This has got to be my favorite Mario game of all time.
Mario odyssey by far has the best gameplay of any Mario game. There are so many options for moving around, jumping, attacking, and more. Cappy makes the game even better, as not only does he allow you to capture certain enemies, replacing power ups in this game, but he also makes your gameplay even more skilled, due to being able to jump on your cap. With this gameplay options, at some points you might just find yourself messing around with the controls, jumping and swinging from area to area like I do.
The game runs at a smooth 60 FPS, and the visuals are stunning. The landscapes in this game are incredibly detailed and interesting.
The soundtrack is fantastic, with awesome songs with a variety of different arrangements that combine to create songs that you're sure to come back to.
The story is pretty basic, but that's not a necessarily a bad thing due to being just a Mario game. There isn't anything wrong with the story either, it's just a lighthearted and fun story that ends with a pretty great ending.
What's great about this game is that it encourages the player to play how they want to play. You might go through some of the intended route on your first playthrough, but in future playthroughs you'll find yourself going through most of the game your way, which is really fun. Not to mention how replayable this game is. You will find countless of things to do both during and after you complete the main story, including many interesting side quests and several fun minigames.
Overall, this is an absolute masterpiece from start to finish. If you're planning on getting Switch or already have one, this is the game to get.
