One of the best Mario titles in years. A little too short/easy for my taste, but it's so much fun.

At first glance this game looks like any other 3D Mario game. You can ground pound, triple jump, long jump, etc. The fun actually comes from the new mechanic introduced to this game. Thanks to your new buddy Cappy, Mario is able to actually "borrow" the bodies of the baddies, as well as other things in the environment (cactus, rock, pine tree, etc.). So, what's so interesting about taking control of an enemy's body? Well that's simple, you get to actually use whatever abilities they have! You see that bullet bill? How about flying around and crashing into blocks to reach new areas? Or how about those goomba over there! Try making a goomba tower to get that hard to reach power moon* (*which have replaced stars from Mario 64). The list goes on but I want people to be able to try things out for themselves and be surprised.
I would definitely recommend this game to anyone! I love this game as an adult, I can only imagine the reaction I would have if I was a child playing the game.
If you were on the fence about buying this game, do yourself a favor and just buy it. You won't regret it.
P.S. The story is, once again, bowser kidnaps peach... No award in storytelling or originality, but you won't even care.

Really a fun game. The amount of time spent exploring and finding the moons is well worth it. Really like the game mechanics and the way it plays. The only complaint is the camera angels at times and how it works in few places. Overall a really good game with a really fun gameplay.

I haven't been consumed by a Mario game in a long time. This game is pure magic. It's a bit quirky, and the mechanics (at first) can seem daunting, but it is just so much fun. I never thought purchasing clothes for Mario (with in game currency) would be so much fun. And changing into a TRex is a definite high point. If you have a Switch, buy this game, if you don't have a Switch, buy a Switch and then buy this game, it's that good.

My last time playing a large world Mario game was Mario 64. This one captures the same nostalgia I had for that game and it adds some fun and interesting ideas. A majority of the new features comes from Cappy your companion who allows you to control Mario's enemies.
All the maps I have played so far have been extremely vibrant and unique. There are also fun little side events where it goes back to the old 8-bit days.

Super Mario Odyssey is a must have game for the Switch. It's hard to put down, but easy to play in short bursts and really take advantage of the portability of the console. There's a lot to do, and it all controls relatively well, and has the polish expected of Nintendo. This feels like the return to Mario 64 and Sunshine that I'd personally been wanting for some time, with the Galaxy games not quite scratching that itch for me.

This game is amazing. As someone who prefers the open worlds of Mario 64 over the more linear Mario Galaxy games, this game is a breath of fresh air. I still give Mario 64 the edge since this game has much more exploration, but many people would say that's a plus as opposed to a negative. And even though I rate it as a negative, the game is still amazing, runs great in both handheld mode and TV mode, and it's 5 out of 5 for me.
