The review for the new Mario is breathlessly overwhelming, with some of the quotes from the review stating that: “Odyssey already feels like the spiritual successor to Mario 64 we never quite got, before a thrilling final throwback. [It]Â is a new entry in a long running series that belies its age with sprightly invention, taking big risks with an established formula and having them all pay off handsomely.”
In case you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the full trailer for the game, which will be released on the Nintendo Switch on Friday 27 October.
