Getting a Nintendo Switch + Zelda tomorrow..

[HoloDust]

I can comment only on Zelda, since I'm playing it on Wii U.

Not finished yet (3 Divine Beasts down), but so far it's my least favourite 3D Zelda (not counting MM which I quit quite early due to annoying 3 day mechanism).

Now, Zelda is consistently in my "Top 10 IPs with 3 or more entries", and as someone who complained about Anouma's "puzzle time" Zeldas for so long and has been enjoying open world games ever since early 90s BotW should be right up my alley, but it's not - honestly, at this point I feel like it's Anouma's Trojan "Portal puzzles on easy" horse with all the damn shrines, and open world exploration is ultimately easily broken (just like weapons) with Link free climbing ability (except in said shrines, where his "a fly sticking to the wall" skill is turned off by design, since that would break a lot of those puzzles).

I could go on, but I'm lazy to write full review, so, as someone said it somewhere, it ultimately boils down to game just lacking that Zelda magic that previous games had, despite their other flaws.

It's not all bad, I'm still playing it and there are quite a few things that I enjoy about it, but all in all, it's far from best 3D Zelda, let alone anything else...well, at least for me - I don't know, maybe I'm just too old and played way too many games, but BotW, so far, does very little for me.
