Platformers are generally on the bottom of my list of enjoyable genres: they are, so frequently, narrow in design and objective, and all but the best games don't allow the flexible freedom of movement that makes simply walking and jumping a thrill. Odyssey is an exception in all regards, and one of the best games of the 2010s. The open world influence is refreshing, and Mario himself has never felt so much fun to command. Bring back the "pick up and play" ethos.
