Super Mario Odyssey is finally available on Nintendo Switch, and the reviews are unanimous. The game is excellent, masterful, and constitutes one of the best episodes of the adventures of the famous character. Unusual anecdote: the positive reviews are so numerous that the American site Metacritic planted throughout the evening of Thursday, October 26, 2017, crumbling under the declarations of love of the players.
It’s the big day. This Friday, October 27, 2017, the game Super Mario Odyssey is finally available on the Nintendo Switch console. The title marks the return of Mario on home console, 7 years after Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Wii and Wii U. Needless to say this game is one of the most anticipated on Nintendo Switch since the launch of the console. In fact, this is certainly one of the most anticipated games of 2017 across all platforms.
Super Mario Odyssey: the biggest American sites give it the highest rating
Suffice to say at the outset, the title keeps all its promises and Mario fans will clearly not be disappointed. Following the lifting of the embargo on super Mario Odyssey critics, the American website Metacritic, which has been critical of video games and other cultural content, has simply crashed. For good reason, the servers of the site could not bear the number of users wishing to declare their love for this new opus. Knowing that Metacritic is one of the biggest critical sites in the world, this funny anecdote heralds a smashing success for the new adventures of the mustachioed hero.
American journalists are also unanimous. The GameSpot website gave Super Mario Odyssey a score of 10/10, and considers the game to be even better than the legendary Super Mario 64 in every respect. For CNET, the title alone justifies the purchase of a Nintendo Switch. Giant Bomb also gave it a score of 5/5. IGN salutes the originality of this generational masterpiece and notes it 10/10. On Polygon, the game has a score of 9.5/10. As you will understand, Super Mario Odyssey is one of the best Mario of all time, and perhaps even one of the best video games ever created. A Nintendo Switch – Super Mario Odyssey pack is available.
