Dunkey talking normally: "SpAgHeTtI aNd mEaTbAlLs!!!" Dunkey talking about Mario: "Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate."
I went out and bought one an hour after this video premiered, without so much as thinking of getting a Switch or caring about the Switch when I first started watching. It's now my favorite device.
I'm here doing exactly that because my son is downstairs discovering this game for the first time and hearing his little shouts of glee are reminding me of my own playthrough, and that brought me back to this review that made me buy the console and the game.
Bob Ross won't matter. Nintendo fans won't recognize games flaws . Only 100% absolute praise. If you don't like the game entirely you are either 1) not a Mario/ Nintendo fan with nostalgia 2) game just "isn't for you" 3) a Nintendo hater. I really dislike how they force the flick controls with the game. You can only do those actions with shaking the controller. Really sucky when it's in portable mode. Aiming feels clunky without it but still doable. Unable to rekeybind etc. So you are stuck with multiple buttons doing the same thing. Other issues with the game, somewhat. Still a great game but I don't think it's a 5/5 like people keep saying. "it makes it a classic, a master piece. Doesn't mean it has to be flawless" meanwhile anytime a game has a few flaws "eh, 9. Still great."
Get off your horse. There are dozens of channels around for critical analysis. Dunkey is simply in a league of his own when it comes to conveying the emotional impact of whatever game he discusses. Respect what he's done, even if you don't agree what was said.
Sadly...I'm sure other companies are looking at this game and thinking "You know....i bet Nintendo could have sold that cowboy hat in a randomized loot box for $1.99"
I just want another game to be this good so I can hear Dunkey talking about with pure joy and excitement. No other video I rewatch as often to feel good
I think there are quite a few games he talks so passionately about. But the video that comes to mind(isn’t even about a video game lmao) is his Lalaland and Whiplash review. Maybe it’s because I love those movies as well and don’t really have anything like that about Mario
@@tigirao5926 saw this comment and it made me feel good cuz I just watched his 64 video before this one. My dad passed away in 2009 and he was the reason I got into super Mario so much. If he was here today to see what games like this have become I think he’d be very happy. I wish I could show him how good they are now 🥺
@@nintendude6477 no hes right though... No point in arguing with a braindead nintenbot thats username is litterally nintendude 64 anyways. If you cant see that nintendo has been releasing the same game since the 80's then Nintendo truly has you by the balls.
Gentlegeneral You act like no other company just copies what is loved and makes them money. Literally every company does this, be it video games, other media, etc. Like Xbox and PS4 can be accused of the exact same thing, movies and tv shows, you get my point. Plus, this game isn’t even similar to the other 3D Marios. I get you’re a troll spamming replies to comments, but I don’t get why. You should try this game though. One of the best games I’ve ever played on any console, and I didn’t even play the other 3D Mario games (but I did watch my brother play Sunshine when I was little)
‘Other triple A studios look at and go “what are we even doing over here” I don’t think this was an invitation for square Enix to make whatever balan wonderworld was
and to add to that list -not forcing motion controls. It actually bothered me that doing some of the hat tricks and what not actually required you to shake your controller and you have no option to just map it to one of the buttons you have. 3 buttons share an action with another button. Just crazy. no one talks about this though. Not a huge issue but still there. Primarily homing cap throw and using spin throw reliably. I'd at least like to not have to spin in a circle for spin throw. However I get these abilities are "recommended not required." for me, it feels like it takes away from the gameplay elements. Maybe not for the rest of you.
This review made me question being a sub to this channel. Such gushing praise for the absolute worst 3D Mario game. It has amazing controls and it never tests you with them. "Some of the moons will floor you" is he serious? Filler and recycled content everywhere. The number of moons isn't impressive when 90% of them are absolutely garbage. Every puzzle room is a pale imitator and the worst case example of something that has been done better and more engagingly in previous titles. You get moons for... Playing a song. You get moons for... Finding toad who isn't hidden. You get moons for... Getting moons... You can spend coins to buy moons. You can find them out in the open. You can find them hidden in boxes or rocks. You can find them in the most mundane places or repeated content again and again and again. My nephew is into Mario games and he found this one "boring" and "too easy". And he's fucking rubbish at games!
This game review right here made me buy the switch just now, I come from a poor family and I am at a university studying but I still managed to get a bit of money to purchase the console and this game. I don't have a ps4 nor xbox because money reasons and I have an old pc that I play some games on it. I bought it today and once I started to play and watching mario, tears start to run across my face and I felt a huge amount of joy and excitement that I can't describe the feeling, made me remember the good old times of the n64 mario. This review alone made buy this game and console, thank you Dunkey thank you for showing what a game review is and should be like
I love listening to you compliment things. No idea how you do it, but your energy is so infectious. This sounds disingenuous, but I actually shed a tear while watching this. There's something so special about listening to people talk about something they are unconditionally passionate about. Its like, just for a moment, you get to dip your head into their world, while they show you all the special parts about it that they love. I hope this video is special to you, because it is very special to me.
Crazy how depressed this video makes me for not having a Switch, or any console. This is truly a reminder why I fucking love Dunkey. He's so passionate about games, and loves to talk about good ones, understands why bad games are bad. It's just magic listening to him talk about a game like this. Edit: Okay I got a Switch and Odyssey is one of the best games ever.
I love Dunkeys positive reviews, because even though they're not the most in depth, his enthusiasm is so contagious. Everyone i watch this i wanna replay Odyssey, he sells it better than any commercial ever could
Finally, FINALLY beat this game, as someone who has had Sunshine as my absolute favorite game since it came out. I gotta say, Odyssey pay homage to ALL it's old games, while throwing so many new things in the mix. I never thought I would say this, but Odyssey is literally the perfect 3D mario
I remember that Mario Galaxy was such a massive surprise of a game, that one of its cons was "music is too epic". Good Egg Galaxy STILL gives me chills.
originally i had that part set to jump up superstar but nintendo claimed the video, but then they also claimed the video for having galaxy music like a day later
@@videogamedunkey So you re-watch your own video and re-viewed the comments like, half a year later? Still great cause I also wanna know the answer. Nice reply Donk-born
4 years out and I still come to watch this because this video just...I love how much passion is in it. It's a fucking glorious depiction of appreciation and love.
It depends--they've got like two sides of the doggo coin. This game lets you play fetch with the dog. BOTW lets you do tricks with the dog. Neither let you pet the dog :(
I still remember the first time I stumbled across your channel. It was at the end of november, 2020. I'd just had a really rough year thanks to covid (my grandfather had also passed away recently), and felt really down. Depressed, even. I was scrolling through TH-cam late at night, and saw this video in my recommended. I hadn't owned a Mario game in quite a long time, as I skipped the Wii U/3DS era. But I remembered loving Mario when I was younger, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I clicked on it, and god damn am I glad that I did. I genuinely cried at 3:56 (still gets me every time), because it made me feel some, if not any semblance of emotion. The passion you gave off in this video was incredibly infectious. It showed how much you adored this game, and I just couldn't help but be swept away by it. In the following weeks, I rewatched the video time and time again to the point where I almost got obsessed with it. I just KNEW I had to play this wondrous game, so I saved up enough money to buy myself a Switch and a copy of Super Mario Odyssey which was at a discount thanks to christmas. The day my Switch arrived, I popped in the game and started playing. It was the best experience of my life. Zero exaggeration, Super Mario Odyssey (and by extension, your review) quite literally restored my will to live. The amount of intricate little details, immaculate worldbuilding and charming dialogue made this just such a complete experience. It even helped me cope with the passing of my grandfather, as his funeral was still fresh in my memory. I 100% completed the game in about a month's time, and then did it all over again (online classes were NOT it as many of you may know). Super Mario Odyssey quickly became my favourite game of all time, and still remains there to this day. Thank you, Dunk. Thank you for helping me get through the darkest periods of my life. I can barely describe how much it means to me. -A dedicated fan.
Odyssey is the closest any game in the last 10 years has come to capturing the wild eyed optimism of youth that games like Mario 64 and the other greats of its era used to evoke time and time again. And this video is the most uplifting review of a game I think I've ever seen. Thank you, Dunkey, for convincing me to buy a Switch when no other marketing from Nintendo or IGN or anyone else had been able to. Thank you for convincing me this game was worth it.
I have two really good friends and one of my good friends said he doesn’t like odyssey because it doesn’t have enough Luigi. He went missing a while back, not sure what happened to him
You know what I like about you dunk? The love. Your videos are so full of love, so sincere, it reaches right through the screen and gets me in the feels. Don’t ever stop baybeeeee
So I've never been a big Mario or platformer fan. Those kinds of games just passed me by. Decided to give Odyssey a try after getting a Switch at Christmas. Holy shit, it's amazing. Played for 6 hours straight tonight without even realizing it. I can't wait to play more.
@@bareq99 I did finish! Put about 35 hours into it, got about 560 moons. Really really enjoyed it. Some frustrating bits near the end but really liked it overall
Mario and Zelda alone are worth getting the Switch for. They're like 5 games in one. A piece. It's like your getting 10 games out of only 2 games. The amount of content per game, the nostalgia, the music, the personality, the original content that only the Nintendo can deliver. These two games alone crush all other consoles. That's saying a lot. I haven't felt the way I feel when I pick up my Switch since N64 days. I'm fuckin' 27 now and I feel like a child. It's just happy and good. FEELSGOODMAN
Connor Drew Games aren't really limited to a certain age. If they like playing Dora and they're 31, that's fine by me although I won't really understand why they find enjoyment in that...
@@thrawn4388 Now I also have Botw, SSBU, Celeste, Dead Cells, NSMB Deluxe, South Park 1&2, Undertale, Bayonetta 1&2, Mark of the Ninja Remastered, and Cuphead
It was the most disappointing game I’ve ever bought. 0 challenge, and I hate the capture mechanic. I just want to parkour as Mario through challenging and fun platforming levels. I loved the idea of jumping into 2D segments, but they are breathtakingly pathetic. It’s literally run in a straight line and jump over one pitfall. I don’t think a toddler could die in this game. The boss fights are awful. There are no difficult levels or challenge at all. It seems the challenge comes from… deciding to try to creatively figure out how to introduce a degree of challenge into the game? Nah. I want the challenge to be baked in so I have a clear goal and it tests my skills to accomplish that goal. I don’t want… use hat, become frog, jump to high place, grab moon. That is boring and lame. Or… get from point a to point b. But don’t use platforming to get there. Throw crappy on a plane and fly over there unimpeded. No jumping necessary whatsoever. I had too high of expectations. I thought it would be crazy fun 3D platforming where you jump into a 2D wall and then do some glorious 2D Mario platforming. The 2D segments I can’t stress enough, are just walk in a straight line for 3 seconds and jump over one goomba. The end. I pray they don’t make a sequel to this and make an actual fun 3D Mario again, instead.
Here I am, a grown ass English teacher, watching this video with a smile on my face writing down a transcription to use in my English classes in Norway. The vocabulary, the phrasing, the enthusiasm, the knowledge of gaming, the feelgood-factor - it's that good.
I've ever played odyssey, nor do I own a switch but when dunkey says "wipe yourself off man, because you are dead" and that montage plays it brings tears to my eyes. I honestly am not sure why, maybe its because it encapsulates that feeling of love for a game that is hard to express or something like that, either way this video is a masterpiece
The montage at 3:50 gives me chills every time. Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are nostalgic games for me growing up. To hear their music in this context is an emotional experience
Dunkey can make one of the best reviews I've ever seen in 5 minutes while everybody else would need a 3 hour long video on Odyssey to even reach this level, and even then it probably would fail in comparison to this one.
To this day there was nothing like running through New Donk City as Mario for the first time. The fact it was advertised the most (on the cover) and yet it came later on in the game, expecting you to recognize the visuals but you are so far in the game you literally can run around freely with knowledge. Like what amazing level design to know that we want to go crazy there and it’s available around when our skills ARE - GOIN - CRAZY
Somewhere in this world,there's some company thinking: 1."Daaaamn,that cowboy hat should be $11.99" 2."The real ending should be a dlc for $119.99" 3."That 50%of the map should be dlc for $1199.99"
I finally got to play this game myself, and in a world where game after game dissapoints me, failing to hold my attention til the end of the game, I’ve been playing Mario odyssey for 2 weeks straight. It’s just pure fun, one of the greatest 3d Mario games of all time
Zach Digital especially when he tells the beginning with the orchestra and T Rex. The greatest part is when he says "COME ON HOW THE F*CK CAN YOU NOT BE PLAYING THIS GAME RIGHT NOW!!"
This game came to me at the hardest point in my life to date, and its freedom and ability to just bring that emotion out of you the way Dunkey describes it was exactly the type of thing I needed most at that time. This game is a solidified part of my heart.
I wouldn't say Nintendo is pushing their boundaries when the only IPs that are famous of theirs are Mario, LOZ, Mario kart, and smash bros. Sony on the other hand is pushing boundaries with new IPs such as bloodborne or HZD. Returning IPs that are amazing like GT sport, spiderman, or uncharted. And even already existing IPs that completely change their formulas like God of war.
Dunkey talking normally: "SpAgHeTtI aNd mEaTbAlLs!!!"
Dunkey talking about Mario: "Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate."

"It's trash game , too complicated , not fun to play .......9.9/10"
"New Donk City" sounds like exactly the kind of name that Dunkey would casually make up. But it is, in fact, actually called New Donk City.
Sounds more like a Space Jam-themed city.
You see, this just proves my theory that Dunkey is just Reggie in disguise

Zyler Wow, that’s a general insult. So you’re telling me that millions of people are all absolutely moronic because they enjoy Nintendo games?
"If you can play this game and not feel some emotion come over you, wipe yourself off because YOU are dead." That touched my heart.
I always get like 3 consecutive chills every time I hear that and it goes into the montage with SMG music
I’ve done a few play throughs and it’s true. I always get a little emotional playing through, it’s just so much fun!
That one quote sums up my thoughts on this game. In the words of Bunkey, Mastapiece.
It's a rush hour quote lol
Seriously the thank you at the end actually made me cry

+Tree did you know your in a mayro game
Gman224 Oh yes I did. I feel special.
I love Dunkeys positive reviews, because even though they're not the most in depth, his enthusiasm is so contagious. Everyone i watch this i wanna replay Odyssey, he sells it better than any commercial ever could
Finally, FINALLY beat this game, as someone who has had Sunshine as my absolute favorite game since it came out. I gotta say, Odyssey pay homage to ALL it's old games, while throwing so many new things in the mix. I never thought I would say this, but Odyssey is literally the perfect 3D mario
I personally think it's the best 3d platformer ever made
Nintendo really busted a nut of creativity in this one. 10/10 seal of approval
i never thought i'd see someone say "busted a nut of creativity" ever in my life.
“Odyssey is amazing”
*plays Galaxy music*
I remember that Mario Galaxy was such a massive surprise of a game, that one of its cons was "music is too epic". Good Egg Galaxy STILL gives me chills.
I think galaxy has possibly the best video game soundtrack of all time.
It did feel kinda weird that it was used in a video on this game, for sure.
originally i had that part set to jump up superstar but nintendo claimed the video, but then they also claimed the video for having galaxy music like a day later
@@videogamedunkey So you re-watch your own video and re-viewed the comments like, half a year later? Still great cause I also wanna know the answer. Nice reply Donk-born

I found it funny that the dogs are more interactive in this game than Breath of the Wild. :0
It depends--they've got like two sides of the doggo coin. This game lets you play fetch with the dog. BOTW lets you do tricks with the dog.
Neither let you pet the dog :(

After 3 years I can finally confirm this is one of the greatest games ever. Just completed the story and I am still obsessed
I still remember the first time I stumbled across your channel. It was at the end of november, 2020. I'd just had a really rough year thanks to covid (my grandfather had also passed away recently), and felt really down. Depressed, even. I was scrolling through TH-cam late at night, and saw this video in my recommended. I hadn't owned a Mario game in quite a long time, as I skipped the Wii U/3DS era. But I remembered loving Mario when I was younger, so I figured I'd give it a shot.
I clicked on it, and god damn am I glad that I did. I genuinely cried at 3:56 (still gets me every time), because it made me feel some, if not any semblance of emotion. The passion you gave off in this video was incredibly infectious. It showed how much you adored this game, and I just couldn't help but be swept away by it. In the following weeks, I rewatched the video time and time again to the point where I almost got obsessed with it. I just KNEW I had to play this wondrous game, so I saved up enough money to buy myself a Switch and a copy of Super Mario Odyssey which was at a discount thanks to christmas. The day my Switch arrived, I popped in the game and started playing.
It was the best experience of my life.
Zero exaggeration, Super Mario Odyssey (and by extension, your review) quite literally restored my will to live. The amount of intricate little details, immaculate worldbuilding and charming dialogue made this just such a complete experience. It even helped me cope with the passing of my grandfather, as his funeral was still fresh in my memory. I 100% completed the game in about a month's time, and then did it all over again (online classes were NOT it as many of you may know). Super Mario Odyssey quickly became my favourite game of all time, and still remains there to this day.
Thank you, Dunk. Thank you for helping me get through the darkest periods of my life. I can barely describe how much it means to me.
-A dedicated fan.

Odyssey is the closest any game in the last 10 years has come to capturing the wild eyed optimism of youth that games like Mario 64 and the other greats of its era used to evoke time and time again. And this video is the most uplifting review of a game I think I've ever seen. Thank you, Dunkey, for convincing me to buy a Switch when no other marketing from Nintendo or IGN or anyone else had been able to. Thank you for convincing me this game was worth it.
I have two really good friends and one of my good friends said he doesn’t like odyssey because it doesn’t have enough Luigi. He went missing a while back, not sure what happened to him

How can you keep watching his videos? he is black, I don't watch him because dunkey is black.
Overall, 11/10 TH-camr.
i was just about to type something like that but i think that covers it
I come back to this video time and time again because the pure joy in Dunkey's voice allows my brain to produce serotonin. Thank you Dunk.
So I've never been a big Mario or platformer fan. Those kinds of games just passed me by. Decided to give Odyssey a try after getting a Switch at Christmas. Holy shit, it's amazing. Played for 6 hours straight tonight without even realizing it. I can't wait to play more.
I wonder what you think about it now? Did you finish it?
@@bareq99 I did finish! Put about 35 hours into it, got about 560 moons. Really really enjoyed it. Some frustrating bits near the end but really liked it overall
Mario and Zelda alone are worth getting the Switch for. They're like 5 games in one. A piece. It's like your getting 10 games out of only 2 games. The amount of content per game, the nostalgia, the music, the personality, the original content that only the Nintendo can deliver. These two games alone crush all other consoles. That's saying a lot. I haven't felt the way I feel when I pick up my Switch since N64 days. I'm fuckin' 27 now and I feel like a child. It's just happy and good. FEELSGOODMAN
Connor Drew If you love Nintendo you'll stick to them. Im 19 and I'll play their games until Im dead
Connor Drew Games aren't really limited to a certain age. If they like playing Dora and they're 31, that's fine by me although I won't really understand why they find enjoyment in that...

Hi
Hi
Hi
Hi
Hi
This review sold me on purchasing Mario Odyssey
Same & then I regretted it.
@@bbbbbbb51 Why u regret?
It was the most disappointing game I’ve ever bought. 0 challenge, and I hate the capture mechanic. I just want to parkour as Mario through challenging and fun platforming levels. I loved the idea of jumping into 2D segments, but they are breathtakingly pathetic. It’s literally run in a straight line and jump over one pitfall. I don’t think a toddler could die in this game. The boss fights are awful. There are no difficult levels or challenge at all. It seems the challenge comes from… deciding to try to creatively figure out how to introduce a degree of challenge into the game? Nah. I want the challenge to be baked in so I have a clear goal and it tests my skills to accomplish that goal. I don’t want… use hat, become frog, jump to high place, grab moon. That is boring and lame. Or… get from point a to point b. But don’t use platforming to get there. Throw crappy on a plane and fly over there unimpeded. No jumping necessary whatsoever. I had too high of expectations. I thought it would be crazy fun 3D platforming where you jump into a 2D wall and then do some glorious 2D Mario platforming. The 2D segments I can’t stress enough, are just walk in a straight line for 3 seconds and jump over one goomba. The end. I pray they don’t make a sequel to this and make an actual fun 3D Mario again, instead.
Bough the Switch because of this. Thank you Dunkey. This and BOTW are two experiences I'll never forget, ever.
Despite the absurd comedy I've grown to expect from you, you always have the perfect thing to say. This is a beautiful video
you're a beautiful video
no IM a beautiful video!
None of you are beautiful videos

Super Mario Odyssey is a MASTAPEECE.
literally every comment
Hey how are ya

Yeah, and I am still waiting for a masterful 3D Sonic game.
Here I am, a grown ass English teacher, watching this video with a smile on my face writing down a transcription to use in my English classes in Norway. The vocabulary, the phrasing, the enthusiasm, the knowledge of gaming, the feelgood-factor - it's that good.
I just found the only reason this review is not 5/5. Thank you
Poor kids of Norway
I've ever played odyssey, nor do I own a switch but when dunkey says "wipe yourself off man, because you are dead" and that montage plays it brings tears to my eyes. I honestly am not sure why, maybe its because it encapsulates that feeling of love for a game that is hard to express or something like that, either way this video is a masterpiece
*MAHRIO IS BACK B A Y B E E*
Ey it's baby boi udun
And so is Casca this December my dude
Does anyone know the song in the montage at the end of the video
how does this video has 200 likes only and this comment 350?
Flame of Udun I feel like I've seen you before. I think you made a joke about monster hunters sword looking like dragon slayer or something like that
"The gameplay is breathtaking and exciting"
4:21 *shows Mario kicking several cans on a roof*
Matt Smith honestly tho, that scene blew my mind lol. It's the little things too braj.
I cannot explain to you enough how satisfying it is to kick cans in this game.
that's so close to 4:20 , i'm mad
Little do you know *spoiler alert* there's a moon behind that garbage
You laugh, but that was the best part of Megaman Legends.
The montage at 3:50 gives me chills every time. Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are nostalgic games for me growing up. To hear their music in this context is an emotional experience
Dunkey can make one of the best reviews I've ever seen in 5 minutes while everybody else would need a 3 hour long video on Odyssey to even reach this level, and even then it probably would fail in comparison to this one.
My thought process watching this video:
hmmm, I'm not sure if I want to put 300$ on a Nintendo switch just to buy one ga-
"YOU CAN BE A TREE!"
sold.
better not be one game when breath of the wild is a thing 😤
you can be a FORK
it costs only 300 dollars for you, it costs 3000 reais for us its a sad world :c
I mean it would be really stupid for it to be 300 on every country. On japan it would be basically free.
Made me just realise that i got all the Nintendo consoles for Mario, hence why i skipped the WiiU tbh.
Y'know why odyssey's platforming is so satisfying? It's because they took notes from Knack 2, ladies and gentlemen. 4 outta 5 not as good as Knack
videogamedunkey Official
*BIG SURPRISE*
Shut up you fake bot.
HeavenCloud Don't knock the bot it just wants to give you the Knack trilogy.
To this day there was nothing like running through New Donk City as Mario for the first time. The fact it was advertised the most (on the cover) and yet it came later on in the game, expecting you to recognize the visuals but you are so far in the game you literally can run around freely with knowledge. Like what amazing level design to know that we want to go crazy there and it’s available around when our skills ARE - GOIN - CRAZY
Every time I hear you review a game, I don't feel like I'm watching a reviewer, but I am having a conversation with a friend.
Perfect Review. 10/10....Hats off.

It’s culture to come back every once in a while to rewatch this review.
This game made me feel like a kid again, I’ve never felt such a crazy sense of fun, wonder, and joy playing a game…
I sold my soul to Nintendo to see Mario wear a sombrero
God these bots are pathetic
UnPhayzable that was a good waste
We thank you for your sacrifice
UnPhayzable thank you for your sacrifice
I sold mine to see Mario wearing less like in boxers
Somewhere in this world,there's some company thinking:
1."Daaaamn,that cowboy hat should be $11.99"
2."The real ending should be a dlc for $119.99"
3."That 50%of the map should be dlc for $1199.99"
Zaki Rizki *cough* EA *cough*
but what about pride and accomplishment?
EA: You can play as Bowser in Odyssey for a mere $15.99 per month
EA in a nutshell
COSTUME PACK FOR $69.99
I finally got to play this game myself, and in a world where game after game dissapoints me, failing to hold my attention til the end of the game, I’ve been playing Mario odyssey for 2 weeks straight. It’s just pure fun, one of the greatest 3d Mario games of all time
I come back and watch this video whenever I feel sad. So inspiring. I can’t explain it. Thank you, Dunkey.
“YOU CAN BE A FORK”
Best game ever
Yummy Waffles the "You can be a goombas" part killed me the most

the excitement in your voice for this review was great!
Get stuffed.
I clicked 'cause think was a joke. Damn you Mario.
_You can be a tree_
Zach Digital especially when he tells the beginning with the orchestra and T Rex. The greatest part is when he says "COME ON HOW THE F*CK CAN YOU NOT BE PLAYING THIS GAME RIGHT NOW!!"
now looking back
mario is no longer a t rex but an elephant
This game came to me at the hardest point in my life to date, and its freedom and ability to just bring that emotion out of you the way Dunkey describes it was exactly the type of thing I needed most at that time. This game is a solidified part of my heart.

Because commenting on TH-cam is keeping me from playing more Mario.
I'm more impressed on how your videos can sell a game more than the company could ever do if they tried.
Xzhi the fact it got claimed annoys me.
implying the company's helpless at selling the game
the same company that made Mario Odyssey a masterpiece
It sucks that this video is probably demonetized
the game sold 2 million copies in its first few days, that’s before dunkey’s video... your comment doesn’t really make sense
I'm sure "sell" in this context was intended to describe an argument made for the quality of the game - not its literal sales.
He wasn't lying about the metro city finale, that shit actually made me almost tear up just from how emotional it felt.
I swear Dunkey’s passion is contagious
It's Ironic that this video about a masterpiece is a masterpiece in itself

Are you kidding me?
Micro transactions the game 2 +Star Wars DLC is the best game EVER
Yeah who ever heard of a good game where you don't have to pay to unlock every separate section?
I wouldn’t call odyssey pushing boundaries but I do like the fact that they don’t try to fleece us at every opportunity.
Well, hopefully Nintendo is rewarded for their efforts in sales, micro transactions earns a lot of money because we keep on buying it.
I wouldn't say Nintendo is pushing their boundaries when the only IPs that are famous of theirs are Mario, LOZ, Mario kart, and smash bros.
Sony on the other hand is pushing boundaries with new IPs such as bloodborne or HZD. Returning IPs that are amazing like GT sport, spiderman, or uncharted. And even already existing IPs that completely change their formulas like God of war.
This is the kind of video that I imagine other video game review youtubers look at and go "what are we even doing over here?"
No joke, Mario Odyssey is my favorite game of all time.
Wow, what a hot take.
Such a controversial opinion to make the most critically acclaimed game of the decade (beside botw) you’re favourite game of all time
is this the only video where dunkey starts with his rating?
yes
Probably a message to all the people who just care about the ratings
