I’m close to finishing Super Mario Odyssey and was wondering which games are similar to it. Fun to play and no heavy story.
I have played or are currently also busy with;
- Mario Kart 8 (playing but finished everything).
- Super Mario Wonder (finished).
- Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (finished).
- Mario & Luigi brothership (did not like).
- Super Mario 3D World (Playing on/off).
- Breath Of The Wild (Playing).
I understand there’s also Tears of Kingdom but don’t want to play that one just yet. Might gift Switch 2 to a family member and I have heard it is now possible to have more than one save?
ETA: It is on Steam Deck through emulation. So other games outside of Nintendo is possible too.


In its general structure, yeah, it’s close. It definitely scratches the same itch for me.
On a more basic gameplay level, it’s a bit peculiar because it’s almost not a platform game in the traditional sense. There is very little jumping and a lot of climbing, digging and throwing stuff. But it’s fun, and there are cool moves to pull off in this one too.
