I have mixed feelings about it so far - as I expected, I pretty much loath most things about Ultrahand, and Fuse is ridiculous for majority of combinations (from both logical and aesthetic side of things). I don't care much for either Ascend (which empowers lazy game design, from what I experienced so far) or Recall.
I'm trying to like it more than BotW, cause, from what I've seen, it's promises better narrative structure than BotW, yet all the things that I didn't like in BotW (and there are crapload of those) are pretty much the same in this game, plus some new ones.
I like Depths, they are more punishing than Overworld (which is again full of uninteresting padding), yet I was really hoping for more of a classic Zelda underworld, with lot of caves and passages - maybe there is that too later, haven't seen them yet though.
I'll press on, though that doesn't give me much of a hope - I had to finish BotW just to do it, not cause I wanted it, and that never happened to me in Zelda. Given how much of the BotW stuff it's in here, I'm feeling I'll loose any desire to play it at some point...unless narrative structure is really that much better and dungeons are indeed significantly engaging and bigger than Divine Beasts.
On the bright side, my son really likes it, as expected. |
I will never be able to understand you. |
Maybe that's cause I'm 50+ years old and I've played Zeldas and open world games whole my gaming life.
Simply put, BotW formula is not very much to my liking, neither as open world game, and especially not as Zelda game. There is some really good stuff in it, but there is just not enough to make it something that I like or care for very much, especially since lot of old stuff was thrown away. So, if Zelda keeps on in this direction, I'll just move on from it, like I did with some other IPs I loved so much that were too drastically changed - there's never really shortage of great games out there.
