This game is fighting with itself on whether it wants to be a gut wrenching tragedy or the most middling slice of life trope filled anime ever. This games highs are extremely high, but the lows are comically low. The gameplay itself is really fun, but that's only after watching youtube tutorials on how to properly play the game. The in-game tutorials actively lie to you and give you horrible advice. I want to like this game, but the cliche anime humor and filler ruins it for me. I love the world and characters with all of my heart, but the story overall just isn't good. The absolutely phenomenal endgame does not excuse chapters 2 and 4, and the many other smaller moments where the game fails at comedy.

One of the best 3D platformers to date, if not the best. Odyssey has the best movement out of any video game I've ever played. Doing ground pound dives into cap jumps to access secret areas and shortcuts is so fun! This game has high replay value! The worlds are vibrant, the enemies are unique, and a lot of the missions are memorable! You can't go wrong with this game! I do think that this game is a little bit bloated, but most of the collectables are completely optional so it's not a real issue. This game is a must play!

To be honest, this game and Breath of the Wild are interchangeable to me. While TotK is amazing and even more breathtaking than BotW, it just feels like an expansion to BotW, rather than a sequel. Most of the game just has you doing the same stuff you already did in BotW. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love this game, and I love the depths and the new areas that adds, but I was expecting a bit more out of a sequel. I still love this game and recommend it to anyone who loves BotW.

This would be the definitive version of the game if the physics weren't messed up. Turning in the air is awful, side flips are useless, wall jumps are almost useless. They took some of the best movement in gaming and absolutely ruined it.
The improved graphics are really good and the new characters are (mostly) fun! That being said, the downgrade in controls and physics is not worth the extra content. Stick with the N64 version.
