Super Mario Odyssey is another gem in the Switch library. Varied, funny, cute and unbelievably addictive. This game could be an ideal platformer, but uninspiring boss battles and heavy emphasis on collecting items after the main story prevent SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY from the perfect score.

Super Mario Odyssey is a festival of all the best stuff put together. All the parts fit in so perfectly that the final picture becomes one of the most epic and memorable adventures of Mario. No game is without its fault but Odyssey is many steps ahead of any game out there that any negativity is covered by its sheer excellence. Alongside Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey is probably the only game worth spending 300 Dollars on So if you're ready to pay up, Don't even doubt buying one of the greatest games of all time.

Super Mario Odyssey may not reinvent the Mario formula, but it is a supremely satisfying adventure with a plethora of content and a penchant for the zany. This is a must own for Switch owners and fans of platforming.

If you're a Switch owner, you probably already have Super Mario Odyssey. If you do not, and you even remotely enjoy platformers or Mario, I don't know what you are waiting for – pick up this game.

The Nintendo Switch title has slick controls, amazing visuals and a charm (there's that word again) that I haven't come across before. The story is simple but supplemented with a large cast of new characters and worlds that expand the Mario Universe in a way that, hopefully, Nintendo can expand on for years to come. It's accessible for younger players and challenging enough for veterans.

Whether it is or it isn’t GOTY, it’s undeniably a charming platformer that ultimately deletes all of the frustrations we’ve had with Nintendo over the past couple of years, and is one of the best games of 2017.

I love Super Mario Odyssey, but it isn't flawless. The kingdoms are mostly open and varied, and they encourage fun exploration. However, the main story and beginning of the game are a bit of a letdown. The postgame is where experienced players will find the most enjoyment. This is not the best Mario title, but it pushes Mario in a new and refreshing direction, and it may even develop into a Switch evergreen. There are plenty of things that I'd like to see rectified in the inevitable sequel.

Take the freedom of exploring every corner as you did in Mario 64 and Sunshine, add the skill and precision required by Super Mario Galaxy and the variety of 3D World, and you'll get the huge Super Mario Odyssey, the celebration of the videogame itself, not just of the firm's mascotte.

2017's Game Of The Year just got a new contender, Super Mario Odyssey IS exactly what I wanted and then some. The hype usually can not keep up with a video game but Super Mario Odyssey not only keeps up with the hype, it has passed it, and has gone way beyond my expectations. Sure there's some minor issues that I had with the game, but it never once made the game any worse for me. I couldn't put down Super Mario Odyssey and I'm kind of sad that I have to write this review right now because I want to get back to the world of Super Mario Odyssey that much! Look out other GOTY contenders, it looks like Mario has just entered the game.

The wait is over; the pinnacle of 3D adventures has arrived in the form of Super Mario Odyssey. It beggars belief just how much Nintendo has packed into this latest outing, without compromising the core Mario goodness of the past. Just as with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the Mario series has now reached a special new level of greatness that will be hard to surpass in the future. The Nintendo Switch is fast becoming the hottest platform, crammed full of sublime quality gaming experiences like this fantastic new escapade.

I'd usually count myself a completionist who's only goal is to earn every single achievement possible, but Super Mario Odyssey showed me that there's so much more to it than collecting things.

Super Mario Odyssey is full of innovative gameplay and original levels that it easily can eat up your time. The story simply serves as a goal for the player but the in-game introduction of new platforming action that constantly created unexpected mechanics filled me with joy and excitement.

‎The main adventure is a bit on the short side and some Kingdoms only get going during the post-game. Although there is still plenty to do after you have finished the story, we can fully understand that not every gamer wants to finish the game for the full 100 percent. But this shouldn't spoil the fun, because what Super Mario offers is simply fun from the beginning to the end.‎
