Customer Ratings & Reviews

A great game reminiscent of Super Mario 64 and Sunshine. Fantastic level design and tight controls. Graphics are good with a nice art style.

Haven't played a mario game since Mario 64, and holy crap this game recaptured that magical feeling I had like 20+ years ago. The game looks and plays beautifully, is fun and charming, and tons to do and explore. The controls are great, easy to start but takes time to master, which is good if you're a more experienced gamer. I've been having a great time playing, and highly recommend this game to anyone who has a switch. Hell, if you don't have a switch buy one and play it!

One could say a million words about this game because of how amazing and fun it is but I'm just going to quickly say that as a life long Mario fan - This is the best entry to the Super Mario series since Super Mario 64. (And Mario Sunshine on Gamecube is a strong entry but this was that much fun).

I haven't gotten far into it since I have only played it for about an hour and a half and so far I am LOVING it. This is a very beautiful, bright, colorful and amazing game. It feels like it's Super Mario 64 mixed with Super Mario Galaxy. The controls are on point, the music is very nice and overall it is a game that everyone should play. I can't wait to let my nephew have a go at it and see what he thinks, hopefully It'll make him a Mario fan. A must buy for the beginner, casual and hardcore fan of platforms. Thank you.

I bought the Switch specifically for this game and it was worth every penny. I'm about 10 hours into the gameplay, but from what I've seen so far this will be a classic that sits well beside the previous Galaxy entries. The visuals are stunning, music beautiful and gameplay solid like usual. This game is more of an open world and less linear than the galaxy games which I like as it encourages exploration. A lot of new & exciting twists and turns in the Mario formula that I won't spoil. Totally worth buying a switch for. Enjoy!

To play mario is the reason i got the switch of course. I am 34 and used to play mario in the nes. Been years since I've played. Let me tell you i love this game. It really takes me back. The graphics are great. I love the story and everything. Still a lot of old characters i remember with a new age feel. When i put it on the big screen i was just amazed. The colors and everything just so beautiful. I am in love with this game all over again.

Very fun game. One of my favorite Mario games of all time. Top 5 Mario games of all time. It’s somewhat of an open world game.

Easily the best Mario since Galaxy and Galaxy 2, and possibly better. It's hard not to smile when exploring the many worlds Odyssey has to offer. The game is massive and will surprise you with new ideas at every turn. It only scratches the surface of the potential it offers through its incredible movement system. A sequel can't come soon enough. A few of the moons you're tasked to find are a little uninspired, but considering there are over 800 to seek out, that's not much of a complaint. I can't recommend it enough.

It has been a long time since I've played a Mario title of this sort. I skipped an entire console generation of the Wii, and only got the Wii U at the end of it's cycle. So my last Mario title of this sort, was Sunshine on the Gamecube. That being said, the game is very familiar coming from the memories of Sunshine on the Gamecube. Even at times having some interesting little throw backs to it. There is a lot more freedom in this game to slow down, admire the scenery, and explore. There are some little issues I have had with the games "advanced controls". They decided to make use of motion controls with the joycon controllers for some little advanced abilities. Some of which can still be activated with normal controls, but not easily as a quick joycon movement. Those controls so far have been entirely optional, and haven't ruined my enjoyment of the game, but was still a minor annoyance feeling barred from them when I play without using 2 free floating joycons, which just feels alien to me personally. All in all, the game so far has been great. Plenty to do, a lot to explore in typical Mario fashion. The motion controls just seem like a wonky gimmick addition to me.

I'm not a die hard Mario fan and this is easily one of the best games I've played. Really like how they changed the lives system to be more forgiving. Having little time to play these days, I just want to relax and have some fun without stressing too much on the number of lives I have left in any given zone. Only negative I can find is the lack of difficulty when fighting the bosses. The graphics are very sharp and look amazing and the new possession mechanic makes for some fun methods of getting from point A to B.

Lots to do in the game and fun gameplay. In addition, co-op play is available if you want to play with another person!

I got the Nintendo switch as a gift, the only reason I wanted to console at first was for this game. It’s definitely worth it. Game is awesome there are many things to do in each map. Not only is the story great but the additional things you need to do to clear the entire map 100% takes time to do. Some things you really need to think about what you need to do. Game overall is great would recommend to anyone who plans to buy a switch or already owns one. This MARIO game didn’t disappoint at all!!!!

(Tl;Dr if you have a switch, you need this game. If you don't have a switch buy... Buy the bundle) Listen, this game is so much fun. I remember playing Mario 64 when I was like 4 or 5 and the same joy I had when I played that game then, I feel now as a 22 year old. The story is very cute and it can a little bit repetitive at times but the gameplay itself is so much fun. The game makes it so that a brand new gamer can play the game but it you have a little more skill you can experiment and be rewarded for it.

This game is absolutely worth the money, its so fun to play, and the graphics and movement controls are just in sync with the game, and the design of the boss fights and other special currencies just make the game wonderful. I would recommend this game as 2 player.

Between LoZ: Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey, Nintendo swept several game awards for 2017, and with good reason. This game is beautiful, with engaging and challenging (but not difficult) strategy elements. It very much feels like the true spiritual successor of Mario 64, which is a win on my book. The controls are very easy and intuitive, though there are a few actions that require motion control and just can't be pulled off otherwise. The 2 player mode is a bit awkward, but it is there.

This is another brilliant entry in the 3D Mario series and quite possibly the best Mario game to date. Amazing level design, infectious music, perfect controls, and tons of fun new power-ups are just a few of the great things about this particular entry. The number of challenges to complete and secrets to uncover are staggering. It's hard to believe after so many Mario games Nintendo is still able to bring so much fresh and fun energy to the table. Every switch owner should buy this game, full stop.

Love this game. As a big fan of open world games like Zelda this was a little easy but was a fun change of pace.

Simply put, this game is truly special. Nintendo proves, yet again, Mr. Video Game still sells and he still has new tricks up his sleeve, or under his cap perhaps. This game is a showcase of Mario's great, industry forming history and a template for how games of the future need to feel. Nintendo will never die as long as they continue to treat their mascot like this. Please don't miss out on this game, and yes, this game is worth buying a Switch for if you don't already have one.

Basically, title. This is far and away the best Mario game I've played since the first time I sat down with the 64. The controls are tight, the locations are great, and the gameplay is incredible. Do you see some crazy place way up high that it looks like you could maybe abuse mechanics and get to? Go up there, there are probably coins because Nintendo knows that you would do that. The game is very intuitive and perfect for advanced gamers and newcomers alike. There is something for everyone.

This is a must have have for the Switch. Amazing gameplay, many hidden treasures and great level design. Mario is back in full force. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 is cause I would have loved a multiplayer option with Luigi and because it is generally an easy game. Not as complex as Zelda, but I didn't expect that.
