A ton of fun! This Hass to be one of the best Mario games I have ever played. The worlds were incredible and incredibly detailed. I loved searching and exploring. Even the ability to change into a Other items are villains was fun too. Hands-down get this game!

This is our first Nintendo Switch game and we love it. My 5 year old daughter really enjoys playing it. Great graphics and Mario takes me back to the 80s.

Odyssey is a great departure from the standard 3 dimensional mario games we have seen since Mario 64. Odyssey showcases its roots in ways that most Mario connoisseurs will not just recognize but will love.
Odyssey is not so hard that you can't beat bowser in a day or two, but it also has plenty to do, to keep you coming back for weeks after. Playing Cappy is a neat twist, that gives some second player involvement similar to Mario U. With the best graphics ever, and Marios larger than life wardrobe, Odyssey has brought Adventure back to Mario. I think Odyssey is truly a super Mario!

One of a couple games in my Switch library.
Fun game that can be challenging and rewarding. Highly praised from many gamers as one of the great games on the new platform. I had fun exploring the worlds. The main campaign is pretty easy to beat, but the game challenges you to go back in the worlds and find all the moons, and other collectibles in the game. It has a nice bit of nostalgia for the gamers who were around for Super Mario 64, but it is also welcoming to newer gamers. Would recommend!
Make sure you grab the 3 Wedding Themed Mario Amiibo for costumes!

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.

Re-purchased this for my Switch 2. Easily the greatest 3D Mario game. Switch 2 picture and framerate improvements really boost the experience and make a 5 star game easily 6 stars!

Super Mario Odyssey is the latest installment in the Super Mario line of games, but it's far from a rehashed sequel. SMO is a fresh take on the genre. It's a great balance between just challenging enough, but not too hard, to advance through kingdoms and complete the basic game and incredibly difficult if you're someone who needs to find and complete 100% of the game.
Definitely going to be the game of the holidays - whether it's your first time playing Super Mario or you're coming back after a long hiatus, get this game.

My son and I have had a ton of fun working our way through the levels on this game. It does provide the option of 2 players, the second player has limited functionality as a flying hat but with my 7 year old he loves being the hat. My wife who has never played video games recently started playing as well. Highly recommend for those of you with fond memories of Mario world on the original nintendo, this is is a whole new level of mario 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.

This is my favorite mario game to date. The game has so many new mechanics and brings me back to the classic Super Mario. It brings elements from past games like the 8-bit Mario and Super Mario Sunshine! It advances the open world-feel experience with sharp and vibrant color.
The Co-op multiplayer is a great addition. As Cappy, you fell like your own character and provides actual help you can't get when playing single player.
Overall the game is a great and wonderful experience that easily lands 15+ hours of fun.

Ever since the Mario Galaxy games and Sunshine Mario before that, all of the Mario games have felt like bland reboots of older versions. With Mario Odyssey I would say that there is new life in the series. The gameplay feels familiar and new at the same time. I like the options of playing in handheld, tabletop or tv mode. Although, if you really want to play the game as the designers intended, you need to play tabletop or tv mode with a joycon in each hand. The game will remind you of what you are missing out on with pop-ups if you choose to play in handheld mode. I have played the majority of the game in handheld mode, and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. The fun for me has been exploring each kingdom looking for all the secrets.

This is a fast-paced game with fun controls. Mario and his world look better than ever. With a move set pulled straight from Super Mario 64 (with a few delightful twists and additions), traveling from kingdom to kingdom is a joy both aesthetically and functionally. Play at your pace and explore to no end. I had high expectations, and it’s still blowing me away. 5 stars for sure!

So far, it's a lot of fun. This game marks a return to open-world format like Mario 64 and Sunshine vs individual levels. I like the change, which accompanies Zelda's change this generation and I also think it will make for good speed run routing in the future.
The graphics are great, the amount of things you can control is a lot, so much so that you just end up trying everything. Co-op mode feels a lot like Sonic 2 where Player 2 (Cappy / Tails) is OP and invincible and does all the work.
