Breath of the Wild does one thing better than every other game before it - creating a sense of adventure in the player. I can only count on one hand the number of games that have made me feel pure child-like adventure and discovery like this game has.

Above all, that is the one feeling I constantly chase in video games. A feeling of adventure. BOTW is able to deliver that in every moment. Simply being in Hyrule gives a sense of freedom and peace that I can't quite describe. On my way to one destination, I find five more that I want to go explore. Like a kid in a candy store.

I could dive into more specifics. I could talk about whether the weapon durability is good or not, or if the lack of dungeons is a bad thing or not. But I don't have anything to say that hasn't been beat to death already.

This game makes me feel emotions that no other piece of art from any medium ever has. It's hard to boil that down to words or numbers.

This is my favorite world to be in. This is my favorite game I've ever played.

10/10
