New Donk City, a New York City analogue, has the feel of a living world, right down to the rats that scurry past your feet near dumpsters, while the Seaside Kingdom’s Bubblaine made me long for a chance to lounge at a beach resort. It’s important to note just how beautiful “Super Mario Odyssey’s” kingdoms look. New Donk City is a standout among ‘Odyssey’s’ many quirky worlds. “Odyssey” focuses on the excitement of travel and discovering new locales, which pushes you to look into every nook and cranny of the game world to find its seemingly endless secret areas and items.įrom ancient islands with an enormous T-Rex that, yes, you can take over, to long-forgotten towns and beach resorts, Nintendo has managed to craft a game where each new kingdom feels unique unto itself.Įven the game’s maps are designed to look like travel brochures for the various worlds you visit complete with points of interest. The best looking ‘Mario’ game to-dateĪ strong sense of exploration permeates “Odyssey.” And that’s just how producer Yoshiaki Koizumi and director Kenta Motokura planned it. The motion controls worked well, but I preferred playing with the Joy-Con Grip, since it feels more like a traditional controller. Flick the controller in a different direction and Cappy will spin around you, clearing out any enemies that have surrounded you.
Flick the Joy-Con in one direction and Mario will toss Cappy. “Odyssey” also takes advantage of the Switch’s motion-sensitive Joy-Con controllers. You can also use Cappy as a floating stepping stone to reach distant platforms, or as a spring to jump up to out-of-the-way areas.
