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.
if it’s the switch version of 3D World you’re emulating, have you tried Bowser’s Fury mode? imo 3D World is neat but Bowser’s Fury is absolutely phenomenal
Penny’s Big Breakaway is on Steam and it has movement options very similar to Oddessy paired with Sonic-style rolling gameplay. I think the bosses are a noticable weak point but the levels are fantastic. if you like the momentum stuff, Spark the Electric Jester 2 (cutscenes but you can skip ‘em) and 3 and Rollin’ Rascal (early access) are excellent as well
+1 for Kirby and the Forgotten World, magnificent game. if you feel particularly brave, the much maligned Balan Wonderworld is similar but with an emphasis on revisiting old levels with new powers ala LEGO Star Wars. i enjoyed it but most people did not so maybe save this one for a steep sale and a rainy day
oh, and Mika and the Witcj’s Mountain! it looks like a flying game but your flying is just double jumps boosted by gusts of winds- it’s secretly a platformer and a very fun one. this is another with a lot of dialogue though
