Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game is so much fun! It's difficult enough to be a good challenge but not so hard that it's frustrating. Nintendo consistently makes games that walk the line between chaos and finely-tuned control. The mechanics are perfectly balanced and the game has so many fun little features and details. This is a nigh-perfect game that provides hours and hours of gameplay.

I have an Xbox 1, 3ds, Nintendo switch, nes classic and snes classic. I mention this because despite having all of those platforms Mario odyssey might be my favorite game to play all year. I play a range of games, from sports to cod, batman to Tetris and have no bias to Nintendo. The game is fun, beautiful, and the concept of taking control of the environment and creatures is so much fun. Do yourself a favor and buy this game right now.

Best Mario game ever. Awesome gameplay. Very long replay value.

Best Looking Mario game on switch, the detail and play of this game make it worth every penny it’s fun yet not to complex but also not at all boring. Story is pretty good and similar to the Mario movie. Recommend!

Mario Odyssey, despite being a title I mistype 90% of the time, is the true successor to Mario 64. Personally, I've always been in that fringe of people who weren't huge fans of the Galaxy games. I found them a bit too linear, and bit too cumbersome to play as a result of the Wii being the Wii. On the other hand, I loved Sunshine. I loved 64. Because these games had great movement, jumping, spinning, going fast, going high, all of it felt great and they're still replayable to this day in a way the Galaxy games or even 3D World aren't. There always seemed to be something new to figure out or something that I thought maybe no one else had discovered (of course they had, this is the internet). A special sense of exploration that's been missing until Odyssey. Finally, Nintendo has brought back movement being an art form in Mario. Varied kingdoms and an ocean of moons to collect. Odyssey is probably the beefiest Mario there's ever been. It isn't perfect, the difficulty curve is a bit too flat until some end game stuff, which in all honesty makes the main story pretty short. Around 8 hours or so. The overabundance of moons sort of detracts from the value of doing hard challenges for them. Of course, that won't stop people like me from making a challenge of the game via speedrunning, or self-imposed challenges of some variety. The game is just fun to move around in, so making my own fun is least the challenging thing in the game. Even without those challenges, there's at least 30 hours of content to truly get 100%. Odyssey deserves it's spot on the shockingly long list of Game of the Year 2017 contenders. Nintendo continues to make Switch's first year incredible. Keep up the momentum.

It's a good way to learn the switch. Fun worlds to explore and great graphics.

Fantastic game, loads of stuff to collect and plenty challenging enough for a quick run through an area. Good laughs and set design on each planet along with costume changes that are purely cosmetic (unless you're unlocking further progress, but still.) Not recommended to play on a switch lite due to the joycon twirls being pretty useful but it can be done.

Wow. Nintendo is pulling out all the stops. This game is absolutely incredible. The best Mario game since Super Mario 64, which I also hold in high esteem. This one pulls on the nostalgia strings while adding so much creativity in gameplay and level design. May be on the difficult end for younger players, but still has a lot to offer for a wide variety of ages. Co-op looks like it'd be fun, but I don't know if I can convince my wife to play.

Hours of fun! I like the option of two player. However I wish two player was actually two players. Instead one player is the hat and the other player is Mario. It can get close to impossible to play with two players if you don't work together and communicate. This is basically a one player game. Kids don't work that well together when playing a video game.

It's amazing. The next great Mario adventure had arrived. That's all there is to it..... they really know how to up the Annie at nintendo.... it's a little hard for the little ones to really grasp, so it's probably a good idea to sit with them and assist some of they're 7 years or younger id say... kinda tricky is all. Still super easy to play overall.

Amazing as expected Mario always comes through Kids enjoyed as well and new open world concept is neat

This is one of the best games I have ever played and I've been gaming since the NES back in the very early 90s as a 4 year old. This lives up to the hype and having to wait so many years in between Mario games has always been worth it. I'm more excited to play the game every time I pick it up than I was the last time. It's that good of a game. Great mechanics, great game play and graphic and a bunch of great nods to the classic Mario games.

Ever since I got my Nintendo Switch and finished Zelda, I've been waiting for SMO to come out. Once I got my hands on the game and dove in, I was completely blown away by how amazing it was! The graphics, the control, the ability to stop in the middle of the game to take care of things and jump right back in. I loved Mario 64, and this game takes everything amazing about that game, intensifies it, and gives it a nice polish for this generation

This Mario game just keeps giving and giving! Once you beat the game there is SO much more to explore!!

Beautiful graphics. Fun for Young and old. I bought this for my son but I enjoy it as much as he does!

This game is surprisingly fun. There are so many iterations of Mario, but this adventure is unique. Graphics and concept are super cool. The adventure game play in the different worlds are really clever. Only downside is that is is a fairly easy game to beat. The "2nd player" capability of Cappy isn't really a multiplayer feature - it's pretty much a single player game with the hat being able to take out some mushrooms. Still fun.

This is a game in the Mario franchise that is a lot of fun. The kids spent a lot of time playing this and enjoyed the different areas of the map.

I have played about 10 hours and I'm really enjoying this game. It has an open game feel that allows you to choose to an extend how you want to play...very fast or slow exploring mode. I like how the amiibos are incorporated into the game too. Amiibos will do minor hings, such as skin/costume changes to giving coins or hearts. The mechanics are smooth and polished as you would expect from a Mario franchise game. A must for any Switch player.

An open world Mario game. One of the best Switch games around. It's Mario and the gang at their best

I love open world games. This is fun for me and my 8 yr old. It’s actually hers but I enjoy it as well.
