Super Mario Odyssey 2017

Is it still worth playing?

Nintendo EPD's 2017 3D Mario platformer for the Nintendo Switch, directed by Kenta Motokura, with open ended levels in the style of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. Bowser kidnaps Peach to force a marriage, and Mario sets out with Cappy to stop him. There are 14 kingdoms, and Power Moons power the airship Odyssey, with each kingdom requiring a minimum number of Moons before you move on, which any objective can give. Cappy's capture ability lets Mario throw his cap to possess enemies and objects, for puzzles and getting around. The Dark Side needs 250 Power Moons and the Darker Side 500. A second player can control Cappy in local co-op, and an Assist Mode is optional. Today it works because you choose what to do toward the moon count, and capturing drives much of the level design.
