Is Breath of the Wild really that good?

 "I understand that for a Zelda game it's great. But if you look at it as a next gen game, it isn't" 

That is just not true at all. On a graphical standpoint, yes it's not  as refined as a PS4 and One game, of course. But everything else is on par or better than the greatest games of this gen.

You'll see for yourself

I think you are correct. But maybe I should have mentioned, in my opinion of next gen gaming. Which is for me, very good graphics, physics, very stable and high frame rates, much bigger worlds then what is done in current gens etc etc. In that term I don't think this is the case for the new Zelda game, maybe only on the world size it could be on par. But as I tried to make clear, is that important for this type of game? No it isn't, even in the period when the first Zelda game came it was not the best graphical game but I enjoyed the game much more then alsmost all others. (except for Rygar NES edition, which I enjoyed even more )

I think at this point the word next gen means next gen lol, you are talking current gen. My counter argument is, not trying to start any war, just purely based on numbers, if graphics were all that mattered, Horizon would probably score a 15/10(of course, could be better on PC, but meh,) but it didn't, it's an 8.8/10. As a matter of fact, Nier: Automata, which is more in line with what you might be talking about, has a 9/10 so far, which, is higher than Horizon. I'm not asking you to change your mind, just a little time to give it some thought.
