An impressive 20 hour game trapped inside a bloated experience five times that size. TotK has a huge volume of ideas scattered around it, but none of the core mechanics hold any intrinsic appeal to me. The thing is also cursed by being a Nintendo property--being forced to appeal to such a broad array of players really holds it back. This could be a world of rewarding exploration with creative traversal and exciting combat encounters; instead, the solution to every potential mystery is force-fed to you before you get a chance to think about it, "exploration" is just fast-traveling to a high point or lookout tower and gliding to the yellow dot, and enemies are best dispatched by sprinting in circles until you find a safe window to spam one of two attacks. Sadly, it's not for me.
