Guessed by Platina

I thought there would never be another game that would crack my Top 10 for a long time. Those games have all been something really special. Games that have stayed with me for many generations, games that impressed me in ways that are unerasable, and are all the peak of their genres and series. So how can something worm its way between those landmarks of games and stand among them like some wolf in sheep's clothes? For many years I thought gaming didn't have what it took anymore, but then came 'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild'. Leave it to the Zelda series to find a way.

When Breath of the Wild released and I first played it, I couldn't put it down again. After an intro sequence the game puts you in the world and just lets you go, like a wolf that's been held in captivity and is now set loose in the world for the first time. The world is huge, really huge. When you find something, you'll be attracted to something else and before you know it you're nowhere near where you originally wanted to be. I never experienced such freedom ever before. At one point I thought I went to most places and found a lot of stuff, but then there was an update. This update showed the route you have walked all through the game, so this green line went to all corners. However, there's like half the map I had never seen apparently. So there I went.
