  • Picked up Mario Odyssey, pretty much what I expected, very good 3D platformer. Only a few levels in but it's not really grabbing me.

    Could be just that 3D platformers are good for nostalgia and not much else to me. It's also not a great combo that it has low-value collectibles (coins) scattered everywhere and I'm a 'collect all the things!' type player, so I end up traversing empty levels after I've 'finished' it in search of low value tokens.

    Or it could be that it's the only other recent game I've played other than BotW, and it's just not as good. Will keep at it and see if it picks up at all. At least until the NYC-styled level, as that looks pretty cool.

  • You're not trying hard enough, it's a great game... I think I might prefer Super Mario 3D World but it's still amazing...

  • Completely agree, will continue with it for a while. Though I feel like I have to motivate myself to play it when BotW is there, still providing seemingly endless exploration after 90+ hours.

    On the BotW note, I hate to admit it, but the Korok seeds are an amazing idea. It's a great way to trick people into not going into auto-pilot mode when moving around the world. Granted, it needs to be paired with a well designed open world (something which many games completely fall flat on, I'm looking at you MGSV).

    The amount of times I've been going from A to B only to get completely side-tracked and forget about what I was originally planning on doing is ridiculous, in a good way.

    I think it's surpassed MGS3 in my favourite games of all time list.

  • So far, my favourite thing about it is this music:

    Still finding the gameplay decent, but nothing spectacular. 4 worlds complete, so let's see where it goes, here's hoping to more great music.
