General Commentary and Game Overview
The following review is of my opinion. Please do not take it personal.

Super Mario: Odyssey. Wow. What a game. This was awesome. Hard as hell sometimes but a gem among the fan games at this site. And finally I beat it. Yes, everyday, I played this game until I beat it. Woo. I wonder if the other stories will be based on SMB2, SM64 or even SM World. (Not SMB 3 xD)
That aside, this was great however, here's the continuation of my honest opinion.
 
Pros Epic remixes
Epic retelling
Not just a generic remake
Good ending
Looking forward to more.
 
Cons Levels are way too long. If you die, and have to start 2 maps back, you lose the motivation to play sometimes.
Luigi's bad physics.
 
Impressions
Gameplay
7 / 10
Gameplay is like any Mario game. Get to the end flag to beat the level. Nuff said. A lot of levels were wayyyyy too long and brutal. Ugh, that's kind of what I didn't like about this game. Was the level length. Not saying it's a bad thing but instead of enjoying the level, I end up hoping I make it to a checkpoint without dying and sending me all the way back to the beginning of the level. And that was for every level. Kudos to the levels that had multiple check points Including the final.

Mario's game play was normal. Luigi's game play sucked. His physics were jacked up.

NOTE: THE OWNER OBVIOUSLY did not test secret world 1-2. At the end with the spring board, no matter what, I could not get up there. Big letdown :/
 
Graphics
7 / 10
Graphics were nice. From super mario 1 and a few others.
 
Sound
10 / 10
Music was beast. I especially loved the 1-4 castle remix, SM64 dark world (when you're making to Kamek), and a few others. This cannot get any lower than a 10.
 
Replay
9 / 10
Hell yes. I'm curious about the stuff that I unlocked. This game was obviously made to be re-playable.
 
Final Words
8 / 10
This game is very good but it is indeed overrated. With brutally long levels and sometimes unfair level design. And bad Luigi physics making him pretty much unplayable on harder stages. Nevertheless I still Recommend it but it's not the greatest -- pssh, can't wait for Chapter 2!

Luigi's graphics are intended to be like that. In SMB2J they were the exact same: slippery and floaty.

Which ruined the enjoyment of Luigi. I think he should've just stuck with a power jump for him.
