Super Mario Odyssey is just awesome. It's so creative and made me genuinely laugh out loud a couple of times. It has so many funny and cute ideas. The gameplay might be too simple at times, but it also has really challenging parts. Furthermore, it has many nods to the history of classic Super Mario games, and it made me feel nostalgic. That made me really appreciate Mario more, since he was one of my first avatars in video games. And after years of not taking him as a serious character, I kinda felt apologetic towards Mario, as funny as that might sound…
Anyway, Super Mario Odyssey is a timeless game and also a great title for total newbies – even my gf likes it, even though she is a total non-gamer.
