The Story is so, so good. Compared to Zelda, Which hardly had any story. Zelda was all about the open canvas and freedom to roam and uncover the expansive world. I loved BOTW. But XB2, every rare blade you come across is different and most have their own story missions to unlock their respective affinity's. I love the world Monolith has created and i am going to be really sad when the story is over. (I am very close) XB2 is DEEP. So deep in fact that I think the reviews probably came too soon, as I thought it was really good early, and as I have progressed, and learned how to navigate the world and the system's, it has become Great. I cannot offer enough praise, and I am excited that Monolith is going to patch it on 12/22 to fix the map, which is a glaring problem until you get used to it.
