Okay, this is actually the greatest game of all time, completely seriously. I stopped playing this game at 115 hours, and had explored maybe half of the world. I’m so serious when I say I could put twice as many hours in this game as I did and still would have more to explore. The value of this game comes in the open world, and the creativity this game sparks. This game improved on everything I didn’t even think you could improve on from breath of the wild. The building mechanic, the fusion, they are all incredible abilities that lead to so many great moments. The only real issue I have with this game is the story, I think it’s kinda lazy and once you figure out the plot twist before everyone else does it gets a little silly. But that's not why you play this game, and if you’re playing for the right reasons you will get an amazing gaming experience. It’s fucking insane to me that when I found out this game was coming out I kept thinking to myself that there was no way they could improve from what BOTW built off. When I found out they were using the same region I was very cautiously optimistic. The sky islands were an interesting subversion but I thought there was no way they could fit a whole new game's worth of content up there, and I was right. Then I found out about the depths. There's literally a map sized nega-verse directly under Hyrule that I didn't even know about till I played the game. Each shrine is rewarding, and the gameplay and combat are great as expected. God this game is amazing.
