¿Ya podemos decir qué este juego es muy inferior a Galaxy y 64? En jugabilidad, impecable, pero las lunas las reparten a lo wey, los bosses que aprovechan las transformaciones son maravillosos pero por desgracia no son muchos, y la mayoría de niveles no aprovechan las mecánicas implementadas en el juego.
En mí opinión, MUY olvidable experiencia, una secuela le hubiese caído genial

Honestly the most fun I've had with a 3D Mario game (though I need to replay galaxy to see my feelings on that) with fluid controls, epic music, fun visuals, and some pretty cool ideas. The fault with this game is being so forgiving and easy that it requires you to take breaks to deal with the sluggish boss fights that are usually the exact fight you did three levels ago, and while I'm all for easy games this is TOO easy, along with the issue of the more open maps checkpoints being a bit too spread out forcing you to run all the way back to where you were if you somehow manage to die to a floor hazard.
However the ability to take control of iconic enemies and use their abilities to traverse a level or solve puzzles is really fun and that's a massive reason I don't hate this game, add in the funny costumes and it's a good time.

As I go through my Switch catalog, I'm astounded by how quickly I devoured these first party games compared to the impression they left on me. 80+ hours in a little over two months to find 999 power moons. What a wonderful game.
Though I'll always have a soft spot for the Galaxy games, this one's no doubt the best 3D Mario as of yet. Kills me that they didn't add anything else to it besides Luigi's Balloon World, but hey. Stunning vistas with a built in camera mode, really took advantage of all the Switch's systems like HD rumble for those few moons, and a perfect level curve, especially with Dark and Darker side - those last few scarecrow Darker side ones were a blast. And the final challenge definitely fits the exquisite lineage of final 3D Mario levels.
Of course, there were some duds - all the Toadette moon (sorry, star) challenges really inflated the count, and some of the most obtuse moons were downright annoying (Thanks ProZD). Had to look up a few here and there, like that racecar one in New Donk, and it did get a bit formulaic in the side challenges in each kingdom - one main moon, one hidden moon.
Still, what a blast. The New Donk City sequence perfectly paced to give you a big semblance of a win in the middle of the story, and then the final escape sequence on the moon. Pure fun!

Two things in this world make me cry tears of joy. The ending of Tick... Tick... Boom, and the final song of this game. This game is brilliant in every single way, and is just such a joy to play. There's nothing more that can be said. This game is perfect, and I would honestly not change a thing. If the next 3D Mario is anything like this, then I think Nintendo has done something right.
Puede que Odyssey sea mi plataformas 3D favorito. El set de movimientos de Mario es sencillo pero versátil, los escenarios son amplios, bonitos y detallados, el estilo visual hace que las limitaciones de la Switch resulten casi irrelevantes y, sobre todo, resulta agradable buscar lunas en cada rincón. Ojalá encontrar más así.
