Super Mario Odyssey Review

Every Nintendo Generation as of late has had an epic Super Mario adventure - 2 on the Wii! - so when Nintendo announces a Mario title, you assume it's the only one you'll get in the generation.

Odyssey spans the history of the whole series, from the 80s to today. And it is so, so good!

More Thoughts From Me #90: Mario’s Odyssey is Almost Here
