Let's play a game. Guess how much this reviewer scored Odyssey:

Though a really neat game, Super Mario Odyssey is an utterly underwhelming adventure for every long-term Super Mario fan in existence. Unless Cappy brainwashed you. In that case, you are a satisfied zombie customer now. No, seriously, only a zombie would find a healthy challenge in this pleasant but disappointingly easy Super Mario Walk-in-the-park. Sorry - Odyssey.

Edit: someone already posted it

But yeah, that's my problem with game reviews/reviewers. They don't know how to be harsh.

You're late Sal, we've already been discussing this scrub's review! > : (

Either they chose the worst paragraph of the review, either it's badly written, from a writer's perspective.

Once I read that, I thought that he'd score the game with a 3/4 or something like that XD. I find that sentence utterly disgusting though. Unless I'm getting it wrong, but I can't access to the whole review.

It seems like definitely is 95+. :)

I was just using Zelda as an example, seeing as it's the only game quality-wise this year which is comparable to Mario Odyssey; and also since it's the most obvious and controversial topic this year in regards to review scores, especially Nintendo.

Don't be obtuse.

Holy fuck!!!

Switch Just got 2 10/10 scores from many reviewers in less than 1 year!!!!!! 

You can do that with regular controls though, the right stick curves your punches. I assume the right stick would be used to control cappy in a similar fashion.

Yep. That was just clickbait. Every time a game with universal acclaim is launched, a  few individuals will do that.

I enjoyed Mario 2 (Doki Doki Panic), Mario 3, Super Mario World, and Mario 64. Then I got tired of it and started looking at other games critically. 2D Mario games have only continued to show me that side-scrolling Mario works for a bit before getting boring. 3D Mario games have shown me that Nintendo considers one new twist in each game is sufficient. The water cannon in Sunshine, silly gravity in both Galaxy games, and now a hat that can hijack NPCs. While Odyssey has the best new mechanic with the most variations of usage, it just doesn't do anything for me.

It might be because I look at Mario and see him as a racist relic from the past. While he's not as racist as black face or something, I still can't help but feel people would be upset if I made a protagonist out of a short and stout Mexican in work clothes named Pablo Pablo and game him the ability to jump really high and swim really fast as he eats mushrooms and flowers...
