Super Mario Odyssey for Nintendo Switch is SO GOOD!!

It's about as open world as you can get with a Mario game, and each world is different and unique.

There's more moves and interesting things in it than I've ever seen in a Mario game too. The camera is 360 plus up and down tilting, making it easy to see whatever you need to see.

The graphics are beautiful, and I love the feature that allows you to become a lot of different things. Toss your hat at something and either it flies off leaving coins behind, busts into a bunch of pieces and gives coins, you kill it, or you actually become the thing!

Which means...

🦖 YOU GET TO BE A DINOSAUR!! 🦖

The outfit changes add to the uniqueness of the surroundings, and the stark contrast between worlds kinda throws you for a minute in a good way.

My only complaint is I'm about to beat it today after only 1-1/2 weeks of casual play. I wish it was longer and harder, but I usually get through games quickly, so I can't call it a big complaint.



My dream game would be about 50 times longer and have various difficulty levels, but I really can't fault this game for that.

And did I mention 🦖 YOU GET TO BE A DINOSAUR!! 🦖



I'm going to do a second play-through to catch whatever I missed the first time around and also to sit back and enjoy the graphics more.

This game plays as something that I wouldn't mind going back to frequently. And that's unusual for me. Usually once I've beaten something, I'm done unless there are mods.

If I had to choose between Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario 3D World/Bowser's Fury I would pick Odyssey hands down!

Not that Mario 3D is bad, but the entire atmosphere of Odyssey is so unusual and it's this wonderful mashup of an open world RPG and a Mario game!
