For me, it was the first game in years that really felt like it was pushing gaming forward as a medium instead of just retreading an established formula with prettier pixels. It captured my imagination and gave me newfound hope for the future of video games. |
I couldn't have said it better. I wish their were more games that were as ambitious as Breath of the Wild.

I totally agree.
The funny thing is that I normally don't really care for big puzzle dungeons (and I didn't really care for the 4 big ones in BotW either.) But the shrines just feel perfect. To me BotW is an exploration game first and foremost, but when I find something interesting I want to be able to fool with it for a little while. The shrines did that for me perfectly. Find a shrine. Take a few minutes to solve it. Get reward. Boom, I'm back exploring. That is the way to do it. The big dungeons take me away from exploring for too long.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
