Super Mario Odyssey

There's a case to be made that Mario 64 never received a 'true' sequel until this game: Sunshine's FLUDD muddied the waters with its feature set; the Galaxy games cleverly eschewed large open worlds for impeccably crafted planetoids designed around specific gameplay elements, and 3D Land and 3D World were purposefully constrained with linear design to attract 2D Mario players into the third dimension.

Super Mario Odyssey was a welcome return to the sandbox style of Mario adventure that fans had hoped for since 1996, and it delivers everything you could want and more. Cappy's capture abilities keep things interesting in a game that combines a wide range of mechanics and art styles into an eerily coherent, compelling whole. It shouldn't work, but the mastery of its execution makes the realistic human-style inhabitants of New Donk City, the anthropomorphic cutlery of Luncheon Kingdom, and the big-eyed cute characters of Mario and his Mushroom Kingdom clan feel like they belong in the same game. Mario Odyssey is a truly remarkable entry in this most celebrated series, and it should be considered a must-have purchase whether you like Mario or not.
