Got the game for my son after playing together on the in store game. Good graphics. My son loves Mario's flying hat that knocks out the bad guy!

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

The most highly anticipated Switch game yet, Super Mario Odyssey had a huge hype train behind it and still does. For the most part, it delivers. Odyssey is a beautiful game with tight controls, an epic feel and it makes you smile throughout. It is friendly for all ages and is highly addictive. Using your hat to possess enemies is one of the coolest game mechanics ever introduced to the Mario franchise. I love the 2D side-scrolling sections which pay tribute to the original Super Mario Bros. Overall, it is a masterpiece. It is, however, not a perfect game. Although not mandatory to beat the game, some of the hat moves in the game can only be done using motion controls. The motion controls are garbage. I would estimate that moves using motion controls have about a 20% success rate, even if you're performing the motion flawlessly. Also, the game is far too short and too easy. Although getting 100% completion is long and challenging, the main quest is too low on challenge and it's over far too quickly. I finished it in about 8 hours, and it felt even shorter. These flaws ultimately keep Odyssey from joining the elite class of the best Mario games ever made. That said, it's still a highly enjoyable experience that anyone who owns a Switch should play.

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

Mario has had dozens of games, and more than a handful of 3D adventures. Most of those 3D adventures never could live up to the beauty and fun of Mario 64, but this one not only is able to accomplish this easily, but it also completely surpasses it. Mario Odyssey is simply the most fun I've ever had in a Mario game! There is always something new waiting around every corner, something new to explore, new rewards every which way you turn. If you like 3D Mario games like Mario 64, Sunshine, or Galaxy, this will be right up your alley.

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

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

Fantastic game that hits all the major points a game should. Amazing art style, great controls, smart camera, engaging game play and re-playable. One of the things that I love about this game is the way they handle you "losing a life". Instead of punishing you with trying to find 1-Ups or keeping an eye on your lives, the game just removes some coins from your stash. The great part is that you can just run around the level and recoup your losses which makes the frustration of missing your jumps or that ledge a little less painful.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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!

This is a fantastic game! My son, 8, absolutely loves it and we even play together (in two player one person is Mario and one person is his hat). Great story line with the game as well. I'm not usually a fan of open world games where you have to find things - too easy to get bogged down - but this one keeps the pace up nicely.

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.

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.

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