Odyssey gives Mario great freedom of movement; the controls and movement are excellently done. The biggest problem is that many of the moons are tedious to get or are simply uninteresting to get. A vast majority of the worlds don't build on their unique mechanics or strengths enough to make them satisfying. The game has a great look and is clearly well-polished, along with some great music as well.

An amazing, epic adventure filled to the brim with charm. So many nods to its history. Loved the 8 bit throwback pieces and that New Donk City moment with Jump Up Superstar is pure magic. This game oozes joy with so many fun moments capturing enemies & using their unique powers to progress. If you own a Switch this game needs to be in your library.

Mario Odyssey is one of the best feeling games ever made. Mario controls in a manner that’s responsive and, more importantly, works harmoniously with the level design.
Speaking of, the level design is great. Every level is built with Mario’s abilities in mind and comes up with countless ways to test them. Unfortunately, the level theming is more of a mixed bag. Some level themes perfectly capture the same wondrous spirit as Mario himself, such as one that is set in a world made entirely of good. However, many worlds struggle with an odd, clashing art-style.
Beyond this, the challenges Mario faces are wildly inconsistent. Some are incredibly clever and satisfying, with well created platforming and engaging gimmicks. Others are repetitive and bland filler, likely included due to the portable nature of the switch requiring a feeling of accomplishment in even the shortest of play sessions. For example, one challenge is literally just to look at a cab in the sky. Wait, I misspoke. It’s not just one challenge. This challenge is copy and pasted all throughout the game, appearing at least three times. This devalues every other challenge and makes the game ******eaply engaging, even when it has some of the richest and most refined content ever made.
The best example of these pros and cons is the level New Donk City. The level is a spectacular platforming playground, with stunning level design that’s engaging even with basically no enemies. However, it takes place in a… realistic city? With humans and everything. It’s such a blatant clash with the design of Mario and the collectibles that it feels wrong. And the challenges, while brilliant, also include riveting experiences like… sitting on a bench. That’s it.
Mario Odyssey is similar to Breath of the Wild. It is one of the best games ever made hampered by a need to be constantly giving a Lyle stream of dopamine, resulting in nothing particularly standing out. This is a 10/10 game padded out with 5/10 filler content.

I really enjoyed my time with this game. I played it 6 years after release without any bias. It is a fantastic 3D platformer, possibly one of the best ever. Cappy takes this game up a notch with the capture ability. The levels are fantastic. Enemy variety is phenomenal. It’s a little short, but for me that’s preferred. Some may like to spend more time with it.
