In a way. Mario Odyssey takes a little something from every mario game before it. I don't want to ruin any of the surprises, but this is Mario at his most authentic best. The newest and best feature is Cappy, allowing you to explore the Mushroom Kingdom in a way like never before. The story is good at about 12 hrs, but you could easily clock in way more time trying to visit every world and collect everything. This makes it fun to come back to even after finishing.

A great game the whole family can enjoy. The kids loved it.

The game is good. The price is good for Black Friday event. Finally, I get this game physically.

This is a modern classic Mario game that has retro throwbacks interwoven in some of the obstacles. Adding to the dynamic open world concept, Mario's hat allows you to become your adversaries to complete obstacles. You collect moons hidden in each world on a journey to save the princess from Bowser. Well made, and likely one of the key reasons the Nintendo Switch has been such a wildly popular console.

The game is extremely fun! It is my favorite 3D mario game

If you like Mario, then buy this game. Just stop reading here and get it. Super Mario Odyssey recaptures the magic of Super Mario in surprising new ways. It brings with it a return to the game play of Mario 64, wherein the world is explored instead of completed. (Unlike Mario 64, the level doesn't end when you obtain a Power Moon; you can keep playing.) In traditional Mario-style, Peach is yet again kidnapped by Bowser, who is planning a wedding to marry her! Mario tries to stop him, but is beaten back to the Cap Kingdom. Mario meets a local, Cappy, whose girlfriend (a tiara) is worn by Princess Peach. Together they begin their journey. to save their respective sweathearts. Cappy is with Mario throughout the game. He can be thrown horizontally, vertically, and even in a circle! He serves as an attack, a way to collect coins, to deflect or destroy projectiles, to act as a platform, and to capture enemies! This final technique provides the most variety for the game, as Mario essentially becomes the captured creature/enemy! Mario can capture a LOT of characters from frogs, to turtles, to fish, to Bullet Bills! In order to go from one Kingdom to the next they find and repair their hat-shaped ship, the Odyssey. Power Moons are required to do this. The goal then, is to collect enough Power Moons to upgrade the Odyssey to travel to the next kingdom. These Power Moons are scattered all over each kingdom, and there's no required order in which to collect them. The game starts off quite easy and gives you plenty of time to explore at your leisure. This makes completing the game relatively easy, and I found I finished the story without too much difficulty as only 124 moons are required to complete the story. However, there are a total of 880 unique Power Moons waiting to be discovered. (During the course of the story, a second set of Power Moons are unlocked.) The post-story gameplay of finding and collecting Power Moons kept me playing for many more hours. Some of these moons are quite challenging to collect!

My Nephew love the game!!! Best Christmas present!

Great game all around for casual and hardcore players . Joy-con controls are okay gets to be a bit much. Played mostly with pro controller which offered tighter controls. Tons of replability as beating last world unlocks more to do. If you have a young one or a second person around they can control the hat which resulted in some hilarious moments for me. Fun game, tight controls, great platforming and gorgeous game must buy for switch owners

My kids love this game they play it everyday both my kids

This is a great game that's safe for all ages, providing hours of family fun. It reminds me of a bit of Mario Galaxy. There is some disappointment if you are expecting more of the classic feel, but it throws in a few surprises. I can play for about 1-2 hours before finding it extremely repetitive and needing a break. It is someone lacking in the bad guy content, there are not a lot of Goombas to smash and Turtles to Kick. And, the Boss battles were designed primarily with children in mind (Target Audience). Sometimes you find yourself wondering around a lot of wide open spaces (No pun intended Adults ;P), running to the next object every little while gets old. But, these spaces and levels are visually pleasing and have some wonderful graphics. Plus, there is a horde of mini games along the way, almost too many sometimes, definitely designed for the Adderall generation. Overall this is a fun game that I highly recommend to any age, whether entertaining the kids, having family fun, or for nostalgia's sake it is a lot of fun, what Mario is all about.

Think Mario 64 except more open-world with new innovative controls and mechanics there are more amazing platforming best 3d Mario game to date your hat is your weapon and it talks which is pretty cool you can buy tons of outfits with coins you collect hours upon hours of gameplay its completely worth the 60 bucks Nintendo has done it again if you yearn for the days of Mario 64 and the Golden Age of Gaming this is the game for you 10 out of 10 worth every penny

Love this game! Perfect for new and old mario fans.

This is the return the the 3D mario formula that was first introduced in Mario 64 and later expanded upon in Sunshine. The sequel to Sunshine (Galaxy) went for a more linear approach, focusing on point A to B challenges set around themes. 3D World took the 2D formula and accurately conveyed that feeling in a 3D space. Odyssey goes back to the more open world exploratory nature of Mario's first 3D outing and expands upon it with a variety of new moves that allow for some complicated jumps and traversals. Even with these added mechanics, the game still seems to be accessible enough to allow a player who may not be as skilled to slowly and gradually learn and grow as a player. Levels and challenges are designed with those two players in mind, allowing for some amazing platforming or simpler paths. Anyone who claims the game to be "too easy" is not taking advantage of the amazing move sets. This is a game where anyone can find challenge in it if you look for it, it is a game that truly "captures" (pun intended) the joy of a 3D Mario platformer. The game goes out of its way to reward risky behavior and exploration, the game is always beckoning the advanced player to try to "make the jump" to hidden areas or hard to reach spots. The amount of content in the game is astounding. With over 800 "moons" to collect, a completionist (myself) will have plenty to do. The game does "give out" a health amount of moons with little effort on the player, which for some might seem too easy, but for every easy catch there is at least 5 challenging, hidden or clever moons. The game is big into rewarding a player who is having fun. Overall Nintendo has shown once again that, in their mind, a game has one purpose: for the player to have fun. TL;DR version: This game is 120% fun, with a side of Mario charm.

Very recommended game for kids and adults! After years of being released, didn’t know what I was missing.

The best 3D mario game that introduces several new and innovating mechanics

Its Mario of course its going to be fun. Gkids and grown ups thinks its fun.

I am just lost for words. The spirit of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine lives on in this game. It was as if I stepped into a portal to my childhood. I highly recommend the "single joy-con in each hand" motion control scheme. The motions controls feel so intuitive and really enhance the gameplay. Cappy serves as a great sidekick, with his boomerang and capture abilities providing a refreshing take on the classic 3D Mario Mechanics. Visually, it is a gorgeous game. It maintains 60 fps consistently in both mobile and docked. There seems to be a variety of different environments in this game, unlike Super Mario Galaxy and Sunshine. While those games followed a common theme, Odyssey takes influence from Super Mario 64 and Super Mario World in that there is a (Spoilers) desert world, ghost world. tropical world, metro world, etc. The music is phenomenal. I recommend that everyone use a headset to truly appreciate it. I had chills running down my spine once I heard the theme from the Switch Presentation Trailer for Odyssey. No other franchise has made as big of an impact on the gaming industry as Mario. He is the Micky Mouse of gaming. This game can be enjoyed by anyone. Enthusiast gamers. Father/Mother playing with his or her kids. Teenagers. Anyone. I had lost faith in Nintendo during the Wii U generation. They have absolutely blown me away with putting out masterpieces such as Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. These 2 games make the Switchh worth it. I must also add that this year has been incredible for gaming. Besides Mario and Zelda, we had Persona 5, Cuphead, Horizon Zero Dawn, Nier, Nioh, Divinity. Instead of debating Game of the Years. We should declare 2017 as the Year of the Games. I hope everyone enjoys these games as much as I have.

Being a child of the 80’s I feel like I have grown up with Mario. I will always hold a special place in my heart for the side scrollers of my youth and it excites me they are starting to make a comeback. Sonic has had two side scrolling releases this year, indie games like shovel knight, and even the side scrolling Mario fa games have been fantastic. I was hesitant in buying this as I haven’t found much love for the 3D Mario’s of the past. The controls have often felt off to me. It’s probably a generational thing. Odyssey controls well, is fun, and a game that I can play around my kids. The graphics are the usual well done Nintendo cartoonish style. Not exactly ps4 resolution and level, but good for the switch. There is a lot to do and discover, the worlds and enemies are varied. Worth a buy. My only criticism is that the game isn’t very hard if your not a completionist. That is the enemies are easy and the puzzle solving is kid level, but still enjoyable. The only real difficulty is collecting all the mood.

Mario Odessey is a must have switch game along with Zelda, Mario Kart, and Smash Brothers. It is action packed and also packs in some of the nostalgia of Mario in it. I will definitely recommend it as it will give you hours of gameplay and also a vast open world to explore. Do not forget to venture out off the regular path because that is where you find extra coins, fun games, and other valuables. Definitely try it out.

This game was touted as the sequel to Super Mario 64 and it lives up to it. With great controls (aside from the forced use of some motion controls) and huge worlds this game is everything an open Mario should be. I was a little disappointing that they're weren't many challenging levels at the end and overall this is an easy game. I'm hoping that they do a direct sequel like Super Mario Galaxy 2, this game's mechanics are just begging to be expanded.
