Yes very much so. Was recently playing Yonder the Cloud Caching Chronicles and man did I notice how much I wanted to be able to do stuff like climb and the paraglide. Invisible walls, 2 foot ledges you can't go up. Forced paths, ect. It really takes the open out of open world. They somehow managed to make BotW completely open world, where you can go anywhere anytime and yet somehow never feel OP or underleveled at the same time. Getting certain abilities made certain areas become more skippable per say, but the way they made the world, you found yourself going back to places or not wanting to skip areas anyway. |
Nintendo has shown mastery over many genres, but its accomplishment with BotW might be its most impressive. On its first try with a modern open-world game, it basically set the new standard.
