So Super Mario Odyssey came out today. Anybody playing it?
I'm a couple of hours in (just beat the second boss in
and am doing cleanup). I gotta admit that I like it but don't love it so far. The controls feel weird, which is probably just because the Super Mario Sunshine controls are burned into my brain forever and these feel similar but not quite as zippy.
The game's MO seems to be "here's a zone, there's a basic structure where you beat several bosses to unlock the next zone, but there are *dozens and dozens* of Power Moons scattered absolutely everywhere if you're feeling completion-y". They're so common that you basically can't help but find several just walking in a straight line. Which is both good and bad. On one hand it makes it feel like you're just about always accomplishing something whenever you explore anywhere, but on the other hand they're not super exciting to find. I imagine it'll be both fun and frustrating to try to 100% this game since there are so many, but at least you unlock the ability to get hints to their locations in a few different ways once you get enough in a zone.
