GIOVANNI GALVANO

This is my favorite game of all time!!! The battle system is super fun and rewarding, every move used by you or your enemies being tailor-made for them by the passionate South Park creators. Walking around town to solve puzzles and collect new weapons or equipment will never cease to feel fun and rewarding. On the topic of puzzles, some of them can actually be a bit challenging on a first playthrough, but as you get used to chaining your moves to access areas it is a blast. The story is OBVIOUSLY the best ever, being super funny and entertaining the whole way through. While the story and gameplay can be enjoyed by everyone, this game becomes my absolute favorite due to its millions of references to the show. This game OOZES fan service with every joke, piece of equipment, and even every bit of junk you pick up. The game really immerses you into the show and world, not only making you feel like a kid playing with capes and sticks again... but one of the actual South Park boys. AHHH THIS GAME IS SOOOO GOOD!!!

My favorite platformer of all time! The controls are incredibly smooth, I never had camera problems, and FLUDD is a unique and ridiculously fun addition. The best part of this game for me is the IMMERSION!!! The charming story, funny/interactive npcs, and constantly evolving levels truly make you WANT to collect these shines and make a positive difference for the piantas. A final point I need to make is the level design. Each world is thematically consistent yet manages to feel one of a kind! I remember every world and mission despite them all being vacation themed. Also, I absolutely adore the variety in challenges, fights, and levels to get shines. Even collecting blue coins is a blast!!!

This game is a blast all the way through, rarely ever feeling stale or boring. This feels like the true successor to my favorite Mario Game (Sunshine) with its story moons that help make the npcs happy and world around you better, as well as its plethora of awesome collectibles that you can grab at your own pace. While there is little challenge and many filler moons, every bit of exploration is SO fun since Odyssey has the best controls and some of the best level design of any platformer. Odyssey genuinely feels like a "journey>destination" type game where it is super fun to explore but your rewards are underwhelming. I replay this game all the time, and I cannot recommend it enough. Great controls, level design, structure, music, and graphics!!!
