It’s the first Mario game in a while where I feel that a huge part of what the game offers is completely beyond me.
That’s what the author feels is weird. That they find the game a bit too tricky compared to what they are used to. That and it feels new and strange.
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I’m with isn’t it, and what’s it seems weird and scary to me, and it’ll happen to you, too
That’s funny to read. I remember loving Odyssey because I never felt too punished for not having amazing video game dexterity. I felt like I had a ton of objectives that went up in difficulty in a very linear way and eventually got 100% on everything.
Even the very very last section, with a string of bosses that I found pretty damn near impossible, was surmountable. As someone with no interest in HP-sponge boss games, it was the part that I felt was the most frustrating. But enough rounds and I got better/lucky and finished that section.
What’s also funny about “articles” like this is that the author, like most of us, has probably spent hours as a kid trying to beat one level. Usually nowadays I feel bored after less than an hour of repeating and failing the same objective. I have way less time and patience for hard games. So I do sympathize a little. Bloodborne’s an intriguing game but I’m not going to torture myself over it.
I enjoyed the hell out of Odyssey, in large part because it has these kinds of combos and such. Nintendo did a great job of making a game that anyone can play and beat, but yet still offers some challenge for the folks who want to reach for 100% completion.

Fucking git gud. It’s Mario. Not a hard game.
