I put about 150 hours into Megadimension Neptunia VII and rarely got tired of it after all. That being said, there being “too much content” is not an inherent flaw in and of itself. You will only need a minimum of about 124 moons to see the initial ending credits but there is naturally a fuckton more to do.
For casual gamers or kids who are just playing through to see the end credits for the first time. You don’t need to do even nearly all of it to see the ending credits but this game is going to give completionists nightmares. There is just so much shit packed into this game that it risks becoming overwhelming and tiring to do all of it. It may even be possible that Super Mario Odyssey is TOO massive. Super Mario Odyssey on the other hand, has a total of 880 power moons (technically 830 since some are multi-moons that count as three moons). In the aforementioned games, there were a total of 120 collectables, with the exception of Galaxy 1 and 2 which had 121 and 242 stars respectively (and even then, Galaxy 2’s green stars were just cheap padding implements that required you to replay old levels to find them, some multiple times because collecting a star took you back to the overworld). Similarly to Mario 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy, the goal is to gather up a bunch of shiny collectables that allow you to access other worlds. The question was never so much about whether or not it is good, but HOW good? There are some criticisms that I have with the game because I’m a total buzzkill and always can find something to complain about, but Mario Odyssey is a remarkably solid game. While I may have a softer spot for the Galaxy titles, I am not going to deny that Super Mario Odyssey is a top notch platformer that can easily go toe to toe with them. For the purpose of comparison, I HAVE played every other 3D Mario platformer with the exception of the DS remake of Mario 64. While I planned and still do plan to play Super Mario 3D World at some point, I never quite got around to it. Not only did I find it nowhere near as good as Super Mario World, but it wasn’t even as good as New Super Mario Bros Wii. Unfortunately NSMBU fell way short of my expectations. NSMBU was hailed as the best 2D Mario platformer since Super Mario World, and given how much I loved Super Mario World I was very excited to play NSMBU. Despite the fact that it had mostly positive reception, I have yet to play Super Mario 3D World due to the fact that I did not care for its predecessor Super Mario 3D Land or New Super Mario Bros U.
Yet here we are and Nintendo seems to be back on top. Even when the Switch just came out, people were saying it was just a fluke and that the support the system had was going to wane. Ever since that awful E3 conference in 2008, people have assumed that Nintendo stopped caring about their core base. It may be safe to say that Nintendo is going through a renaissance of sorts as of late.It seems like just a few years ago everyone was on Nintendo’s ass for their refusal to innovate and going on and on about how much of a failure the Wii U was.
