Having never played the original but knowing about how crazy some players are about this game, I went into this one with high expectations. They were only partially met.

I enjoyed some parts of the game, mostly the feeling of attempting to take down the enormous bosses with nothing but a sword and bow, going into each fight feeling at a huge disadvantage.

However, the world is too vast for it being so empty, the collecetibles feel pointless, and the gameplay during fights is more frustrating than fun.

The best part were the Time Attacks on Hard mode.
