The Mario series will always be the king when it comes to the platforming genre - the series presents so many different ideas and innovations with each passing game and Mario Odyssey the game that truly marks the series as one of the greats of all time.
Mario Odyssey can only be described as a dream - it is everything you’d want from a video game and more. It’s innovative, fun, and creative with 0 bullshit or padding leaving you with a nonstop consistent journey that stays with you even after the credits roll. The content is fantastic and the actual movement is some of the best ever; Mario is so satisfying to control and there are no limits as to how the game can be played. The movement compliments the structure heavily, as both hold no restrictions on the player whatsoever. The worlds are large and vast, each having their own identities and stories to tell just from exploration alone. But that’s besides the point, the point here is the structure within each world: Mario Odyssey gives the player so much freedom to experiment with a large array of options when it comes to tackling it’s insanely large amount of content. Think of a roller coaster that just never stops and with each turn and bump comes a brand new idea and you get one of the most fun games to ever be made.
This is the fifth or sixth time I’ve played this game, with two hundred hours clocked into it. I’ve dug my teeth so far into this game that it’s basically become a part of me, and I’m so glad that it is. Mario Odyssey is a once in a lifetime experience that can never be replicated ever again - a true modern classic.
