Having now seen all there is to see I have to say it's a brilliant game. Not quite up there with the Galaxies perhaps, but it tops 64 and Sunshine and is definitely the most giving Mario game. Do something well - the game rewards you, reach a difficult-to-get-to spot - it rewards you, pull off a neat combo - it rewards you. And I like that. That's what good games should do. A very special game, and one of my favourite games of all time.

I've been keeping this to just an hour or so before work each morning so I don't lose momentum on other stuff. Without the rush to see every world I'm taking my time to milk each open one, currently only at 40 Moons but still combing the initial cloud area the game starts at. Going back to it, hot damn, it's so much better than BOTW to play, easily NS's best game of its first year.

I spent the whole of day one getting around 65 moons on the desert level, then cashing them all in at the same time. That was my favourite day of gaming from last year.

Originally posted by gamelife View PostI enjoyed my time with Odyssey, but it's not topping Mario World, Mario 64, Galaxy...mostly too easy and most of the moons were forgettable and repetitive. Zelda BOTW was a triumph, this not so much
Comparison with the other 3D Marios? Sure and there is definitely a debate to be had as to where it ranks alongside 64/Sunshine/Galaxy/Galaxy 2 (probably moreso the Galaxy games than 64 & Sunshine if we're honest).
In all fairness, BOTW, for all of its undoubted quality, is far, far more repetitive than Odyssey.

I just felt that Odyssey lacked the polish of older Mario titles. a lot of the stuff felt tacked on, the cubes (extra levels) at the end just felt like an afterthought than something that was meant to be part of the game. very repetitive moons. Defo my worst 3d Mario after Sunshine. I'd play Zelda again easy but not this
