    A bit unfocused, but very enjoyable

    With every new, full-fledged 3D Mario game comes a certain set of expectations, and those are generally that it’s going to be one of the generation’s highlights. Ever since Nintendo changed the face of Mario... Read Full Review

    Super Mario Odyssey soars as one of the best games I have played in a long time.

    It has been over five years since Super Mario Odyssey was released on the Nintendo Switch. As a gamer who got my Switch OLED last year (2021), it took me nearly a year to play this game. For the most part, it was because... Read Full Review

    Finally a Mario game with some style.

    This is the final stop on my marathon. I was hyped to play this game when it was released. Snatched a copy right on launch day. It was almost 10 years since the last full blown 3D Mario game, Galaxy 2. My first playthro... Read Full Review

    Its the Heckin Mario You Needed

    It's been said before, but this game is the closest Nintendo has come to recreating the feeling many had playing Super Mario 64 in the 90's. Having just explored Super Mario 3D All Stars, the original inspiration can fe... Read Full Review

    My favorite video game of all time.

    Nintendo...you went and did it. You did what we wanted you to do, and then some. You went back to the more open style of 3D "Super Mario" games that was popularized by "Super Mario 64" and "Super Mario Sunshine," and the... Read Full Review

    A perfect game with an insane amount of variety

    Nintendo always has a knack for making one huge innovation to their franchises per console cycle and the Switch is no exception. Odyssey is a well-crafted game taking many years of experience and gameplay honing and crea... Read Full Review

    Mario Does it Flawlessly

    I'm a big fan of the 3D Mario games and every year or so we get another amazing installment in the series. Some years go even a step further (Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy 2) and that is exactly the case with... Read Full Review

    Babyish gameplay empty levels zero synergy (play control) between Mario and enemies (again)

    I hate the fact that Mario still controls haphazardly after all these years... lacking tight controls it's still a pain to get a bead on a small group of Goombas. There is no rhyme or reason to the play control. It's ... Read Full Review

    The First Great Mario Game for the Switch

    The only negative i can think about this game is that it is not the most replayable game ever, but the play getting there is fantastic. Exploring the wide worlds is reminiscent of Super Mario 64, and there are tons of se... Read Full Review
