch owner, Nintendo fan, and those who love Platformers!

This game is phenomenal. Follows a fun story line, allows for two player mode, and controls are simple and interactive. I would recommend this game to anyone.

verio good mario game. plays well. fast ship.great price.

Completing the main game story wasn’t really that hard, and the game play was very interesting to follow. Graphics were excellent and well-designed (I even took various screenshots of Mario at different scenic places). However, completing the whole game, although addicting, is quite frustrating as various challenges were pretty hard to finish. The camera feature is also sometimes hard to control alongside Mario’s movement which makes it even more challenging. Overall, it’s a very fun, challenging, and addictive game.

Very cool game overall. Amazing graphics, great story, lots of things to do, a huge adventure. The reason why I am giving it 4 stars and not 5 is because the game is very easy. Too easy in my opinion. Would recommend this game to most unless you are looking for something challenging.

One of the best games to be released on switch. Mario is back with a super entertaining adventure.

Woohoo. This game is dope. I haven't played a mario game since SNES. I am a super stoked about it

A fantastic Super Mario game if you are a fan platformers and 3D open area's. Mario's adventure will bring you on a worldwide tour in order to save Princess Peach from the Evil King Bowser's forced marriage on her. Travel around the world with Mario's new friend Cappy as they take the sights and see what the world has to offer!
