Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Very fun game, easy to pick up and play or play for a while. Its Mario ofc its gonna be fun!

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.

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.

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.

A game designed to honor and indulge in the spirit of discovery. Mario controls smoothly and freely with the deepest set of moves and techniques he’s ever had — not the least of which is the ability to throw his cap, which can then be used to control certain enemies and use their special skills! Coins, power moves, and secret areas abound for the clever and observant explorer, making this a game with a focus on traveling, seeing the sights, and finding your own path, with some tightly-designed linear obstacle courses sprinkled throughout your journey. It’s a fine mix, and I very much enjoy it!

Seems like games these days are just dull, plain, and boring. Every now and then there are good ones, but they are often ruined with micro transactions, DLC, or made to be online only. This game offers a classic gaming experience with none of the modern annoyances must games have these days. You get a nice long adventure with a variety of worlds to explore and activities to do. With so much to do and discover, this game will offer hours of fun for weeks. Want to play with a friend? There is a 2-player co-op mode as well, only downside is the second player controls the hat character and has to stay with Mario at all times, rather than having a fully controllable character.

I saw online where Best Buy was selling copies of this game on sell for 50% off - around $30 instead of its usual $60 price. Additionally, the physical copies were the ones on sale and I always prefer to get those if they’re available. I ordered the copy in the afternoon at the location nearest my house, placed it on hold, got off work at 7:00 PM, and picked it up on my way home. The entire trip inside to get the game took less than 5 minutes! Will be using this service again

Even if you’ve played this game years ago or are just picking it up now, Mario Odyssey is by FA the best 3D Mario game out. Best Buy made this purchase easy and the delivery went without a hitch.

Where to start. This is a game I have been looking forward to it for some time. That wait is finally over and let me tell you...it was worth the wait. Visually the kingdoms are great and distinct. Locating the moon's is fun and you will quickly see you can lose track of time when you get on a role. From simple to complex... controlling Mario can lead you to some great speed runs or clever ways to get from point A to point B. Overall the game is amazing and one of my favorites this year. I completed the game with 405 moon's and am working on getting the ones I missed.

This game is great! I actuslly have missed out on a lot of mario games but coming back into the games after getting a switch is definitely a great experience for me. Definitely would recommend for anyone with a switch.

I have never put this much time into any Mario game and had this much fun the entire way through. I will admit that the game starts slow and very formulaic. But the more you play the better the levels get, and the better you get the jumping and hat mechanics the more you open up in the levels. By the end of the game you feel like a parkour God! And the fan service given to long time Mario fans is amazing! This is one of three must own Switch titles out right now in my opinion. Right up there with Zelda Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe!

Good game , super good graphics and colors , great plot

Was praying this would be on the level of Mario Sunshine, Galaxy, or 3D World, and boy is it. Nintendo once again redefined Mario and made it feel fresh. The graphics are honestly amazing, even when using in portable mode, colors pop like no other, controls extremely smoothly. Only gripe is the motion control aspects. Not sure if there is a way to turn those off and use the analogs or not (havent played with settings). You can shake the joycons certain ways and control the hat. Its a cool concept but when playing in portable mode with joycons attached, its awkward.

Super Mario Odyssey is a joyful masterpiece that redefines 3D platforming. Bursting with creativity, its vibrant kingdoms brim with clever challenges, hidden secrets, and delightful surprises. Mario’s new pal, Cappy, adds innovative mechanics, making every capture a blast. The visuals pop, the soundtrack soars, and the gameplay is pure, polished fun. A must-play for Switch owners!
