11 Video Games That Will Define The Current Generation
2. Super Mario Odyssey
The most recently released game on the list, Super Mario Odyssey is Mario's latest 3D adventure. For many who grew up with the revolutionary Super Mario 64, Odyssey finally makes good on its predecessor's outstanding foundations, giving players the true spiritual sequel to 64 at last.
Oozing with creativity, character and downright joy, Super Mario Odyssey is the perfection of a twenty-year formula. It's a celebration of all things Mario, and the game is littered with numerous references to past Mario titles almost guaranteed to make longtime fans well up. Super Mario Odyssey sees the plucky plumber give chase to Bowser, who plans on marrying Peach once he's stolen several wedding-themed items from locations across the globe.
The more you put into Odyssey, the more you will receive. There's an almost endless number of Power Moons to collect, meaning that veering off the beaten path is always rewarding. Super Mario Odyssey rewards creative thinking and exploration better than perhaps any game with beautiful worlds, recognisable characters and a great soundtrack. Truly, this is wish fulfilment of the highest order for fans of Nintendo's mascot.
