Bio
I grew up with games. Started with the NES and arcade as a kid and just never quit. I feel like I enjoy all genres and am lucky enough to have access to most systems and regularly play both retro games and new releases. I still have a ton on my backlog though especially since I keep going back and replaying favorites.

I ended up having to stop playing this game. Not because I wasn't having fun but because I just wasn't progressing. I really enjoyed the shooting. I thought it looked good and it felt good. I enjoyed my time with it. But unfortunately I'm just not good enough to beat these types of games. The randomness of it all is just too much for me. I understand that they don't want to put in an Easy Mode for people who don't wanna put the time in but I felt like I had maxed out all the weapons that I had available and all the traits and still wasn't able to progress. I made it to the 2nd noss a couple times but that was it. Maybe someday if this is still on PlayStation Plus I'll give it another try.
But for today I'm going to try something with a little bit more normal difficulty level

Well this was a big disappointment. I liked Breath of the Wild alright but wasn't crazy about it so was hopeful they had made some changes Unfortunately they went the wrong direction. The combination mechanic was neat but frustrating and it felt out of place in the game. The world was huge but devoid of character. The different regions were just interchangeable with the same basic stuff to do. The music was sparse and just kind of background stuff but nothing you'd listen to outside of maybe falling asleep to it. Sound design was well done though and the art style was same as BotW which i think is good but frame rate was worse.
If you just like wandering around aimlessly and spending forever traveling with the hope of entertainment hidden somewhere then I'm sure it's fine. I got fed up with the basic loop and when I realized after a couple dozen hours that yeah, this was all there was to do, I shelved it. A rare miss for the franchise. Here's hoping they start from scratch on the next one.
PROS: Sound effects, art and interesting combination mechanic
CONS: Lack of direction and entertainment
