Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

It is impossible to play this game without a smile on your face. Very well done, environments are gorgeous (By Nintendo MARIO standards... of course PS4 Pro and Xbone X make these laughable). Game runs smooth as butter in handheld and docked both at 60fps which is a very big deal because it means that I have yet encountered a framrate lul and I have played for hours on end. Impressive game all round manages to pay homage and stay fresh. Best 60 you can spend for the Switch.

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.

This has got to be one of the best games out there right now. If you love the Mario character and even more if you're returning to gaming. This system and game are great together. The game is not to hard however is challenging and always changing up scenery, and different courses. I really enjoy this game for the clarity, perfect picture, music sounds. I can send hours with this game either on the hand held counsel or switched on to y TV set.

Another great 3D Mario adventure! The team that released this back in 2017, went on to make Donkey Kong Bananza which came out this year. Tons of stuff to do and collect in Odyssey. If you're a Mario fan, this title will put a smile on your face!

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

I bought this game to play with my 6 year old daughter and it did not disappoint. We’re having a blast!!! Had been a long long time since I played a Super Mario title and this game made me feel like a kid again. Highly recommended.

I was a little worried that the hype that this game was receiving was going to be way overblown and the game not live up to it but I'm so glad I was wrong. It feels like a subtle blend of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy in play style. The levels are really enjoyable and Nintendo has, like with BotW, made the game where you can tinker around with doing things in odd ways and it pay off. Side note, the best way to play to me might have to be joycon in each hand.

I love this game. I could get stuck on it for hours.

This game brings back memories and feelings that only come with the greatest Mario releases. This title is right up there with the best of them: Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, Mario 64, and Galaxy 1/2. The game mechanics feel fresh and inspiring. I could not put the controller down. Just one more moon.... and then just one more after that... and before you know it, it's been 12 moons and on to the next kingdom. A definite must-buy for all switch owners.

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. 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 Switch 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.

As a long time Mario fan, Super Mario Odyssey hits all the right spots. It's platforming is solid, it's gameplay is incredibly fun, and the music is simply astounding. Forced motion controls for some things leaves a little to be desired, while I'm not troubled by it, I can see other people who might be, and it can be a pain to shake the switch when playing it in handheld mode. Overall, this game is rather solid and a good contender for GoTY.

Super Mario Odyssey really is one of the best games for the Switch. The controls and overall playability are just excellent, but that’s a given with Nintendo, isn’t it? It was a great visit to nostalgia with references to the original Super Mario on NES incorporated into the gameplay. Kids and adult will enjoy it with hours and hours of gameplay. You can even continue playing after the end as well!

There's not much more I can say that hasn't already been said by actual critics and other users. The game is as much fun as you would expect from a Nintendo title with tons of content. Looks and performs extremely well either in docked or portable mode. In portable mode, the Switch can play this game for at least 2.5 hours before the battery is depleted. Would recommend to any Switch owner as an essential, must have title for the system.

Fun, never boring, game that fluctuates between easy and challenging. It’s like the perfect platformer, and would definitely recommend as one of the first games to get on a Switch. Getting to the story shouldn’t be too hard, but if you plan on getting 100% completion it can get really challenging quick.

well, it was bound to happen. The kids got into Nintendo. Previously, my son played Lego City on XBOX & would watch me play some Forza. On occasion I'd pull out the PS3 and play some Marvel vs Capcom... but I decided he was ready for Mario, Animal Crossing, and Zelda and HO BOY what a rabbit hole we fell into. Since then we've gotten the other Mario Switch games (Maker 2, Paper, 3D All-Stars, etc)... gotten into ROMs, custom Flash games... I suppose cosplay & mushroom-induced hallucinations inside a labyrinth of pipes & toadstools is the logical next step. Anyway, this game is PERFECT: the controls, the music, the gameplay. Previous Mario 3D games seem so janky compared to this, or maybe I'm just bad at old Mario 3D games. Odyssey is one of the greatest games I've ever played, and it made my son appreciate Nintendo as one of our civilizations' greatest brands in human history (I'm not exaggerating. Think about it. Sony, Xbox, all good too, but Nintendo is NINTENDO, man).

This game is fun i play it everyday mario is my favorite

This is such a fun game with awesome graphics! The storyline is a blast and keeps you entertained for hours and hours of play! So many new things to do and see, and our family really enjoyed all the brand new adventures that seemed to pop up around every corner. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fantastic game to add to your collection!

This game can be very challenging but it’s definitely a fun game to play. The puzzles are fun to figure out and platforming is still there like the traditional Mario games. The scenery and graphics to each world are very creative.

The Mario game that even an millennial knows and can enjoy as a whole new world. Mario has never been more cool. Hands down the best Mario game.
