In retrospect, Odyssey is such an peculiar continuation of the beloved series. We're all aware of the perfect game play formula mastered once more that almost every Mario game seems to hit, but it's evolution to this point is interesting. It takes many wild risks compared to its former, more tame entry, 3D World, yet still has a much more lighthearted and grounded feeling than the Galaxy series. It equates to a surprisingly fresh and sprawling adventure that teems with pure enjoyment and fun. It's a shining example while I'll always consider Mario the king of videogames, and I can't wait to see how this same attitude is addressed in a sequel.
