I've played this game for the first time in 2017. It's like nothing that I've seen in the previous 3D Mario games like Super Mario 64, Sunshine and the Galaxy series. Mario and Cappy are great as a new duo but Mario and Luigi are still my favorite duo. I loved all the outfits in the game and they keep adding new ones.
Who knows? One day there might be an announcement to a sequel of Super Mario Odyssey. Maybe. But this one is still my favorite.

This is the biggest Mario game I've ever played. It's a blender combination of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2. It has fantastic environments with graphics I'd never expect in a cartridge that's smaller than a DS cartridge.
Super Mario Odyssey is a great game and a good game for the Nintendo Switch. This was the first game I've ever gotten on the Nintendo Switch. It's so amazing to see how far Mario has come on his journeys. A excellent game for the Nintendo Switch.

Super Mario Odyssey has some of the best video game graphics I've ever seen, when I first got it I couldn't stop playing it.
My only complaint is it's way too hard at the end, but I won't stop trying.

This was a really good game, I really liked the graphics, the gameplay was fun and the whole idea of the player being able to take over creatures in the Mario series was a really good one. Although I really liked the idea of being able to take over creatures in the Mario series in my opinion there was to little times I actually felt as if I needed to relay on this game function, I also think that the story was a bit bland and I know this is a Mario game and it's supposed to be easy but I like a challenge in a game and in my opinion this is way to easy. So to sum it all upp Mario odyssey is a good game with a few flaws (in my opinion) :)

After 3 straight console failures from game cube, Wii and Wii U. When Nintendo Switch and the new gaming era rolled in, Super Mario Odyssey was one of the most hyped games. Yes they were excited for the 200th Mario game.
Yes. Another Mario game that consist of the same hash that he has been doing for the last 30 years. More jumping on mushrooms. Getting level ups, beating Bowser and saving the Caucasian princess.
This time though, Mario has a hat and the hat is alive.
Mario Oydessy is nothing special. If you played one Mario game then you played them all. When you have little brainwashed cousins, then you have to take advantage to play the game for free and thank a god for freebies because this game is not worth more than 10 dollars to say the least.
There really isn't anything good about this game. Sure I mentioned graphics but even mobile games with hash graphics are great games but this game is not a good game due to its history of having to do the same exact hash for over 30 years.
Last Words: Fanboys will like anything Nintedno makes. Even if they copy and paste the same game from Switch lite and place it on the Oled Switch Ninntendo fanboys will literally pretend to act like the game is a brand new game. Haha!

I must say, Nintendo really surprised with Super Mario Odyssey. I just love how unique and how much of a departure the game play is from its predecessors. For the first time ever in a 3D Mario game players can explore vast and complex 3D worlds. A truly open world experience backed up by the amazing Cappy mechanic Mario can posses various npc's, enemies, and even inanimate objects by throwing his hat. I believe the Cappy mechanic and vast open world to explore provides much needed depth to the Super Mario series.

Super Mario Odyssey is one of the best Mario games I played and a really good debut as a Nintendo Switch exclusive. It has been a really big addition as a video game icon featuring a greatly told story. It's about Mario saving Peach because she's about to be forced to get married by Bowser with a help with a Bonneter who transforms Mario into whatever the hat lands on. The gameplay makes the game fun to play. The characters, even the bosses, are very well developed. And the biggest highlight, amazingly crafted graphics. The game has featured beautiful background in some kingdoms and includes great looking textures. This is definitely worth playing for Nintendo fans and have played other 3D Mario games these years. This is an example of how Nintendo games can come out so great.

This has got to be my favorite Mario game of all time.
Mario odyssey by far has the best gameplay of any Mario game. There are so many options for moving around, jumping, attacking, and more. Cappy makes the game even better, as not only does he allow you to capture certain enemies, replacing power ups in this game, but he also makes your gameplay even more skilled, due to being able to jump on your cap. With this gameplay options, at some points you might just find yourself messing around with the controls, jumping and swinging from area to area like I do.
The game runs at a smooth 60 FPS, and the visuals are stunning. The landscapes in this game are incredibly detailed and interesting.
The soundtrack is fantastic, with awesome songs with a variety of different arrangements that combine to create songs that you're sure to come back to.
The story is pretty basic, but that's not a necessarily a bad thing due to being just a Mario game. There isn't anything wrong with the story either, it's just a lighthearted and fun story that ends with a pretty great ending.
What's great about this game is that it encourages the player to play how they want to play. You might go through some of the intended route on your first playthrough, but in future playthroughs you'll find yourself going through most of the game your way, which is really fun. Not to mention how replayable this game is. You will find countless of things to do both during and after you complete the main story, including many interesting side quests and several fun minigames.
Overall, this is an absolute masterpiece from start to finish. If you're planning on getting Switch or already have one, this is the game to get.

Mario odyssey is ok for a Mario game. It is in no way even close to as good as either of the Galaxy games, but it is pretty fun.

Now that everybody either had a good laugh or disliked this, Oddysey is the (almost) perfect game everybody praises it to be.
My only problem is that the post game has very little to offer, making moon collecting feel like a chore, though that could just be me.

As said by critic Armond White, Mario is a director who achieves the impossible while botching the basics. No more is that true than with Super Mario Odyssey. While it is much better than the previous film The Phantom Menace, it still is very flawed.
The acting is often criticized as well as the dialogue, however the real problem is the combination of the two. The style of dialogue that Mario wrote requires a certain kind of actor, and he miscast many of the roles. As proof you can see that while the dialogue sounds unnatural and emotionless from Natalie Portman, one of the most accomplished actresses in cinema, it works perfectly from Christopher Lee. The casting is the problem, not the dialogue or the acting.
The visuals are also a weak point with mediocre cinematography that's a massive step down from the original trilogy, and distractingly bad CGI.
However the film gets a lot right.
The music is incredible as always, and it really is what sells the whole film, even with its flaws.
The worlds of Mario are engaging and interesting and full of atmosphere as always.
But of course the most important part of movies is the story. The immediate story of the film, the storylines that begin at the beginning and end at the end of this film, are fairly mediocre. Somewhat entertaining but fundamental structure flaws prevent it from being something great. It's the overarching story of the 6 films that is what works in this film. The story of the 6 Mario films is one of the greatest stories ever put to the screen, and this film is a crucial part in that.
There is no other word for the film than a mixed bag. At its worst, it can be incredibly boring and frustrating to watch. Throughout most of the film it's just mediocre. But at it's best, it's very good. Overall it's pretty good and definitely worth a watch.

I played video games before Mario Odyssey came out, but this was the game that made me love Mario! I played this time and time again when I was younger, and I loved playing it now. I decided to go back through some of the big switch games, because the next console is soon to be announced, then released. I couldn't have started this Switch run through without Mario Odyssey. I love the gameplay of it, and it has a great story for a Mario game. There are certain story beats throughout the main game, but by the end, that when I realized that I've taken them for granted. The bond that Cappy and Mario build is surprisingly great. After that fight with Bowser, it made me look back on the journey, and reflect on the adventure it took me to get here.

This game is very good, but it is long and boring. The super mario odyssey is very unanimous.
Super Mario Odyssey and Galaxy 1 are the only 3D Mario games I have, but I have only finished Odyssey right now, although with plans to finish Galaxy. It is a fantastic game, if not in my objective opinion the number 1 reason why videogames still rock even if we are not in the best decade or generation, because Nintendo made yet another special game that I will remember for years to come and play again. The graphics are gorgeous for a Nintendo game, the level design is really well done with minigames that are very fun, amazing use of color and atmosphere and a sense of little but great exploration. The soundtrack is great, especially Jump up, Super Star, or even the theme Fossil Falls. The gameplay is at its best in the Mario series, the movement and controls and Cappy are so fun and masterful to play with. Mario can be controlled in so many ways (jumping with the hat, rolling, triple jump...) and using Cappy is a joy (you can play with almost anything Mario captures and becomes), the bosses (despite feeling a little repetitive) are memorable and fun to fight against and always present new challenges, you can even use coins and purple coins to buy awesome outfits for Mario and buy stuff to make your ship the Odyssey more decorated. It is a love letter to the games that made Mario what it is today, plus lots of replayability for collecting more Power Moons after beating the story. 100% recommended to those who have or want a Nintendo Switch.

As my first game on the Nintendo Switch and my first Mario game since GameCube, Mario Odyssey was a great way to get a feel for a new console. It has a lot of different movement mechanics which are a little tricky to get the hang of, but fun to feel yourself improving with. Each zone has a unique theme and enemies that can be controlled with marios hat and I cant say there's really a weak level in the game. The best one for me was definitely the Metro.
Few games have this much variety in their gameplay, but the game also never goes too far in depth with any of these ideas. There will be many areas, mechanics, and techniques that few people will even use, and again, its definitely a game that feels rewarding to improve with. That said, the overall challenge in Mario Odyssey is very low, and because of this I wasn't compelled to go any further after completing the game once. This is an EASY game to complete, and there is basically no penalty for dying. This game has a target audience that still keeps the franchise alive, but at the same Mario is not doing anything to innovate or push the industry forward in any big way.
Mario Odyssey is a great game for the Nintendo Switch, but you have to realize that when you compare mario games to other triple A games throughout gaming and the top games on PlayStation and PC, it really is NOT anything special or earth shattering like its many fanboys insist that it is. Mario and Nintendo as a company only survive inside their own vaccum. Mario Odyssey is a great game in its own right, but it simply is not the industry icon it used to be. For me, a video game doesn't receive a perfect score just because it doesn't make any mistakes. It needs to be setting bars and expectations for other games. Neither Odyssey nor the Mario franchise are doing that. Nintendo is making good games that enough people enjoy. Thats it.
