- Genius use of the new Cappy gameplay mechanic
- The standout game for the Nintendo Switch
Cons:
- Er
- That you'll have no time to tend to anything else in your life because Mario is so darn near-perfect

Review: Super Mario Odyssey
Mario has never been slicker to control ... it can become a thing of pure joy just to hurtle Mario around levels exploring and finding power moons at your own pace It is fair to say that the Nintendo Switch's first seven months have been better than anyone expected.

- Some open world aspects don't work as well as they should
- Boring story
- even for a Mario game
- Too easy to reach the credits
- Missing that Nintendo magic and soul
