I haven't finished it yet (finished Spirit Temple and currently searching for Ganondorf), so I don't have final score, but it's pretty much were it was from fairly early on - that is around 3.5 out of 5 stars (I go by Adventure Gamers Scoring System, which translates to Good - I feel that Metacritic's game scoring system is ridiculously overblown, as compared to their movie scoring system, which is more balanced).

I like some things quite a bit, which are great improvements from BotW, and then there are things that I find actually diminish game by quite a bit (some old from BotW and some new).

Eventually I might write full review or at least bullet-point Pros and Cons, so I'll go in more depth there.

Thanks looking forward to the review.

I've finished it couple of days ago. I won't be writing a full review, I haven't done that in decades, and besides it would be more of an essay about where open worlds come from, what they actually are, and how Zelda fits in there - and I really, really don't have patience and desire to put that in writing, given how much time it would take. So in a few days I'll just write Pros and Cons.

My final verdict would be somewhere between Decent (A qualified success; the positive aspects still outnumber the negative, but the weaknesses noticeably hinder the experience) and Good (A solid adventure that is generally enjoyable, though it lacks enough polish, consistency or ambition to recommend without caution).
* these are Adventure Gamers descriptions of 3 stars (Decent) and 3.5 stars (Good), the system I use to score video games as well.
