Super Mario Odyssey
In several ways, Super Mario Odyssey seems too eager to please. The game's basic storyline-Mario must rescue Princess Peach from Bowser-remains obligatorily familiar, no doubt to avoid ticking off a legion of traditionalists.

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.
Pros:
- It's classic Mario
- Mario's never controlled better
- Beautiful worlds
- Incredible title song
- A genuinely great game
Cons:
- Doesn't live up to previous Mario greats
- 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

Mario's first turn on the Switch is fun, but lacks the innovation and creativity of Nintendo's best.

- Well-polished gameplay
- Endgame provides great puzzle variety
- Full of fun details
- nods to past games
- Highly accessible for new players
Cons:
- Often feels somewhat simplistic
- Not as innovative as other Mario games
- Controls and camera can be imprecise
- frustrating

Great for kids
This game has been so good for my kids especially the younger ones. It is an appropriate game for all ages even us parents have fun.

The King of platform games gets back to basics.
The story this time around is beyond absurd with a race of sentient hats, but we are talking about a plumber going after a giant turtle to save a princess here, so all bets are off. It's best to turn the brain off as what always matters in Mario is the gameplay.

Great game
Great addition to the Mario Bros franchise. Harkens back to the older days while still bringing a fresh new take, both my step-son and I love to play it together!!

Super Mario Odyssey
I am thankful I had enough money to purchase Super Mario Odyssey after the failures of the PR and Marketing for Nintendo. Hopefully you read my preview of Super Mario Odyssey that has been online since the end of November.

Super Mario Odyssey review (NS)
Super Mario Odyssey is arguably the ideal showpiece for the Nintendo Switch hardware. Whenever I play it, I start to believe that if there's anything truly important a game must accomplish during this console generation, the Switch platform and capable software developers can deliver it in spite of...

Super Mario Odyssey review: controlling a sentient hat has never been so fun
I n life, a few things are inevitable: death, taxes and the continual kidnapping of Princess Peach. But after more than 30 years of at least one new Mario adventure per Nintendo console, it helps to have a feature that differentiates the latest from the last.

Super Mario Odyssey Review – Beyond My Wildest Imagination
Super Mario 64 was one of the first games that I truly got into growing up. It taught me a sense of discovery and I've no doubt put in 100s of hours into the game over the years and still manage to discover things that I've never seen before.
