Johnknight1 Super Mario Odyssey Review
Feb 6, 2026
After playing Super Mario 64 for the first time in 1996, Odyssey is the first 3D Mario game to scratch that same itch. The movement in this game is so intuitive, deep and challenging, and it all feels so natural and smart. The kingdoms are largely very memorable, and Mario and his new pal Cappy have so many fun ways to collect Moons.
This is probably the greatest 3D collectathon platform game ever made. It plays like a beautiful marriage of Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie, and all these years later it is still amazing to see what this game achieved. Every time I come back to this game it puts a smile on my face, and I feel like I did when I was 3, playing my first video game, Super Mario Bros. 3, all over again.
I recommend this game to any and everyone. This would be a great first video game for anyone.
